Move Out Cleaning & Move-In Cleaning in Duluth, MN
Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning from $349 per visit. Free itemized quote before anyone arrives.
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Duluth is a top-to-bottom clean of an empty home, inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets and closets included, priced flat per visit by home size. A tenant handing back the keys often needs every room wiped down so the landlord accepts the condition and returns the security deposit. Buyers and renters book a move-in clean before unpacking, while sellers prepare a house for showings. We use the same checklist on every visit, offer a free itemized quote, and serve Duluth and neighboring towns.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Duluth?
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Duluth starts from $349 per visit, while a standard clean starts from $219 per visit. The higher price covers deep work throughout an empty home, including inside cabinets, closets, and appliances. We quote a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and the 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 per item, our move-out cleaning includes inside the oven and refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, baseboards, and hard floors scrubbed top to bottom. The quote is free, itemized, and fixed before work begins.
What move out cleaning in Duluth involves that a generic one does not
In Duluth, 60% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 9% are in apartment buildings of 20 or more units. Single-family layouts often have several bathrooms and stairs that collect dust along the baseboards, whereas apartments involve a leasing-office walkthrough where every surface is checked. Snow and ice affect St. Louis County for months every year, ranking high for winter storms. From November to March, road salt and slush come in at every entrance and leave white marks on hard floors. Salt residue on entry floors is often the first thing a landlord or buyer notices during an inspection. Sweeping and mopping entryways right after the movers finish helps protect the floor surfaces and simplifies the final inspection.
Getting the security deposit back in Duluth
In Minnesota, a landlord must return the security deposit or provide a written itemized statement within three weeks after the tenancy ends and the tenant provides a forwarding mailing address. You can read our Minnesota move-out cleaning page for details on normal wear and tear and what to document when moving into a home. Taking dated photos of every clean room, inside appliances, and inside cabinets provides clear proof if a landlord questions the final condition of the property.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Duluth
A move-out cleaning for a studio or one-bedroom home usually takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom home of about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours. Larger homes with four or more bedrooms can take 8 to 14 or more labor hours, and cleaning inside appliances alone can add 2 to 3 labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the time spent on site. Booking a few days in advance works well. Schedule the cleaner for the day after the movers leave, with power and water left connected.

Move out cleaning in Duluth: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Duluth?
A move-out cleaning in Duluth starts from $349 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worth it when the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the visit or when your lease mandates a clean unit. However, if your lease automatically deducts a set fee for cleaning regardless of condition, check your lease terms before booking a cleaner.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. A maid scrubs bathrooms top to bottom, wipes down baseboards, and washes all hard floors.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit set by the room count and home condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the total cost depends on how many hours a cleaner spends on site.
How long does a landlord in Minnesota have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must send your deposit or an itemized list of deductions within three weeks of the lease ending and receiving your new address. Visit our Minnesota house cleaning page to read the full state deposit guidelines.
