A move-out or move-in cleaning in Scranton 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. Tenants hand back the keys and protect their security deposit, while buyers and renters clean before they unpack their boxes. Every move-out cleaning follows the same landlord-style checklist, with a free itemized quote for every house or apartment across the city.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Scranton?
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Scranton starts from $319 per visit. A standard clean for an occupied home starts from $199. An empty-home clean costs more because the maid cleans deep inside every cabinet, closet, oven and refrigerator, plus the baseboards and bath grout, so nothing stops a final walkthrough. We quote a flat price per visit from the number of 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. Inside the oven, refrigerator, emptied cabinets, closets and baseboards are included in that flat rate instead of being charged per item. Every quote is free and fully itemized before work begins.
What move out cleaning in Scranton involves that a generic one does not
In Scranton, 49% of homes are single-family detached houses and 5% are in large apartment buildings with 20 or more units. In nearby Clarks Summit, 81% of homes are single-family houses. Tenants moving out of Scranton apartments often face strict leasing-office check-out sheets, while single-family buyers check bath tile, grout and baseboards first. We recommend sweeping out garage floors and wiping down all entry sills before your final walkthrough.
Getting the security deposit back in Scranton
In Pennsylvania, a landlord must provide an itemized list of damages or return your security deposit within 30 days of the lease ending or when you surrender the keys, whichever happens first. Visit our state move-out and move-in cleaning page to read how state rules apply to normal wear and tear and move-in checklists. Taking dated photos of every room after the house cleaning service finishes gives you strong proof for your landlord or leasing agent.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Scranton
A studio or one-bedroom move-out clean takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom home requires 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom house of about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours. Larger homes of four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew halves the time on site. Heavy oven or refrigerator buildup can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Book your move-out clean for the day after the movers load the truck, with electric and water service still active for the cleaner.

Move out cleaning in Scranton: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Scranton?
A move-out clean starts from $319 per visit for an empty home. Your exact flat rate depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and the general 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 your security deposit is larger than the visit cost or when your lease contract requires a cleaned unit. If your lease already charges a fixed non-refundable exit fee regardless of condition, check your contract before booking a maid.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The cleaning service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets and closets. The cleaner also handles bathrooms top to bottom, scrubs grout, wipes baseboards and cleans all floors throughout the home.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms and home condition. Hourly estimates are hard to compare because the final cost shifts depending on crew speed and who shows up to clean.
How long does a landlord in Pennsylvania have to return a security deposit?
A landlord has 30 days from lease termination or key surrender to send your deposit or a written list of deductions. Read our Pennsylvania residential move-out page for complete details on deposit rules.
