After you’ve packed and removed your belongings, you still need to clean your former residence before moving out. Fortunately, you can hire a move-out cleaning service to ease the burden for you. Before enlisting professional help, however, you'll need to address a few simple steps.

Walls & Floors

After you’ve cleared out all your belongings, you’re left to see how much wear and tear the walls and floor have withstood. It's normal to have a small spot on the carpet or holes in the wall from hanging pictures and shelves. Remove anchors from the wall and fill the holes with spackling. Then, wipe down the walls with a damp cloth to remove scuffs. Sweep or vacuum your floors to remove debris. If you’re trying to get a security deposit back, it will be worthwhile to hire a professional carpet cleaning service to steam away stains and remove odors.

Take Out the Trash

Leaving trash behind is unsafe and usually violates a lease agreement. After you’re finished removing your belongings and cleaning the residence, take out any trash that’s left. This includes all items from the wastebaskets, uneaten food, and lint from the laundry machines. Getting rid of all the trash will ensure there aren’t any pest infestations or mold growth between the time you leave and when your move-out cleaning service arrives.
