The move-in / move-out clean is designed for empty homes going through a transition — tenants leaving, new buyers moving in, or landlords turning over a unit. With furniture out of the way, your cleaner gets inside every cabinet and drawer, behind every appliance, and into every baseboard and blind. Most empty homes are completed in 5–7 hours. Pricing starts at $297 CAD; your final price with HST is shown before you confirm, with no hidden fees.Documentation Index
