Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning in Tampa Bay

You handle the boxes and the U-Haul. We handle every cabinet, closet, and appliance so your old place passes inspection and your new place feels like home.

Moving Is Stressful Enough Without Scrubbing Floors

You are already juggling boxes, utility transfers, address changes, and a moving truck that costs by the hour. The last thing you want to do is spend four hours on your hands and knees scrubbing a house you are leaving or sanitizing one you are walking into for the first time.

Landlords in Pasco County inspect every corner. Oven racks. Cabinet shelves. The tracks on sliding closet doors. If it is not spotless, that security deposit takes a hit. And if you are moving into a new place, who knows what the previous tenant left behind? You deserve to unpack into a home that feels clean, not questionable.

Sunshine Clean & Care handles the entire job. We clean every surface the way an inspector would check it. Inside every cabinet. Inside every appliance. Every closet shelf. You focus on the move. We make sure both homes are spotless.

How Move Cleaning Works

1

Tell Us Your Move Date and Home Size

We need to know the square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether furniture will still be in the home. Empty homes are faster to clean. Furnished homes need more time for access behind and under everything.

2

We Schedule Around Your Moving Timeline

Moving out? We come in after the movers leave and before the landlord walkthrough. Moving in? We clean before your furniture arrives so every room is fresh when you start unpacking. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.

3

Full Top-to-Bottom Clean, Every Room

Our team works through the home systematically. Kitchen and bathrooms get the deepest attention. Every cabinet gets opened and wiped. Every appliance interior gets degreased. Every closet shelf gets dusted. We treat every room as if the inspector is standing behind us.

4

Walkthrough Checklist Before We Leave

We go through a printed checklist covering every area of the home. If you are present, you sign off on each room. If not, we photograph the finished result and send it to you. Nothing gets missed. Nothing is left to chance.

Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning Pricing

Move cleaning for Tampa Bay and Pasco County homes typically falls between $200 and $400. What affects the price:

Home size: a 2-bed apartment vs. a 4-bed house is a very different job
Furnished or empty: empty homes clean faster since there is nothing to work around
Condition: a well-maintained rental needs less work than a home that was not cleaned for months
Extras: garage sweeping, interior window washing, or carpet spot treatment add to the total

We quote a flat rate upfront. You will know the exact cost before we touch a single surface.

Move Cleaning Reviews

★★★★★

"I was terrified I would lose part of my deposit. The oven had two years of buildup and the bathroom grout was not great. Sunshine came in after the movers left and the landlord did not deduct a single dollar. Full deposit returned. I could not believe it."

Linda R. | Move-Out Cleaning

★★★★★

"We bought our first house in Trinity and wanted it cleaned before we brought in our furniture. The Sunshine team made it feel brand new. Every cabinet was wiped, every closet was fresh. Walking in with our boxes felt like walking into a model home."

Natalie F. | Move-In Cleaning

★★★★★

"Moving with two kids under five is chaos. Having the cleaning completely off my plate was the best decision I made during the whole process. They worked around our movers and had everything done before we even finished unloading the truck at the new place."

Rachel D. | Move-Out Cleaning

Move Cleaning FAQ

The best time is the day after your furniture is out but before your landlord walkthrough. That gives us full access to every surface without working around furniture or movers. If your timeline is tight, let us know. We can often schedule same-day or next-day service for moves in the Tampa Bay area.

For move-outs, we strongly prefer cleaning after everything is removed. We can reach every wall, every corner, and every closet floor when the home is empty. For move-ins, we clean before your furniture arrives so you are unpacking into a sanitized space. If you need us to work around furniture for either scenario, we can do that too. It just takes a bit longer.

That is one of the top reasons people book this service. A professional move-out clean addresses all the areas landlords check during walkthroughs: appliance interiors, cabinet shelves, bathroom fixtures, baseboards, and floors. While we cannot guarantee your landlord's decision, our clients consistently report getting their full deposits back after our clean.

An empty 2-bedroom apartment usually takes 3 to 4 hours. A 4-bedroom house can take 5 to 7 hours depending on condition. If the home has not been deep cleaned in a while, it is on the longer end. We give you a time estimate when we quote the job so you can coordinate with your movers and landlord.

Yes. Garage sweeping and cobweb removal are included in our move clean. If the garage needs more intensive work (oil stain treatment, wall wiping, or shelf cleaning), we can add that on for an additional charge. Just let us know when you request your quote and we will factor it in.
