Move-In Cleaning Services in Seattle
Clean the space when it is completely empty — before boxes arrive
The dirty little secret about moving is this: the new place you bought/rented was likely way more dirty than the old one. We help fix that. At Divine Maids, we provide complete Seattle area move-in cleaning services to give you a sparkling clean home from head-to-toe after you have had a moment to catch your breath. Reserve a spot by calling us today at (206) 929-5990.
Why Seattle Movers Book a Deep Clean Before Unpacking
Empty rooms are the only chance you get at a truly thorough clean
You don’t have access to many areas of your home once furniture arrives and your closets are full. All surfaces and spaces of an uncluttered house can be thoroughly cleaned by hand while the majority of your belongings still fit inside a box. That’s why hiring professionals to do a comprehensive cleaning of all surfaces of your home prior to receiving shipments makes a lot more sense. Property management companies always save our phone number for this reason.
Who We Clean for In Seattle Neighborhoods
From Belltown towers to Ballard bungalows and everything inbetween
We’re called to studios a short walk from Pike Place Market to condos with a view of the Space Needle. From craftsman houses in Wallingford and Green Lake, to townhomes in Columbia City and apartments near the University of Washington campus. What types of buildings do you work in? High-rise buildings downtown with strict elevator reservations, walk-ups in Capitol Hill with no loading zone, and detached homes in West Seattle where parking means planning ahead. We’ve cleaned homes galore in Fremont, Queen Anne, Beacon Hill, Magnolia and Northgate.
Who Calls You for Move-In Cleaning
Real Seattle situations
We receive phone calls and emails for move-in cleaning from all walks of Seattle life: tech workers relocating for their jobs in South Lake Union, nurses and residents starting their rotations at Harborview and Swedish, grad students landing near campus, airline crews basing out of Sea-Tac, and retirees downsizing from Bellevue into a walkable condo. We get military families transferring through Joint Base Lewis-McChord, couples buying their first house after years of renting, as well as landlords, real estate agents and building managers looking to get a unit turned around quicker. An apartment turnover clean helps get it ready faster between tenants. An apartment move-in cleaning done right can save all parties a lot of arguments over deposits later.
What Every Move-In Clean Covers
A thorough move-in cleaning checklist includes:
Kitchens: inside and out of cabinets and drawers, on and under countertops and backsplashes, and on and inside sinks and appliances (the exterior of your stove and door seal of your fridge, for example).
Bathrooms: toilets, tubs, showers, grout, tile, mirrors, vanities, cabinets (inside and out).
Everywhere else: floors (vacuuming and mopping), baseboards, closet shelving, light switches, door handles, window sills, vent covers, and cobwebs.
All our house cleaners are insured and bonded, and all have passed background checks. When you work with Divine Maids in Seattle, you’ll get an upfront flat-rate quote — no surprise line items when we’re done.

Move-In Cleaning FAQs
Quick answers before you schedule
When Should I Book a Move-In Cleaning?
We typically recommend scheduling at least two weeks out, although we do our best to accommodate those who need a last-minute clean. Weekends at the end of the month are always the first to fill up.
Should You Schedule Move-In Cleaning Before Or After Moving In?
We recommend scheduling your move-in cleaning before your movers arrive. It’s easier for the cleaning team to do their job in an empty home.
How Much Is A Move-In Cleaning?
Cleaning costs vary depending on the size and condition of your home. It’ll cost much less to clean a 1 bedroom apartment than a 4 bedroom house.
Do I Need To Be Present While You Clean?
Not at all! Most clients leave us with access instructions and come back when we’re done. What Supplies Do You Provide? We bring everything we need to do the job.
Do You Clean Carpets?
We’ll definitely vacuum, but deep carpet extraction is an add-on service. Give us a call today at (206) 929-5990!
