How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Tigard?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Tigard starts from $379 per visit, which covers the deep house cleaning of an empty residence from ceiling fixtures to baseboards. For comparison, a standard clean starts from $239 per visit for a home that is already occupied. An empty-home clean costs more because every appliance interior, cabinet shelf, closet track, and section of wall trim is wiped down without furniture in the way. We quote a flat rate per visit from 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 for individual tasks, the flat price includes inside the oven and refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, baseboards, and bathroom grout. Every quote is free and fully itemized before any work begins.
What move out cleaning in Tigard involves that a generic one does not
Housing in Tigard is mostly single-family detached houses, though one in ten homes is inside an apartment building with twenty or more units. In nearby Oatfield, eighty-five percent of residences are single-family houses, making apartment check-outs less frequent there. A property manager checking an apartment leasing return looks closely at bathroom grout and window tracks, while a buyer in a single-family house notices whether baseboards and cabinets were cleared. Climate events in the region create specific maintenance needs inside empty homes. Washington County ranks high nationally for ice storms, which pull cold moisture and salt into entryways, leaving white films on flooring. During wildfire smoke events, fine ash settles on window sills, along trim, and inside vent covers. Before a landlord walkthrough or move-in date, open all interior doors to check sills for gray soot, wipe baseboards near doors where winter ice residue collects, and clear window tracks where ash accumulates during late summer months.
Getting the security deposit back in Tigard
Under Oregon law, a landlord has 31 days to return your security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions. This clock starts only after your tenancy officially terminates and you deliver physical possession of the property back to the owner. For complete details on normal wear and tear, move-in checklists, and deduction rules, review our Oregon move-out cleaning page. Taking dated photos of every room, appliance interior, and floor surface immediately after the cleaning service leaves provides clear evidence for your deposit return.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Tigard
A studio or one-bedroom move-out cleaning typically takes 2 to 4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom property requires 4 to 6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours, and four-bedroom homes of 3,000 square feet or more require 8 to 14 or more labor hours. Bringing a two-person crew cuts the time spent on site in half while the total labor hours remain the same. Cleaning appliance interiors on a move out cleaning can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance allows enough time to adjust the schedule if your moving truck runs late. Schedule the clean for the day after the movers empty the rooms, making sure electricity and running water stay connected.

Move out cleaning in Tigard: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Tigard?
A move-out clean starts from $379 per visit. The final cost is set by the total number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, never by square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a maid service is worth the cost if your security deposit is larger than the price of the clean or if your lease explicitly mandates a deep house cleaning upon departure. However, if your lease agreement automatically deducts a set, non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition, performing an extensive clean yourself or hiring a cleaner is unnecessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers every corner of an empty home, including inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, and inside all emptied cabinets and closets. Cleaners scrub bathrooms top to bottom, wipe down baseboards, sweep and mop floors, and clear dust from light fixtures and window tracks.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we offer a flat rate determined by the room count, number of bathrooms, and overall condition of the property. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the total bill depends on how many hours a cleaner spends on site.
How long does a landlord in Oregon have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the deposit or supply an itemized list of claims within 31 days. This timeline begins once the lease ends and the tenant surrenders the keys. Additional details on tenant rights can be found on our Oregon state page.
