How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Virginia Beach?
A move-out cleaning in Virginia Beach starts from $299 per visit, which covers the entire empty property. By comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $189 per visit. The empty-home service costs more because the team reaches areas usually blocked by furniture and appliances, scrubbing inside every cabinet, closet, refrigerator, and oven, as well as wiping down baseboards and cleaning deep house cleaning details for a landlord inspection. 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. All standard empty-home tasks, including inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied cabinets, closets, and baseboards, are included in the price rather than added on. Every quote is free and itemized.

Heavy spring pollen in March and April leaves a yellow film on sills, blinds, and vents that a landlord or buyer notices right away.

A move-out cleaning for a studio or one-bedroom home takes about 2-4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom property requires 4-6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home around 1,500-2,000 square feet takes 5-8 labor hours, and a house with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet takes 8-14+ labor hours. A two-person crew roughly halves the time on site. Cleaning inside appliances alone can add 2-3 labor hours on a move-out clean.

Move out cleaning in Virginia Beach: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Virginia Beach?
A move out cleaning starts from $299 per visit. The final figure is fixed before the appointment based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition of the home rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worth the cost when the security deposit at stake is larger than the price of the visit or when your lease requires a clean unit. It is unnecessary if your lease automatically charges a non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition, which you should verify in your contract.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers a complete clean of the empty property, including inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, and inside all cabinets and closets. The team also scrubs bathrooms top to bottom, wipes down baseboards, and cleans all floors.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the total cost depends entirely on the speed and number of people sent on the day.
How long does a landlord in Virginia have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the security deposit and an itemized list of deductions within 45 days of the termination date or the date you vacate, whichever is later. Full details regarding deposit returns and tenant rights are available on our Virginia state page.
