Move-in and move-out cleaning in Indianapolis typically costs $250 to $700, depending on home size and whether the space is empty or still furnished. Whether you're searching for empty house cleaning in Indianapolis, vacant home cleaning, or just typed "move out cleaning near me" into Google, this is that service.
We clean vacant homes and apartments top to bottom: kitchens, bathrooms, closets, baseboards, and every surface a landlord, buyer, or new tenant will actually check — so you get your security deposit back, hand off a listing that shows well, or walk into a new place that's already spotless.
"We had less than 48 hours between our old lease ending and our new place being ready. They cleaned both in the same week and we got our full deposit back — no arguments from the landlord."
Move-in/move-out cleaning is a top-to-bottom, deep-level cleaning service done in an empty or nearly-empty home or apartment: either by a tenant before handing back the keys (to protect a security deposit), or by a new resident before moving belongings into a fresh space.
Unlike a regular cleaning, it goes into cabinet interiors, drawers, closets, baseboards, and appliance interiors and exteriors — because with no furniture in the way, cleaners can reach every corner a normal visit would work around. Depending on which side of the move you're on, you'll also hear this called end of lease cleaning, pre-move cleaning, post-move cleaning, or simply security deposit cleaning — it's the same job under a different name.
A top move in move out cleaning service in Indianapolis comes down to four things: a checklist you can actually see before you book, pricing that's published instead of hidden behind "call for a quote," cleaners who are licensed, insured, and background-checked, and a company that treats move-out cleaning and move-in cleaning as two different jobs — not one generic visit.
Before reviews or reputation, check these first:
Moving only goes one of two directions, and each one has a different goal. We treat them as related but distinct services, and price and scope each one accordingly — which is more than most companies bother to explain.
Before your boxes come in, we clean the empty home: cabinets, drawers, closets, baseboards, and every surface — so you're unpacking into a place that's actually clean, not just recently vacated. Our move in cleaning Indianapolis clients book this as new home cleaning before moving in, for new-construction homes, resale purchases, and rentals alike.
Whether you're a tenant trying to protect a security deposit, or a homeowner preparing a home for its next owner, move out cleaning Indianapolis covers the same ground a landlord walkthrough or buyer's final inspection actually looks at — inside appliances, inside cabinets, baseboards, and floors.
The rooms and tasks overlap almost completely; what changes is the starting condition and the stakes. Move-out cleaning is judged against a lease or sale agreement, often with money on the line. Move-in cleaning has no one checking your work — just you, walking into a home you'd rather not have to clean yourself on day one.
We scope the visit differently depending on which situation applies to you. Telling us which one you are when you book helps us prioritize the right rooms first.
If your lease requires the unit be returned "as clean as move-in condition," this is exactly what we clean to — appliance interiors, baseboards, and bathroom fixtures included, since those are the items most landlords actually inspect.
Buyers notice a clean, empty home the second they walk in. We build our schedule around your closing date, so the last impression you leave isn't dust on the windowsills.
Turnaround speed is the whole job. Property managers we work with regularly set up standing turnover schedules, so a unit is never sitting empty and uncleaned longer than it needs to.
A vacant listing photographs and shows better when it's freshly cleaned, and tends to sit on the market for less time because of it. Tell us your showing schedule and we'll coordinate around it directly.
The first night in your new place shouldn't start with wiping down someone else's dust. We make sure you're unpacking into a genuinely clean home.
Every move cleaning follows the same room-by-room list below — not a locked PDF you have to trade an email for, and not a vague "we clean everything" promise.
+ Add-on: interior oven, interior fridge, interior dishwasher
In the interest of honest pricing, these stay separate rather than automatically bundled into every visit. Ask for any of these when you book.
Most move in move out cleaning jobs run $250 to $450 for homes under 2,000 sq ft, and $450 to $700+ for larger homes. Empty homes typically price lower since there's nothing to work around.
| Home Size | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Under 1,000 sq ft | $250 – $350 |
| 1,000 – 2,000 sq ft | $350 – $500 |
| 2,000 – 3,000 sq ft | $500 – $650 |
| 3,000+ sq ft | $650 – $900+ |
Square footage, whether the home is empty or still furnished, how many bathrooms and kitchens are involved, and which add-ons (interior appliances, windows, carpets) you request.
