Tenants handing back the keys and wanting the security deposit back book this service, as do buyers and renters cleaning before they unpack and sellers getting a home ready for showings.

How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Indianapolis?
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Indianapolis starts from $319 per visit. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $199. An empty-home clean costs more because the cleaner goes inside every cabinet, closet, oven, and refrigerator, scrubs baseboards and tile grout, and skips nothing that a landlord checks during a walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Rather than charging extra for individual items, the flat price includes deep work inside appliances, emptied cabinets, closets, and baseboards throughout the house. Every free quote comes fully itemized.
What move out cleaning in Indianapolis involves that a generic one does not
Housing types shape each clean. Across Marion County, 59% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 9% are in apartment buildings of 20 or more units, and 57% are owner-occupied. Multi-story single-family houses involve extra stairs, railings, and additional bathrooms, while large apartment complexes often require coordination with a leasing office for check-out time. Weather patterns also impact interior surfaces. FEMA ranks the county high for flooding from heavy rain. After heavy rain, mud is tracked inside, making entry floors, baseboards, and tile grout show heavy wear. Cleaning entryways and scrubbing lower wall surfaces first helps maintain a clean space.
Getting the security deposit back in Indianapolis
For a tenant in Indianapolis, Indiana law gives a landlord up to 45 days after the rental agreement terminates and possession is delivered to return the security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions. The landlord is not liable until the tenant provides a written forwarding address. For complete rules, normal wear and tear guidance, and move-in tips, visit our Indiana state page. Dated photos of every room after the clean and an itemized receipt settle most security deposit disputes.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Indianapolis
A studio or one-bedroom move-out cleaning typically takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom house of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours. For houses with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet, expect 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the time on site. Heavy appliance scrubbing alone can add 2 to 3 hours. Booking a few days ahead is usually sufficient. Schedule the move-out cleaning service for the final day after movers finish, ensuring water and power remain on.

Move out cleaning in Indianapolis: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Indianapolis?
A move-out cleaning starts from $319 per visit. The final rate depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the property, rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a move out cleaning makes sense when the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the clean or when your lease strictly mandates a clean unit upon departure. If your lease agreement already charges a fixed, non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition, a full clean may not be necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The cleaning service covers the entire interior of the home from top to bottom. It includes scrubbing inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets, as well as detailed work on bathrooms, baseboards, and floors.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes are hard to compare because total costs depend heavily on individual working speed and how many people show up.
How long does a landlord in Indiana have to return a security deposit?
A landlord has 45 days after lease termination and key return to provide the security deposit or an itemized list of damages, provided you supplied a written mailing address. Review our Indiana move-out page for additional state details.
