Why Karen’s Green Maids Is Chicago’s Trusted Move-Out Cleaning Service

After 40 years in the cleaning industry, I’ve learned one important truth: how you leave a space says just as much as how you lived in it. Whether you’re moving into a new chapter or closing the door on a long-time home, one of the most overlooked, yet crucial parts of the process is the move out clean.

At Karen’s Green Maids, we specialize in helping Chicago residents make clean exits literally. As a woman-owned, eco-conscious cleaning company, we’ve spent decades perfecting the art of move out cleaning. Our experience, attention to detail, and environmentally responsible approach have earned us the trust of thousands of families, landlords, property managers, and realtors across the city.

Our move out cleaning checklist is designed with Chicago’s high standards in mind. From cleaning the interior of cupboards and drawers to disinfecting tile grout and clearing out concealed dust from fans and vents, we pay attention to the little things that others miss.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what we cover:

Deep cleaning of kitchens, including appliances (inside &  out)

  • Disinfection of bathrooms, including showers, tubs  and toilets

  • Dusting blinds, baseboards, and vents

  • Vacuuming and mopping all floors

  • Cleaning closets, windowsills, and light fixtures

  • Wall spot-cleaning and cobweb removal

We also tailor our service to match your property type,  whether it’s a vintage walk-up in Wicker Park or a luxury condo downtown.

A Healthier Cleaning Experience Thanks to Eco Friendly Products That Protect Your Home and the Environment

At Karen’s Green Maids, health and sustainability go hand in hand. That’s why we only use green-certified cleaning products that are safe for humans, pets, and the environment. Many of the ingredients we use are vetted through the Environmental Working Group (EWG) a  trusted authority that ranks household products based on safety and environmental impact.

By using these cleaner alternatives, we reduce your exposure to harsh chemicals,  a big plus if you’re moving into a new space with kids or pets. More importantly, we do our part to protect Chicago’s air and water quality, one cleaning at a time.

Each member of our staff has undergone extensive screening, a background investigation, and professional training. Because we are completely insured and bonded, you can rest easy knowing that your house is in capable hands.
