The Ultimate Checklist for Pre-Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning in Texas

Updated: Dec 3



Pre-Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning

Moving can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially when it comes to cleaning the space you’re leaving behind or preparing your new home for a fresh start. That’s why we at Texas Cleaning Services are here to guide you with the ultimate pre-move-in and move-out cleaning checklist. Whether you’re a tenant wanting your deposit back or a homeowner ensuring a spotless welcome for new residents, this checklist has you covered!


1. Gather Your Cleaning Supplies

Before diving into the cleaning process, make sure you have the essentials:

  • All-purpose cleaner

  • Disinfectant spray

  • Glass cleaner

  • Mop and bucket

  • Vacuum and broom

  • Microfiber cloths and sponges

  • Garbage bags

  • Rubber gloves

  • Scrubbing brushes


Pro Tip: At Texas Cleaning Services, we use eco-friendly products to ensure a clean and safe environment for your family and pets.


2. Tackle the Kitchen First

The kitchen is one of the most used (and dirtiest) areas of any home. Here’s what to focus on:

  • Clean and disinfect all countertops and sinks.

  • Wipe down cabinets, inside and out.

  • Remove any grease or food stains from the stove, oven, and microwave.

  • Defrost and clean out the refrigerator.

  • Sweep and mop the floors.


3. Focus on Bathrooms

Nobody wants to move into a home with a less-than-spotless bathroom. Ensure these steps are completed:

  • Scrub and disinfect the toilet, shower, and sink.

  • Wipe down mirrors and fixtures.

  • Remove any soap scum or mildew from tiles.

  • Clean and organize cabinets.

  • Mop the floors and sanitize them thoroughly.


4. Refresh the Living Areas

The living and bedroom spaces need a thorough refresh to create a welcoming environment:

  • Dust all surfaces, including shelves, ceiling fans, and baseboards.

  • Clean windows and wipe down window sills.

  • Vacuum carpets or mop hardwood floors.

  • Check for cobwebs in corners and remove them.


5. Don’t Forget the Little Things

Sometimes, it’s the small details that make all the difference:

  • Replace any burned-out lightbulbs.

  • Ensure air vents are dust-free.

  • Check closets and storage areas for forgotten items or debris.

  • Take out all trash and leave bins clean.


6. Final Touches

Once the heavy lifting is done, give the space a last walk-through:

  • Double-check all areas for missed spots.

  • Open windows for ventilation and a fresh smell.

  • Add an air freshener or scented diffuser for an extra touch.
