How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Garland?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Garland starts from $299 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning visit starts from $189. An empty-home clean costs more because every cabinet, closet, and appliance is scrubbed inside, along with baseboards and tile grout, leaving nothing skipped for a landlord inspection. 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. Deep house cleaning tasks like the inside of the oven and refrigerator, emptied closets, and wiped baseboards are included in the price rather than charged as separate add-ons. Every quote from Home Glow Cleaning Services is free and itemized.
What move out cleaning in Garland involves that a generic one does not
In Garland, 68% of homes are single-family detached houses and 14% are in large apartment buildings with 20 or more units, while 62% are owner-occupied. In nearby Murphy, 98% of homes are single-family houses. Tenants moving out of local apartments often face strict leasing-office inspections across every room. Federal risk data ranks the area high for flooding from heavy rain. When storms pass through Garland, mud gets tracked into entries and hallways, leaving stubborn marks on wood, vinyl, and tile. A careful scrub of entry floors and baseboards removes this build-up before the final walkthrough. Ice storms also hit the region, drawing salt and sand onto hard floors. Wiping down entryways prevents permanent scratching on main floors.
Getting the security deposit back in Garland
Under Texas law, a landlord must return your security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions within 30 days. The 30-day clock starts on the date you surrender the premises or provide your written forwarding address, whichever happens later.

How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Garland
A studio or one-bedroom move-out clean usually takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom house between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours. Houses with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the time on site. Cleaning heavy grease inside appliances can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance is sufficient. Schedule the clean for the day after movers clear the furniture and ensure power and water stay active.

Move out cleaning in Garland: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Garland?
A move out cleaning in Garland starts from $299 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition of the property, rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worth it if your security deposit is larger than the cost of the service or if your lease explicitly requires a deep clean upon move-out. However, if your lease agreement automatically deducts a fixed cleaning fee regardless of condition, a full service may not be necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. Maid crews perform deep house cleaning in every bathroom from top to bottom, as well as wiping baseboards and washing all main floors.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit based on your home's bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the total cost depends entirely on how many hours the maid spends on site.
How long does a landlord in Texas have to return a security deposit?
Texas law requires landlords to return the deposit within 30 days after you hand over the keys and supply a forwarding address. Read our state move-out page for additional details on tenant rights and deposit returns.
