Why book a move-in clean?
Moving into a new home is exciting, but the property is rarely as clean as you would like. Even if the previous occupant had a professional clean done, the property may have been empty for days or weeks — dust settles, cobwebs form, and areas that looked clean under artificial lighting reveal issues in daylight.
A move-in clean gives you a genuinely fresh start. We clean the entire property before your furniture arrives, so you can unpack into a home that smells clean, looks spotless, and feels properly hygienic. It is much easier (and more effective) to clean an empty property than one full of boxes.
This is especially popular with families moving to Derby, people buying their first home, and anyone renting a new property who wants peace of mind that it is truly clean before they settle in.

Pro tip
Book your move-in clean for the day after you get the keys but before the removals van arrives. An empty property takes half the time to clean compared to a furnished one.

Common questions about move-in cleaning
What is the difference between move-in cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning?
End of tenancy cleaning is done when you move OUT, focused on meeting inventory standards for deposit return. Move-in cleaning is done when you move INTO a new property, ensuring it is genuinely clean and hygienic before you unpack.
Why would I need move-in cleaning if the previous tenant had an end of tenancy clean?
End of tenancy cleans focus on passing inventory checks, which does not always mean the property is clean to a standard you would want to live in. There may be dust from an empty period, cobwebs that formed after cleaning, or areas the previous clean did not prioritise.
How far in advance should I book move-in cleaning?
Ideally a week or more before your move-in date. We can often accommodate shorter notice if availability allows. The best time to clean is after you get the keys but before furniture arrives.
Can you clean a newly built property?
Yes. New builds often have construction dust, paint residue, and adhesive marks that need professional cleaning. This falls between our move-in and after builders cleaning services — call us and we will advise on the best approach.
Do you clean inside cupboards and wardrobes?
Yes, we clean inside all cupboards, wardrobes, and drawers as standard during a move-in clean. These often harbour dust and debris from previous occupants.
