Move-In Cleaning

A clean start before furniture arrives, when every cabinet, closet and floor is still reachable.

What move-in cleaning actually is

The value of move-in cleaning is timing. An empty house is the only moment every cabinet interior, closet floor, and inch of baseboard is reachable without moving anything — which is why it costs less to do well then than at any point afterwards.
