Move-Out and Move-In Cleaning β Inspection-Ready Results
Whether you're moving out and want your security deposit back, moving into a new place that needs a fresh start, or you're a realtor staging a property for showings β Klova's move-out cleaning service delivers the inspection-ready results that ordinary deep cleans can't match.
This is the most thorough type of clean we offer. We assume nothing will be left behind β no furniture to work around, no cabinets full of dishes, no closets to skip. Just the bare bones of a home that needs to look brand new for whoever shows up next.
We work with renters, homeowners selling, landlords preparing units for new tenants, and realtors getting properties ready for showings. We've seen what passes inspection and what doesn't. Our checklist reflects that.

Need a Move-Out Clean Fast?
We accommodate tight real estate and rental timelines. Most bookings within 24-72 hours.
How Much Does a Move-Out Clean Cost?
Move-out cleans are priced based on home size and condition. They typically run 50-100% more than a standard clean because of the additional time required for empty cabinets, appliances, and detail work.
Heavy soiling or pet damage may add 25-40%. Empty homes price lower than furnished homes because we can access more areas.
Why Renters Choose Klova for Move-Out Cleans

- We follow Ontario landlord-tenant cleaning standards β what's reasonable wear-and-tear vs. what landlords can legally deduct for
- Detailed receipts β we provide an itemized invoice showing exactly what was cleaned, useful if there's a deposit dispute
