Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning in Columbia
Move-in and move-out cleaning is a deeper job than a regular tidy-up. Crews clean an empty (or nearly empty) property from top to bottom: inside cabinets and drawers, inside the oven and fridge, baseboards, window sills and tracks, light fixtures, closet shelving, and every bathroom surface including grout and behind the toilet. Because there's no furniture in the way, most companies can also get to spots that never get touched during routine cleaning. In Irmo, this service gets booked heavily around lease turnover dates and closings, so scheduling a week or two ahead matters if you want your pick of crews.
We currently track 8 businesses in this category. When you're comparing them, look for a written scope of what's included (a lot of price disputes come from vague checklists), whether they bring their own supplies and a vacuum, how they handle appliance interiors and cabinet fronts, and whether they offer any kind of satisfaction guarantee if a landlord or new owner flags something during final walkthrough. Insurance and a consistent crew (versus a different gig worker every time) are also worth asking about directly.
