Move-in cleaning

Moving into a new Toronto home is the best moment to clean it properly — before boxes and furniture cover every surface. Even when a previous tenant or seller has cleaned, cabinets, drawers, appliance interiors and bathroom fixtures often need another pass before you're comfortable using them. A move-in clean gives you a fresh start: every cabinet wiped inside, the oven and fridge cleaned, bathrooms detailed and floors done throughout. Book it for the day you get the keys, before your movers arrive.

Inspection checklist

Our move-out checklist follows what Toronto landlords, property managers and agencies typically review at a final walk-through: kitchen counters, backsplash and cabinet fronts degreased; inside oven, fridge and cabinets cleaned; sink and taps descaled where possible; bathrooms detailed including toilet, tub, shower glass, grout lines and mirrors; baseboards, doors, frames and switches wiped; closets and shelves cleaned; interior windows and sills cleaned; and every floor vacuumed and mopped. If your lease or building has its own checklist, add it to your booking notes.

Appliance interiors

Appliances are where move-out inspections most often focus. Every move-in and move-out clean includes the inside of the oven — racks, glass and baked-on buildup — and the inside of the fridge, with shelves and drawers removed and washed. Please switch off and defrost the fridge and freezer before we arrive; our Terms note that an end-of-tenancy booking assumes the home is empty and the fridge has been defrosted.

Key handover

If you've already moved out, you don't need to be there. Leave keys and fobs with concierge, in a lockbox or with your landlord, and add the details to your booking notes. Many tenants book the clean for the day before the landlord's walk-through, so there's time to address anything they notice before returning the keys. Remember that in Ontario a refundable key deposit must be returned when you hand back your keys.

FAQ

Good questions, answered

What deposits can an Ontario landlord collect?+

Under sections 105 and 106 of Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, a landlord can collect only a rent deposit — no more than one month's rent or one rental period — and a refundable key deposit. Damage deposits are not allowed.

Do you offer move-in cleaning?+

Yes. A move-in clean includes everything in our move-out clean — inside oven, fridge, cabinets and interior windows — and is best booked before your furniture arrives.

Will it pass my landlord's move-out inspection?+

That's what it's built for. We follow the standard agency/landlord inspection checklist and include the items most-often flagged — inside the oven, inside cabinets, interior windows and a full bathroom descale — at no extra charge. If your landlord flags anything covered by our checklist, we come back within 48 hours to re-clean it, free.

Does the home need to be empty?+

Yes — Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning is priced and scheduled around an empty property so we can clean inside every cupboard, behind appliances and along every skirting board. If the property will still have furniture, book a Deep Clean instead.

Do your cleaners bring their own supplies?+

Yes. Our cleaners bring their own supplies and equipment, so you don't need to store anything for the visit.
