What a move-out clean includes in an empty unit
An empty unit gets the deepest clean we offer, because every surface is finally reachable.
Inside the fridge, oven, microwave and dishwasher
The appliances landlords open first, and the ones most often missed when tenants clean themselves.
Inside cabinets, drawers and closets
Wiped out end to end, including the shelving and the tracks, not just the fronts.
Bathrooms detailed and descaled
Grout, tile, shower glass, fixtures and toilets brought back to a state that passes inspection.
Window tracks, sills and interior glass
The grit in the tracks is a standard line on most landlord checklists.
Walls spot-cleaned and switch plates wiped
Marks and scuffs spot-cleaned where the finish allows it, switch plates and handles wiped down.
Move-out, end of tenancy, end of lease - the same clean
The wording changes by country and by who is booking. The scope does not.
What tenants book it for
To return the unit at a standard that avoids a landlord damage claim at the LTB, with photo proof if it is disputed.
What landlords book it for
To make a unit rentable between tenants without waiting on whatever the last tenant did or did not do.
What buyers book it for
To take possession of a clean home before the furniture arrives, when every surface is still accessible.
Meeting a landlord's checklist and avoiding a damage dispute
Send us the checklist first
We confirm every line before we start, so nothing on it is discovered after the keys are handed back.
Before-and-after photo proof
Photographed on every job, so you have documentation if a landlord later disputes damage at the LTB.
The 24-hour free touch-up
If anything is missed, tell us within 24 hours and we return to fix it at no cost.

Move-in / move-out cleaning questions
Can you meet a landlord's checklist?
Yes - send it over and we'll confirm everything in advance.
Do you do same-day turnarounds?
Often, depending on the week. Book early when possible.
Do you offer end of tenancy cleaning in Ottawa?
Yes. End of tenancy cleaning is what we do every day across Ottawa - inside the fridge and oven, inside cabinets, window tracks, and bathrooms detailed so you can hand the keys back with photo proof.
What's the difference between end of lease cleaning and move-out cleaning?
They're the same service. UK and Australian renters tend to say end of lease or end of tenancy; in Canada most people say move-out cleaning. Whatever you call it, the goal is identical: leave the unit at a standard that avoids a landlord damage claim at the LTB.
Can you turn around student apartments around May 1?
Yes - that's our busiest week. We block extra crews around the May 1 student turnover in Sandy Hill, Centretown, and near Carleton and Algonquin. Book 2–3 weeks ahead during April.
