Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Services
Leave the Cleaning Behind. Start Fresh Somewhere New.
Moving comes with enough things to think about. Whether you're preparing to hand over the keys or getting ready to make a new place your own, the last thing you need is another cleaning list.
D's Dust Bunnies handles the deep cleaning that comes with moving, from kitchen cabinets and refrigerator interiors to bathrooms, baseboards, and floors. Our experienced teams help homeowners, renters, and property managers get homes ready for whatever comes next.
You take care of the move. We'll take care of the mess.
The Move-In and Move-Out Checklist
What's Included in Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning
An Empty Home Gives Us Room to Get Into Everything.
Once the furniture is gone and the cabinets are empty, you start noticing things that were easy to miss before. Dust along the baseboards, crumbs in the drawers, buildup around appliances, and all those corners that haven't seen daylight in years.
That's where a move-in or move-out deep cleaning makes a difference.
Our teams can reach areas that aren't always accessible during regular housekeeping, giving kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, and other rooms the thorough cleaning they need before the next occupants arrive.
Here's what our cleaning covers, room by room.

After the Updates
Cleaning After Remodeling and New Construction
The Work Is Done. Let's Make It Shine.
New flooring, freshly painted walls, remodeled kitchens, or even a brand-new home. Once the contractors finish, there's often one last job before the space is ready to enjoy.
D's Dust Bunnies helps clean up the fine dust, sawdust, residue, and everyday mess left behind after renovations and construction. Our teams clean surfaces, cabinets, baseboards, interior windows, and floors, giving all that beautiful new work a chance to shine.
Whether you're preparing a remodeled home for showings, getting a rental ready for its next tenants, or putting the finishing touches on a newly built property, we'll help get it looking its best.
The construction is finished. We'll handle the final clean.
Who We Help
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning for Homeowners, Renters, Realtors and Landlords
Different Moves. One Less Thing to Worry About.
Not every move looks the same. Some people are leaving a home they've lived in for years. Others are getting the keys to their very first place. And for landlords and property managers, preparing a property for new occupants is simply part of keeping things moving.
Whatever brings you to us, we'll help get the property clean and ready for its next chapter.
Moving Out
The moving truck is loaded, the closets are empty, and you're ready to hand over the keys. Our move-out cleaning tackles the dust, buildup, and forgotten areas left behind so you can focus on getting settled somewhere new.
Moving In
There's nothing quite like walking into a new home that's already been thoroughly cleaned. From the kitchen cabinets to the bathroom fixtures, we'll take care of the cleaning before you start unpacking and making the place your own.
Landlords and Property Managers
Between tenants, there's often a lot to coordinate. Our teams help prepare vacant homes and apartments for their next occupants, cleaning kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and other areas throughout the property.
We also work with real estate professionals arranging cleaning for sellers and buyers. Whether you're booking for yourself, a tenant, or a client, our office team can help you discuss the details.

Straight From Our Customers
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Reviews
Sometimes the Best Part Is Having One Less Thing to Do.
Getting ready to move, or preparing a home for someone new, comes with plenty of details. Having a cleaning team take care of the property can make that transition a lot easier.
Here's what one of our customers shared about her experience with D's Dust Bunnies.
“Thank you for making our move out so much easier and less stressful. Your team made sure every inch was cleaned and ready for our move out inspection. We also had them come before bringing our baby home from the hospital over the summer and they did a great job helping this pregnant mama relax and not worry about any cleaning. Highly recommend!”

Questions
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Questions
A Few Things Worth Knowing Before Moving Day.
What's Included in a Move-Out Cleaning?
Our move-out cleaning covers the rooms and surfaces throughout an empty property, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, floors, baseboards, and interior windows.
We also clean inside cabinets, drawers, and refrigerators. Interior oven cleaning is available for an additional charge.
See the full checklist above for specific tasks.
What's Included in a Move-In Cleaning?
Move-in cleaning follows the same thorough cleaning process. We'll clean the kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces, floors, cabinets, drawers, and refrigerator interior before you settle into your new home.
It's an opportunity to get everything fresh before the furniture and boxes arrive.
Should the Property Be Empty Before Cleaning?
Ideally, yes. An empty property allows our teams to access cabinets, drawers, floors, and areas that might otherwise be blocked by furniture or belongings.
If some items will still be in the home, let our office know when scheduling so we can discuss what needs to be cleaned.
How Far in Advance Should I Schedule Cleaning?
Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. That gives us the best opportunity to discuss your preferred schedule and coordinate the cleaning around your move.
Availability depends on our existing schedule.
Do I Need to Be There During the Cleaning?
No. Many customers provide a key or entry code so our team can access the property while they're handling other parts of their move.
We'll discuss access arrangements when scheduling.
Do You Clean After Remodeling or Renovations?
Yes! We provide final cleaning after home improvements, renovations, and some new-construction projects.
Our teams tackle the dust, sawdust, residue, and surface cleaning that remain once the major work is finished.
For more information, visit our Post-Renovation and New Construction Cleaning page.
Can My Realtor Arrange the Cleaning?
Absolutely. We work with real estate professionals who arrange move-in and move-out cleaning for sellers and buyers.
Your realtor can contact our office to discuss the property and cleaning needs.
Do You Clean Rental Properties Between Tenants?
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers to help get vacant homes and apartments cleaned before new occupants arrive.
Is Cleaning Inside the Oven Included?
Interior oven cleaning is available for an additional charge.
Interior refrigerator cleaning is included with move-in and move-out cleaning.
Let us know if you'd like the oven added when requesting your estimate.
Do You Bring Your Own Cleaning Supplies?
Yes. Our cleaning teams arrive with their own supplies and equipment.
How Much Does Move-In or Move-Out Cleaning Cost?
The cost depends on the size and condition of the property, the cleaning required, and any additional services requested.
Contact our office for a free estimate. We'll discuss the property and provide an estimate over the phone.
What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?
We accept cash, checks, and Venmo. Our office team can explain the payment arrangements when scheduling.
Do I Need to Sign a Long-Term Contract?
