Move-in and move-out cleaning is designed to get the property properly cleaned before a new occupant moves in or before the keys are handed back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The service covers the main living areas, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and other accessible areas, with additional cleaning available where required.<\/p>\n<h2>Move In Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A move-in clean gives you a fresh starting point before bringing in your furniture, belongings and household items.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It is suitable for:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>New homeowners<\/li>\n<li>Tenants moving into a rental<\/li>\n<li>Apartments and flats<\/li>\n<li>Townhouses<\/li>\n<li>Houses<\/li>\n<li>Newly purchased properties<\/li>\n<li>Rental properties between occupants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The property is cleaned before occupation so that you can move into a space that is clean, presentable and ready to use.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Included in a Move In Clean?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Countertops and work surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Sink and taps<\/li>\n<li>Cupboard fronts<\/li>\n<li>Splashbacks<\/li>\n<li>Stovetop<\/li>\n<li>Accessible kitchen surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Floors<\/li>\n<li>Normal household waste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Bathrooms and Toilets<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Toilets and surrounding areas<\/li>\n<li>Basins and taps<\/li>\n<li>Showers and baths<\/li>\n<li>Mirrors<\/li>\n<li>Accessible surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Floors<\/li>\n<li>Normal waste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Bedrooms and Living Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Dusting and wiping accessible surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Doors and handles<\/li>\n<li>Light switches<\/li>\n<li>Vacuuming carpets and rugs<\/li>\n<li>Sweeping and mopping hard floors<\/li>\n<li>General tidying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Where the property is empty, cleaning can generally be carried out more efficiently because furniture and personal belongings do not restrict access.<\/p>\n<h2>Move Out Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Move-out cleaning is intended for tenants, homeowners and landlords who need a property cleaned before handover, inspection, sale or the arrival of the next occupant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It can be used when:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Moving out of a rental<\/li>\n<li>Returning keys to a landlord or agent<\/li>\n<li>Preparing a property for inspection<\/li>\n<li>Preparing a home for sale<\/li>\n<li>Preparing a rental for its next tenant<\/li>\n<li>Vacating an apartment, townhouse or house<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The aim is to leave the property clean and presentable, rather than leaving the incoming occupant or landlord with the responsibility of dealing with routine cleaning.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the Difference Between Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The cleaning areas can be similar, but the purpose is different.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Move in cleaning:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe property is cleaned before you occupy it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Move out cleaning:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe property is cleaned after you have removed your belongings and before the property is handed back, inspected, sold or occupied by someone else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you are moving out and the property has not been cleaned for some time, additional deep cleaning may be recommended.<\/p>\n<h2>Empty Property Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Cleaning an empty property can be particularly useful because floors, cupboards, walls and other accessible areas are easier to reach without furniture and belongings in the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you have already moved everything out, tell us when booking. This helps us understand the condition and accessibility of the property.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Not Normally Included?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Move-in and move-out cleaning covers standard cleaning unless additional work is specifically requested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The following are not normally included in the standard service:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Carpet deep cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Upholstery cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Mattress deep cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Curtain or rug cleaning<\/li>\n<li>High-pressure cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Gutter

specialised waste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These services can be requested separately where available.<\/p>\n<h2>Optional Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Add-Ons<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Additional services can be added depending on the property and what needs to be done.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Add-on service<\/th>\n<th>Price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inside oven<\/td>\n<td>R___<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inside refrigerator<\/td>\n<td>R___<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inside

class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you need a specialist service such as carpet, upholstery, mattress, gutter, pressure or post-construction cleaning, this can be discussed separately.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Does Move-In or Move-Out Cleaning Cost?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Pricing is based on the size of the property and the amount of cleaning required.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Property size<\/th>\n<th>Starting price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Bedroom<\/td>\n<td>R___<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Bedrooms<\/td>\n<td>R___<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3

