How much does a move out cleaning service cost in New Braunfels?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in New Braunfels starts from $289 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $179. An empty-home visit costs more because our house cleaners go inside every cabinet, closet, oven, and refrigerator, scrub baseboards and grout, and leave no area skipped before a final landlord walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total price is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Deep house cleaning tasks like interior appliances, emptied cabinets, and detailed trim work are included in your estimate rather than added as separate line items. Every quote is free and fully itemized before work begins.
What move out cleaning in New Braunfels involves that a generic one does not
In New Braunfels, 68% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 10% sit in large apartment communities. By comparison, in nearby San Marcos, only 35% of homes are single-family houses. Washing baseboards, stairs, and multi-bathroom floor plans takes extra time during a move-out cleaning. Heavy rain in the area frequently brings localized flooding, which tracks mud into entries and ground floors. Landlords and buyers notice stained grout and dull floors first when walking through an entry. A practical tip is to place mats inside doors while packing, then schedule your residential move-out cleaning after all foot traffic has finished.
Getting the security deposit back in New Braunfels
For a tenant in New Braunfels, Texas law requires a landlord to return the security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions on or before the 30th day after surrender. The clock starts on whichever date is later: the day you hand back keys or the day you supply a written forwarding address. Read our Texas move-out and move-in cleaning page for details on normal wear and tear and move-in records. Dated photos taken right after the clean provide clear evidence for your deposit.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in New Braunfels
A studio or one-bedroom move-out clean takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom home between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours. Larger homes with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew halves the actual time spent on site. Heavy appliance buildup on a move out can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance is usually sufficient. Plan the move out for the day after movers clear the rooms, ensuring water and power stay active.

Move out cleaning in New Braunfels: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in New Braunfels?
A move-out clean starts from $289 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall home condition rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a move out cleaning makes sense when the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the clean or when the lease requires a clean unit. It is not necessary if your lease charges an automatic fixed cleaning fee regardless of condition, which you should verify in your contract.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The visit includes inside the oven, interior refrigerator, empty cabinets and closets, bathrooms top to bottom, baseboards, and all floors. Everything on the landlord checklist is addressed in one complete visit.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we quote a flat rate per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes are hard to compare because total costs depend on individual work speed and crew size on the day of the job.
How long does a landlord in Texas have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the deposit or mail an itemized deduction accounting within 30 days of surrender. This countdown begins once you have surrendered the premises and provided your written forwarding address, whichever happens later. Our Texas state page outlines these rules in depth.
