What Does a Move Out Clean Include? Our Full Checklist

Updated November 2026. 4 min read

A move out clean from 4 Aces Solutions is a deep clean of the entire property, so every room is ready for the next tenant or owner. Below is the checklist our Lakeland crew works through, room by room. You can use it yourself, or hand the whole list to us.

What a move out clean includes comes down to one idea: leave nothing for the next person to wipe. Our move-out cleaning is a full interior deep clean, and this checklist shows how it breaks down. Use it as your own to-do list, or book us to take it all off your hands.

Kitchen

Appliances

Kitchen and appliance cleaning is on the list, including the inside of appliances, so the next tenant opens clean doors.

Cabinets

We wipe down inside the cabinets and sanitize the kitchen as part of the same visit.

Bathrooms

Scrubbed and Sanitized

Bathrooms are scrubbed and sanitized, so the next household starts with a bath that is ready to use.

Every Room

Baseboards

Baseboards are wiped down throughout the property.

Blinds and Vents

Blinds and vents are cleaned, which clears the dust that builds up over a tenancy.

Window Sills and Tracks

Window sills and tracks are cleaned, so dust and grit do not build up.

Floors

Mopped and Vacuumed

Floors are mopped and vacuumed, finishing the job.

Access and Handoff

Secured When We Leave

You do not need to be present. Just give us access and we lock up behind us.

Who Uses This Checklist

Tenants moving out use it to leave a clean unit. Landlords and property managers use it as the standard they expect between tenants. Realtors use it before a listing, and new owners use it to start fresh in a place they just bought. Our service is also available as a move-in clean, for anyone taking over a new space.

Doing It Yourself or Handing It Over

If you clean on your own, work through the rooms above in order and leave floors for last, so you do not walk over finished work. If you would rather have your time back, our crew handles the whole list. We bring all supplies and equipment, and you can be anywhere else while we work.

How Long It Takes

A comprehensive move-out clean typically takes between 4 and 8 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. We bring all cleaning supplies and equipment, so there is nothing to buy or return. Satisfaction is guaranteed, and the job is not finished until you are completely happy. Ask for a free, no-obligation quote with the address and move-out date, and we will confirm the visit and what it covers.

Why a Checklist Helps Landlords and Tenants

A written list ends arguments. The tenant knows what to expect, the landlord knows what counts as done, and a crew like ours can work straight down it. When a unit has to turn quickly, that clarity saves hours. It also means the next tenant opens the door to a unit that is ready.

If you are the tenant, a professional clean can also be a simple way to leave the place the way you want to be remembered. If you are the landlord, it is one fewer thing to inspect.

Things Left Behind? We Haul Those Too

A checklist only helps if the unit is empty. If furniture, bags or old appliances remain, our junk removal crew clears them first, and the same team then cleans. Property managers can see our property managers page for turnover work, including paint, floors and repairs.
