Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning from $369 per visit. Free itemized quote before anyone arrives.
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Lakeville 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. Buyers and renters often arrange a clean before they unpack so they can settle into fresh rooms, while departing tenants book to hand back keys and request their security deposit back, and sellers prepare for open houses. We use the same landlord-style checklist on every job, provide a free itemized quote, and offer coverage across the city and nearby communities.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Lakeville?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Lakeville starts from $369 per visit. By comparison, standard house cleaning starts from $229 per visit. An empty-home clean costs more because every cabinet, closet, and appliance is cleaned inside, and baseboards and grout are scrubbed so nothing is skipped during a final walkthrough. We quote a flat rate 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 per item, our price includes inside the oven and refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, baseboards, and all living spaces. Every quote is free and itemized before you book.
What move out cleaning in Lakeville involves that a generic one does not
Lakeville housing consists mostly of large residential spaces, where 72% of homes are single-family detached houses and 88% are owner-occupied. By contrast, in nearby Credit River, 98% of homes are single-family houses. With only 1% of Lakeville homes in large apartment buildings, most moves involve multi-story houses with multiple bathrooms and stairs. In snowy winters from November to March, road salt and slush track inside at every entrance, leaving white crusty marks on hard floors that require thorough washing. Federal risk data for Dakota County highlights frequent winter storms and strong windstorms, which force fine dust and dry outdoor debris deep into entryways and window tracks. Landlords and buyers inspect floor corners, entry thresholds, and window sills first. Clearing out dust from window tracks and wiping entry floors clean right before your final walkthrough prevents these regional issues from showing up on your move-out inspection.
Getting the security deposit back in Lakeville
For a tenant moving out in Lakeville, Minnesota law requires the landlord to return the security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions within three weeks. This three-week clock begins after the tenancy ends and the tenant provides a new mailing address or delivery instructions. For the full state regulations, normal wear and tear guidelines, and checklists for move-in documentation, visit our Minnesota move-out and move-in cleaning page. Taking dated photos of every clean room provides useful proof if a deposit dispute arises.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Lakeville
A studio or one-bedroom home takes between 2 and 4 labor hours to clean. A two-bedroom home requires 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom house measuring 1,500 to 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours. For larger single-family homes with four or more bedrooms, expect 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew halves the actual time spent on site. Cleaning inside major appliances can add 2 to 3 labor hours on its own. Booking a few days ahead is usually sufficient. Schedule your clean for the final day after movers finish, with electricity and running water left on.

Move out cleaning in Lakeville: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Lakeville?
A move out cleaning in Lakeville starts from $369 per visit. The final rate is calculated from 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 maid for a move out cleaning makes sense when the security deposit exceeds the price of the visit or when the lease demands a clean unit. It is unnecessary if your lease already charges a non-refundable fixed cleaning fee, so check your agreement first.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
Our cleaning service covers the inside of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. A maid scrubs bathrooms top to bottom, wipes baseboards, and cleans all floor surfaces throughout the empty property.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, our cleaning company charges a flat rate per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes from an independent cleaner are hard to compare because the final cost changes depending on how fast the crew works.
How long does a landlord in Minnesota have to return a security deposit?
A landlord has three weeks to return the deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions once the tenancy ends and you supply a forwarding address. You can read the full state details on our Minnesota residential page.
