Move-in and move-out cleaning by ABHC Cleaning Services in Raleigh, NC.
Because the home is empty, a move-out or move-in clean reaches everything a landlord checks, room by room. The full checklist is on our move-in and move-out cleaning page.
The oven and refrigerator cleaned inside and out, including racks, shelves, and drawers, the inside of every cabinet and drawer wiped, the stovetop scrubbed, and the range hood filter degreased. This is where most deposit deductions start.
Tub and shower tile scrubbed, grout and caulk lines cleaned, toilets sanitized inside and out, cabinets wiped inside and out, fixtures and mirrors polished, and floors damp-mopped.
Inside closets and shelves wiped, blinds and baseboards hand-wiped, window tracks and frames cleaned, doors and light switches wiped, and floors done edge to edge.
Ceiling fan blades dusted, baseboards hand-wiped, window tracks wiped, doors, light fixtures, and switches cleaned, and stairs and every floor vacuumed and damp-mopped.
Inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets is included on empty-home cleans, with no add-ons needed. Interior windows and wall washing can be added on request. For safety, our team does not climb higher than a two-step ladder.
Raleigh moves happen all year, but a few local patterns make it worth booking early.
Nearly half of Raleigh's occupied homes are rented, so lease turnovers happen every month, and a deposit-ready clean is what stands between a tenant and a cleaning deduction.
Student, faculty, and young-professional rentals around NC State turn over heavily at the end of summer, so move-out cleans in those weeks are worth reserving well before the walk-through.
North Carolina gives landlords 30 days to return a security deposit or itemize deductions (G.S. 42-52). A clean done against the landlord checklist before you hand back the keys keeps cleaning off that list.
Brier Creek and North Raleigh sit a short drive from RDU and Research Triangle Park, with plenty of newer construction. For families relocating there, a move-in clean before the furniture arrives means unpacking into a home that is truly clean.
We clean empty homes for move-ins and move-outs in every part of Raleigh, from apartments to single-family homes; see our house cleaning in Raleigh page for the full neighborhood guide.
Student and young-professional rentals with an end-of-summer turnover, where move-out cleans before the walk-through book up first.

After more than 12 years cleaning Raleigh homes, our move-in and move-out cleaning is built on two simple commitments, in Andreia's own words.
A clean you can count on.
In Raleigh, as across the Triangle, a move-in or move-out clean typically costs about $325 to $550 for a 2-3 bedroom home, because it includes inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and the full landlord checklist. Booking it yourself is almost always cheaper than a landlord deduction, and new clients get $20 off their first cleaning.
| Home size | Typical move-out range |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom / apartment | $250 – $400 |
| 2–3 bedroom house | $325 – $550 |
| 4+ bedroom / large home (2,500+ sq ft) | $450 – $800+ |
Note: move-outs price like deep cleans because they include inside appliances and cabinets, baseboards, and window tracks. Homes with heavy buildup or pets may be quoted higher, and interior windows and wall washing are add-ons.
ABHC has earned a 4.9-star rating and hundreds of five-star reviews on Google, built one home at a time across the Triangle. See our reviews on Google →
"Andreia's always does an immaculate job! We've used them for deep cleans and move in cleaning and have always been thrilled with the results. They stayed flexible with our move in cleaning since our closing date kept changing which was so helpful. Can't recommend their team enough!"
"I absolutely loved the service! It was the first cleaning in my new home, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The stove looks amazing, it was really dirty, and now it's shining like new! The floors are spotless, and the bathroom and bedrooms were cleaned perfectly. Everything feels so fresh, organized, and welcoming. The communication was excellent, and the team was kind, efficient, and professional. I highly recommend them!"

It targets what landlords inspect, which is where most deposit deductions come from: inside the oven, refrigerator, and cabinets, plus grout, baseboards, and window tracks. In North Carolina, landlords have 30 days to return a deposit or itemize deductions, so a clean done before you hand back the keys keeps cleaning off that list.
Leases around NC State turn over heavily at the end of summer, so book as soon as you know your move-out date and walk-through time. Outside that window, book once your walk-through date is set; an empty home can be cleaned while you are busy with the move itself.