final price may depend on:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Number of bathrooms<\/li>\n<li>Property size<\/li>\n<li>Condition of the property<\/li>\n<li>Whether the property is empty or furnished<\/li>\n<li>Amount of accumulated dirt or grime<\/li>\n<li>Additional cleaning requested<\/li>\n<li>Accessibility<\/li>\n<li>Specialist cleaning requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For an accurate price, provide the property location, size and what needs attention.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should I Tell You When Booking?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">To help us understand the job before booking, provide:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Property location<\/li>\n<li>House, apartment, flat or townhouse<\/li>\n<li>Number of bedrooms<\/li>\n<li>Number of bathrooms<\/li>\n<li>Whether the property is empty or occupied<\/li>\n<li>Whether it is a move-in or move-out clean<\/li>\n<li>Current condition of the property<\/li>\n<li>Any areas requiring extra attention<\/li>\n<li>Any additional services required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Photos can also help where the condition of the property is difficult to describe.<\/p>\n<h2>What If the Property Is Very Dirty?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A property that has accumulated excessive dirt, grease, stains, construction residue or neglected areas may require more than a standard move-in or move-out clean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In these situations, additional cleaning time or a separate deep-cleaning service may be required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The scope should be established before the work starts so there is a clear understanding of what the standard service covers and what additional work may cost.<\/p>\n<h2>Move-Out Cleaning for Rental Properties<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you are leaving a rental property, cleaning can form part of preparing the property for the landlord or rental agent&#8217;s inspection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A move-out clean can help with the general presentation of:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Kitchens<\/li>\n<li>Bathrooms<\/li>\n<li>Bedrooms<\/li>\n<li>Living areas<\/li>\n<li>Floors<\/li>\n<li>Accessible surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Doors and handles<\/li>\n<li>Other agreed areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Cleaning does not guarantee that a rental deposit will be refunded, as deductions may depend on damage, maintenance issues, the lease agreement and the landlord or agent&#8217;s inspection.<\/p>\n<h2>Move-In Cleaning for New Homes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A new property may look clean but still require attention before occupation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A move-in clean can be arranged before furniture and belongings are brought into the property, making it easier to clean accessible floors, surfaces, kitchens and bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is particularly useful when taking occupation of a property that has previously been lived in.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is move-out cleaning the same as deep cleaning?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Not necessarily. Move-out cleaning focuses on preparing the property for handover, while deep cleaning involves more detailed cleaning of accumulated dirt and neglected areas. A move-out property may require both.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I book a move-in clean before I receive the keys?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This depends on whether access to the property has been arranged. The cleaning can be scheduled once suitable access is available.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you clean an empty house?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Yes. An empty property can be cleaned before occupation or after belongings have been removed.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I add oven or cupboard cleaning?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Yes. These can be requested as additional services and priced separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you clean carpets during a move-out clean?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Standard move-in\/move-out cleaning does not include carpet deep cleaning. Carpet cleaning can be requested separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you clean windows?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Accessible window cleaning can be requested as an add-on. High-level or difficult-to-access windows may require a separate assessment.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I book a move-out clean for a rental?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Yes. Move-out cleaning is commonly used when preparing a rental property for inspection and handover.<\/p>\n<h3>What if the property needs more cleaning than expected?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If the condition requires substantially more work than the agreed standard scope, additional cleaning time or specialist cleaning may be required. This should be discussed before proceeding with additional work.<\/p>\n<h2>Book Move-In or Move-Out Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Whether you are moving into a new home or preparing a property for handover, provide the property size, location and cleaning requirements so the appropriate service can be arranged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Moving in?<\/strong> Start with a clean property before unpacking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Moving out?<\/strong> Leave the property clean and ready for its next stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Juspropa to arrange your move-in or move-out cleaning service.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8557\" data-end=\"8594\"><span class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"8557\" data-content-reference-end=\"8635\"><span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.juspropa.com\/za\/terms-conditions\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terms and Conditions Apply<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Move In and Move Out Cleaning Services Moving into a new home or leaving a property?
