Moving In or Moving Out? Let Custom Maids Handle the Cleaning
Moving is stressful enough without worrying about cleaning.
Whether you're leaving a property and need it spotless for the next occupants, or arriving at a new place and want a fresh, clean start — Custom Maids has been handling move-out and move-in cleanings in the GTA since 1978.
Our move out cleaning service is thorough by design.
Unlike a regular maintenance clean, move-out and move-in cleaning goes deeper — inside appliances, inside cabinets and drawers, inside the fridge and oven. We clean houses, townhouses, condos and apartments to the same vacancy standard.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning
Move-out cleaning is a detailed vacancy clean covering the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. It can include inside appliances, cupboards and drawers, baseboards, window sills, floors and other areas that are easier to reach once the home has been emptied.
Move-in cleaning prepares your new home before you unpack. The focus is on giving you a clean starting point, including kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards, drawers, appliances and living areas so the home is ready for your belongings.
Whenever possible, yes. The best time for move-out cleaning is after most furniture and belongings have been removed. An empty home gives the cleaner access to floors, baseboards, cupboards, drawers and other areas that are normally blocked.
Yes. If possible, arrange move-in cleaning after you receive access to the property but before the movers arrive. This allows the cleaner to work efficiently and gives you clean cupboards, appliances, bathrooms and floors before you begin unpacking.
Yes. These are common priorities for move-in and move-out cleaning and can be included in the cleaning plan. Let us know the condition of the property and any areas requiring special attention when you book.
The amount of time depends on the size and condition of the home. Empty properties often allow faster access to surfaces, but appliances, cupboards and accumulated buildup can add significant time. We can help you choose a suitable booking based on your property.
Yes. Many clients arrange move-out cleaning for the home they are leaving and move-in cleaning for the home they are entering. We can help coordinate the two services around your moving schedule.
No. As long as secure access has been arranged and we have clear instructions, you do not need to remain at the property while the cleaning is being completed.
