The Ultimate Move-Out Cleaning Checklist

Moving out is stressful enough without worrying about cleaning. Whether you're trying to get your security deposit back or just want to leave on good terms, a thorough move-out cleaning is essential.

Start with the kitchen: clean inside all appliances including the oven, refrigerator, and microwave. Wipe down all cabinets inside and out. Clean countertops, backsplash, and sink until they shine.

Bathrooms need special attention: scrub the shower, tub, and toilet. Clean mirrors, vanity, and all fixtures. Don't forget to clean inside medicine cabinets and under the sink.

For every room: dust all surfaces, clean windows and blinds, wipe light switches and door handles, clean baseboards, and vacuum or mop all floors. Patch any nail holes if required by your lease.
