Move-out handoff
The home is being emptied and needs a defined final cleaning before keys are returned or the property changes hands.
Cleaning for empty or transitioning homes
Move-in and move-out cleaning across Niagara Region.
Orla provides move-in and move-out cleaning for empty or nearly empty homes across Niagara Region. The service can cover kitchens, bathrooms, floors, reachable surfaces, and selected cabinet, appliance, closet, or window cleaning before belongings arrive or after they leave.
Who this service fits
When should you book move-in or move-out cleaning?
Clear access matters. A move-related clean is priced and scheduled differently from cleaning around a fully occupied household.
Move-in starting point
You want kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, floors, and accessible surfaces cleaned before belongings arrive.
Empty-property preparation
A landlord, owner, or real-estate professional needs cleaning, not repairs, hauling, staging, or restoration.
What the service covers
What is included in move-in and move-out cleaning?
Your estimate confirms whether the property is empty, which appliances and cabinets are included, and whether any condition requires photos or additional review.
- Kitchen counters, sink, backsplash, and exterior appliance surfaces
- Bathrooms, fixtures, mirrors, tubs, showers, and toilets
- Accessible interior cabinet and drawer cleaning when selected and emptied
- Vacuuming and hard-floor cleaning throughout included rooms
- Dusting of reachable ledges, trim, doors, and visible surfaces
- Closet and storage-area surfaces when empty and included
- Interior window glass where safely reachable when selected
- Final room-by-room review against the moving-clean scope
Empty-property access
Moving cleans work best when the property is cleared and ready.
Open floors, empty rooms, accessible closets, and working utilities allow the cleaning to focus on the property rather than navigating belongings or unfinished move-out work.
What makes this service different
Cleaning is not the same as property turnover management.
A clean can improve the space, but it does not replace repairs, waste removal, painting, pest control, restoration, or a landlord’s legal inspection process.
Property must be ready
Belongings, garbage, renovation material, and contractor equipment must be removed unless specifically reviewed otherwise.
Utilities and access matter
Safe water, electricity, parking, entry, and enough time before the handoff are required for the service to proceed.
Some jobs require review
Very large homes, severe condition, construction dust, or uncertain access may need photos and additional review before a price or appointment is confirmed.
Not included in the standard service
These conditions require another service, a specialist, or separate approval.
- Furniture, junk, or bulk-item removal
- Wall washing, painting, repairs, or handyman work
- Mould, pest, smoke, odour, sewage, or biohazard remediation
- Construction or renovation cleanup unless separately assessed
- Exterior windows, pressure washing, or outdoor work
- Guarantees related to landlord deposits, closing conditions, or inspection outcomes
Optional additions
Select additional work before the appointment so the estimate includes the time it needs.
- Finished basement or additional storage area
- Additional kitchen or kitchenette
- Inside emptied cabinets, drawers, and closets
- Inside refrigerator
- Inside oven
- Interior windows, tracks, and blinds where safely reachable
- Load dishwasher when suitable items and instructions are provided
- Change bed sheets with clean linens you provide
- One onsite laundry load when selected and timing permits
- Carpet deep cleaning when separately reviewed and equipment is available
Personalized cleaning prices
How much does move-in or move-out cleaning cost?
Empty homes can be easier to access but may include more cabinet, appliance, trim, and floor detail. Condition and readiness matter as much as square footage.
Property size
Total finished area, floors, stairs, bathrooms, and additional storage spaces affect duration.
Empty or occupied state
Remaining furniture and belongings can restrict access and change the work.
Condition
Heavy residue, long vacancy, pet history, and neglected bathrooms or kitchens may require photos or additional review.
Cabinets and appliances
Inside cleaning is additional scope and should be selected deliberately.
Deadline
The requested date must allow enough time for the property’s actual size, condition, access, and selected cleaning tasks.
Access and utilities
Missing water, electricity, parking, keys, or building access can prevent the job from proceeding.
