A Chicago Move-Out Cleaning Service for Every Type of Household
From Downtown Apartments to Family Homes
As previously mentioned, all clients experience their moves differently. Therefore, our Move-Out Cleaning services were created to accommodate various types of Chicago households and residential situations. For instance, we assist busy professionals who are changing apartments in downtown Chicago, students moving out of shared housing near DePaul university or UIC, families relocating from a family home in lake view or Logan Square, and homeowners preparing a property for sale in neighborhoods like Lincoln Square, Hyde Park or Ravenswood. Karen's Green Maids also assist:
Tenants preparing for a landlord inspection.
Sellers preparing a home or condominium for sale.
Buyers wishing to have a "fresh" start before they move-in.
Real estate agents needing to arrange for presentation-ready homes between occupants.
Landlords and property managers requiring residential turnover cleaning.
Busy families/remote workers that do not have the time for a full deep cleaning during a move.
Regardless of whether it be a vintage walk-up near Wrigley Field or modern apartments near the Willis Tower, our Move-Out Cleaning staff focus on those areas that create the greatest visual impact upon handover: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, surfaces, fixtures & high-touch areas.
What Our Move-Out Cleaning Includes
Thorough House Cleaning for a Fresh, Presentable Finish
When compared to standard house cleaning, Move-Out Cleaning requires additional attention-to-detail and completion. When we clean your vacated or nearly-vacant home we follow a check list specifically designed to eliminate dust & dirt accumulation, residue, fingerprints & grime from the high-use & visible spaces most often reviewed during a final inspection.
Typical components of your Chicago Move-Out Cleaning include:
Dust all accessible shelf tops, ledge tops, baseboard tops, blind slats, door trim, light fixture tops etc.
Clean the kitchen counter-tops, the exterior surfaces of all accessible cabinetry, the backsplash area surrounding the stove/range, the sink(s), all accessible surface areas (e.g.: table tops, etc.)
Clean the exterior surfaces of all kitchen appliances (e.g.: refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher & microwave).
Clean the toilet bowl(s), shower stall/tub(s), mirror(s)/glass, fixtures, vanity(s) & sink(s) in all bath areas.
Vacuum all carpeted flooring and mop/microfiber-scrub all hard floor surfaces throughout your home.
Remove all dust/dirt/debris from all bedroom closet areas & closet storage bins/lifts/etc., living room areas, hallway areas & entry-way areas.
Clean/wipe-down interior doors, switch-plates/plugs/outlets, reachable wall marks/high-touch surfaces.
Clean window sill tops (inside), interior glass door tracks/fingerprints & other small details throughout your home that are within reach.
Each home presents unique challenges. A one-bedroom apartment located near the Chicago River might need only a quick/thorough reset prior to handing back keys; whereas a multi-room townhouse located in Edison Park would require deeper cleaning prior to closing day. Please share information regarding your home when booking your appointment so our team can advise you on the correct amount of service needed.

Move-Out Cleaning FAQs
Answers for Chicago Renters and Homeowners
Q:What is included in move-out cleaning?
In general Move-Out Cleaning includes detailed cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, floors/appliance exterior surfaces/accessible cabinets/fixtures/baseboards and high touch areas. Depending on the size/home condition/requested services – items listed above may vary.
Q:Do you provide Move-Out Cleaning services for apartments?
Yes! Karen's Green Maids offers Move-Out Cleaning for studio’s/one bedroom units/shared apartments/condominiums/larger rentals throughout Chicago.
Q: Is it best if my home be empty prior to cleaning?
It is best if you home is empty or nearly empty so cleaners can effectively clean more surfaces/floors/rooms. If there are still some belongings remaining – please inform us so we can discuss expectations/cleanability.
Q: Will Move-Out Cleaning guarantee return of security deposit?
Unfortunately no cleaning provider can guarantee a return on your security deposit. Landlord considerations when evaluating deposit returns are much more than just cleanliness (lease terms/damage/repairs/property condition). While professional deep cleaning can assist in presenting a clean/well maintained space for inspection – it will not guarantee your deposit will be returned.
Q: How far ahead should i schedule?
Schedule as soon as possible – particularly during month end – summer lease turnover – and busy moving season. Scheduling your preferred cleaning date/time as soon as possible will increase chances of getting desired date/time
