Move In and Move Out Cleaning · East and North Valley
Move out and move in cleaning in Tempe, AZ
An empty home cleaned for a landlord inspection, a deposit return, or your first night in it. Move-outs are the most detailed clean we do, so they go to our most detailed teams, and we clean to your property manager's checklist if you have one.
Most Tempe households rent, so move-out cleaning here runs on lease dates and the ASU calendar. The team cleans the empty home to what a landlord walkthrough looks at: inside the oven, refrigerator and dishwasher, inside every cabinet and closet, the bathrooms in full detail, and the floors last.

Why it is different here
Move in and move out cleaning tasks Tempe homes need most
Census figures for 2020 to 2024 count 57.7 percent of occupied Tempe homes as rentals, so a large share of the city's homes change hands on a lease date. Around ASU those dates bunch up after spring finals and before fall classes. An empty unit shows everything furniture covered: the floor along the walls, the closet shelves, the inside of drawers and the track of every slider. Those are the places a move-out clean goes through one by one.
Getting in. Parking near ASU is tight, so we plan arrivals; South Tempe streets are open with driveway parking.
Weighted on the Tempe list
- Cabinets, drawers and closet shelves wiped inside after the last box
- Shower tracks and grout detailed against Tempe's hard water
- Floor edges and slider tracks once the furniture is gone

Local notes
Planning move in and move out cleaning for a Tempe home
ASU's calendar sets much of the pace. Spring 2027 final exams run May 3 to 8 and commencement is May 10, and classes for fall 2027 start on August 19. Leases near campus tend to end once finals are over and start ahead of fall classes, so the same unit can need a move-out clean in May and a move-in clean in August. ASU notes that its dates can change, so check them against your lease.
Plan the clear-out before the clean. Tempe picks up bulk trash every other month, and items can go out no earlier than 10 days before the Monday of your area's week, so check the city schedule before moving day. Paint, oil and cleaners do not go in bulk trash. The city's Household Products Collection Center on University Drive takes them and accepts an ASU student ID as proof of residency.
With the rooms empty, the team reaches what a lived-in home hides: inside every cabinet, drawer, vanity and medicine cabinet, the closet shelves, and the floor along each wall. Property managers with several Tempe units can send their move-out checklist once, and each unit is cleaned to it. A move-in clean for the next household uses the same list.

Rented homes and housing age
In the Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020 to 2024, 57.7 percent of Tempe's occupied homes are rented, and 24.1 percent of all housing units are in buildings with 20 or more units. Homes built in the 1970s (24.2 percent) and the 1980s (21.9 percent) are the two largest groups by decade.
Bulk trash pickup
Tempe collects bulk trash from residential customers every other month, up to 10 cubic yards, set out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled week and no earlier than 10 days before. Construction and remodeling debris such as drywall, plaster, scrap lumber, flooring, carpet and roofing is not accepted, and neither are paint, oil or cleaners.
ASU academic calendar
ASU's academic calendar lists spring 2027 final exams for May 3 to 8, 2027 and commencement on May 10, 2027, and fall 2027 classes begin August 19, 2027. Fall 2026 commencement is December 14, 2026, and the calendar notes that all dates are subject to change.

Truly an amazing company. Called them on Sunday to schedule a move out clean on Monday. It was a short notice but they were able to work with me. The two ladies who came to do the clean were so professional and the attention to detail was phenomenal. Highly recommend this company.
Tempe move in and move out cleaning questions
Do you clean Tempe apartments and condos on move-out, or only houses?
Both. Census figures put 24.1 percent of Tempe's housing units in buildings of 20 or more units, and a move-out in one of them gets the same checklist as a house: inside cabinets and appliances, bathrooms in full detail, closets, baseboards and floors. Share the building's parking and check-in rules ahead of the day so the team can plan the visit.
What should I do with furniture and leftover cleaners before a Tempe move-out clean?
Move them out first, so the team can reach every cabinet, closet and floor edge. Tempe takes mattresses and furniture that cannot be donated in its bulk trash pickup every other month, on your area's scheduled week. Paint, oil and cleaners are not accepted in bulk trash; Tempe's drop-off center for household products, at 1320 E. University Drive, accepts them from residents.
Can the team clean my new Tempe home before the movers arrive?
Yes. A move-in clean follows the same checklist as a move-out, so the empty kitchen gets its cabinets, drawers, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher cleaned inside, the bathrooms are detailed down to the grout and shower tracks, and closets and baseboards are wiped before the floors. Schedule it once the keys are yours and before the first truck pulls up.
Does the home need to be empty?
Ideally, yes. Cleaning around boxes and furniture limits what can be reached.
How soon can you do move in and move out cleaning in Tempe?
Tempe is on our daily routes from central Phoenix, 15 to 25 minutes. Send a booking request with the first date that suits you and the office calls you back to set it up, then confirms the team the day before.