No cleaning company can guarantee your security deposit back — that decision belongs to your landlord, based on your lease and any damage beyond normal wear. What a professional move out cleaning does is remove the single biggest reason deposits get withheld: cleanliness. We can't control the walls or the carpet stains that were already there, but we can make sure cleanliness is never the reason you lose money.
We'll tell you honestly which tier your lease or sale actually requires instead of upselling you into the biggest package by default.
Surfaces, floors, bathrooms, and kitchen exteriors — the essentials most leases require.
Everything in Standard, plus oven, fridge, and cabinet interiors — what most landlords actually check.
The full works — interior windows, wall washing, and carpet cleaning included.
Tell us your home's size, whether it's furnished or empty, and your move date — for an accurate move out cleaning cost upfront.
We work around closing dates, lease end dates, and move-in days — including tight turnarounds when property managers need a unit ready fast.
Our team works room by room through the full checklist, focusing first on whatever your lease, sale, or landlord specifically requires.
Before we leave, we do our own walkthrough so the home is ready for yours — or your landlord's, or your buyer's.
Every cleaner completes a background check before their first solo visit and trains alongside a senior cleaner for at least two full jobs before working unsupervised — not a same-week hire handed a mop and an address.
The price we quote over the phone is confirmed in writing before the visit starts, and it's the number on your final invoice — not a "starting at" figure that grows once we're already inside.
If your landlord, buyer, or new-home walkthrough flags anything we missed, call within 24 hours and we'll send someone back to fix it at no charge — no argument, no "that wasn't part of the package" conversation.
If your closing got moved up or you forgot to book a move-out clean until the day before — call us. We handle same day move out cleaning in Indianapolis when our schedule allows, and we'll tell you honestly and immediately whether we can fit your date rather than leaving you guessing.
If your situation isn't quite a move-out or move-in — maybe just a home that's fallen behind, a rental turnover, or fresh construction dust — one of these related services probably fits better.
Not moving, but the home just needs a full reset? Same detail level without the move-specific scope.
Smaller footprint, same thoroughness — priced accordingly for apartment move out cleaning and empty apartment cleaning alike.
Clears out drywall dust and construction debris before you move in — common for new-build buyers.
We provide move in move out cleaning throughout Indianapolis, Marion County, and Central Indiana.
Most jobs run $250 to $700 depending on home size and whether the space is furnished or empty. See the pricing table above for a size-based breakdown.
It depends entirely on the lease and management company — some handle it, others expect the outgoing tenant to. When in doubt, ask your leasing office directly.
Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, and living areas — floors, baseboards, and surfaces throughout, with appliance interiors and windows available as add-ons.
Usually yes — per most Indiana lease agreements you're generally expected to return the unit in the same clean condition it was in when you moved in.
No — that decision is your landlord's based on your lease and any damage. Cleaning removes cleanliness as a reason for withholding it, which is the most common one.
The tasks overlap almost completely; what differs is the stakes — move-out is judged against a lease or sale, move-in has no one checking but you.
Carpet shampooing is available as an add-on rather than automatically included in a standard visit.
Yes — we regularly coordinate move-out and move-in cleanings back-to-back for clients moving within the same week.
Sometimes, depending on scheduling — call, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can fit your date.
Yes — we offer eco-friendly, pet-safe products on request at no extra charge.
Not much is needed on your end — just confirm the home is empty or nearly empty, and let us know about any specific problem areas so we can prioritize them.
A full top-to-bottom clean of every room, ready before your final walkthrough — and a home that's genuinely ready for its next occupant, not just tidied up for a quick look.
Look for the same four things that make any move out cleaning company worth hiring: a visible checklist, published pricing, background-checked cleaners, and a clear answer on whether they treat move-in and move-out as separate services. If a company won't show you pricing before you call, that's usually a sign to keep looking.
Apartment move-outs generally need less than a full house — no yard, garage, or extra bedrooms — but the same core list applies: kitchen, bathroom, closets, and baseboards throughout. See our apartment cleaning page for the apartment-specific version.
