What it is
Move-in/move-out cleaning is a comprehensive, top-to-bottom interior clean of a vacant home — covering the inside of appliances, cabinets, drawers, baseboards, fixtures, grout, and every hard surface — so the property meets lease-turnover, sale, or new-occupancy standards. Maid VIP connects residents and property owners with vetted, background-checked cleaning professionals who deliver this forensic-level clean against an itemized, verified checklist.

The Difference
Forensic Move-Out Clean vs. Standard Gig-Worker Clean
A move-out clean is graded at a walkthrough — not by general tidiness. Here is how a vetted Maid VIP turnover compares to a typical app-assigned, on-demand clean.
| Standard / Criterion | Maid VIP Forensic Move-Out Vetted & Accountable | Standard Gig-Worker Clean App-Assigned & On-Demand |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaner vetting | In-person interview, references & background check | Anonymous, often unverified assignment |
| Inside oven, fridge & cabinets | Included as standard scope | Not included or charged as extras |
| Baseboards, frames & switch plates | Hand-detailed | Surfaces only, frequently skipped |
| Grout, tile & hard-water descaling | Included (key for inland mineral buildup) | Rarely addressed |
| Interior windows, sills & tracks | Included | Glass at best; tracks ignored |
| Written, verified turnover checklist | Itemized & signed off | None |
| Insured & bonded | Insured & bonded referrals | Typically none |
| Discretion / NDA on request | Estate-grade, available on request | Not offered |
| Re-clean guarantee & walkthrough | Included satisfaction re-clean | Case-by-case, if reachable |
| Same trusted pro for re-bookings | Continuity by request | Random reassignment |

What Clients Say
★★★★★
I came across Maid VIP while searching for house cleaning services near me and after reading all the glowing reviews about their superb home cleaning, I decided I wanted to hire them for a move out cleaning I needed for my apartment. Best decision I made! Concepcion & Clauida were quick, efficient and did a fantastic job.
★★★★★
I recently had the pleasure of working with the MAID VIP cleaning service group on a new listing of ours in the Thousand Oaks area. Although they unfortunately had a cleaner call in sick unexpectedly the day of they were able to work through it and get a team out there on the spot just a few hours later. They got the job done and the home looks absolutely phenomenal. Additionally, due to the inconvenience they were willing to give us a 10% discount which in my opinion is a reflection of incredible customer service. I will work with them again.
★★★★★
The maids worked very hard during our move in cleaning. Unfortunately, the movers had arrived late which threw off the timing of our home cleaning, but Jorge and Daisy were very accommodating while dealing with moving around the last of our packing. Great house cleaning service and very professional cleaners. We are most grateful and will use them again.

Questions
Move-Out Cleaning FAQ
How much does move-out cleaning cost?
Move-out cleaning is quote-based because price depends on the home's square footage, number of bathrooms, and overall condition. After a short description of your property and move date, you receive a fixed quote before any work is scheduled.
How far in advance should I book a move-out clean?
Book 3 to 7 days ahead so the clean can be scheduled after furniture is removed and before your final walkthrough or new tenant's move-in. During peak month-end turnover, earlier is better.
Does it include inside the oven, refrigerator, and cabinets?
Yes. A forensic move-out clean covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, and all cabinets and drawers, plus baseboards, fixtures, grout, and interior window tracks — the areas a standard recurring clean usually skips.
Will it help me get my security deposit back?
A thorough move-out clean removes one of the most common reasons landlords withhold deposits — cleanliness deductions. It can't guarantee a full refund, since that also depends on your lease terms and any damage, but it directly addresses the cleaning standard most leases require.
Are the cleaners vetted and background-checked?
Maid VIP is a referral agency. We interview, reference-check, and background-screen the independent professionals we refer, and we can arrange estate-grade discretion or an NDA on request for high-profile properties.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve four hubs across the Los Angeles area: Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Beverly Hills, and Woodland Hills, plus the surrounding Conejo Valley, Westside, and West San Fernando Valley neighborhoods.
