About this service

Move cleaning, coordinated around your handoff

Center City · Rittenhouse · Fishtown · Northern Liberties · Queen Village · South Philly · University City · Old City · Fairmount · West Philly · Mount Airy

When a unit has to be handed off spotless, Philadelphia renters, owners, and property managers call Hometress — and have since 2021. We coordinate with local property management companies and work to the standard inspections actually hold you to.

Whether it's a single deposit on the line or a portfolio of turnovers between tenants, we bring the heavy-duty equipment, clean every surface inside and out, and leave documentation that keeps references positive and disputes off the table. Every cleaner assigned to your move clean is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence.

Representative review

“The oven and fridge were cleaned inside, and the marks along the baseboards were handled before my walkthrough. Asking for photos and a written summary meant I did not have to assemble proof afterward.”

— Aisha M.Graduate Hospital · Philadelphia

Representative review

“We had two units turning over close together. The handoff dates stayed organized, and I asked for photos and a written summary for each clean.”

— Nora C.Northern Liberties · Philadelphia

Representative review

“The cabinets, drawers, and closets were wiped inside, which was the detail I cared about before the next tenant arrived. The empty unit felt ready for the handoff.”

Old-home handoff

Move In & Move Out Cleaning Service in Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia moves rarely happen in simple spaces. A South Philly row home may have narrow stairs, old radiators, exposed brick, and hardwood showing years of furniture marks; a Fishtown loft or a West Philly Victorian conversion brings a different mix of dust traps and delicate finishes. Your cleaner adjusts the work to those materials instead of treating every empty unit like a blank box, using surface-appropriate methods on vintage tile, marble, wood, and painted trim.

That local fit matters most after the rooms are empty, when radiator dust, residue on brick, floor impressions, and the dirt behind long-standing furniture finally come into view. These details sit beyond the standard appliance-and-cabinet checklist but shape the final impression of a rental or a newly purchased home. We address them within the agreed scope, document what was completed, and flag wear that cleaning honestly can't reverse.

Move-day logistics

Why Philadelphia Residents Choose Our Move Cleaning Services

Move day in Philadelphia can mean truck permits, narrow streets, stair-only access, building rules, and a lease deadline landing at once. Share those constraints before the visit so the clean can be placed after the belongings leave and before the keys change hands. That timing keeps your cleaner out of the movers' path and gives the empty unit the uninterrupted attention a turnover clean needs.

If the schedule shifts, clear access instructions matter more than extra promises. Tell us where the cleaner can enter, when the truck is expected to clear, and whether a landlord or property manager controls the handoff. We coordinate around the confirmed window, work through the documented scope, and can send a written summary of the finished work on request — a practical plan for a complicated moving day.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

(215) 607-7361
Do you work with property managers?

Yes — recurring turnovers are a core part of what we do. We coordinate on handoff dates, hold a consistent standard across units, and can provide documentation for a clean on request. Reach out and we'll set up a standing arrangement.

How is this different from move in / move out cleaning?

Same domain — an empty-unit deep clean to inspection standard. This page is for anyone thinking in terms of turnovers and handoffs, including managers running multiple units. The cleaning scope is the same thorough, documented work.

How much does move cleaning cost in Philadelphia?

Move cleaning uses flat, all-in pricing based on the home's size and the kind of clean, with supplies included. You see the full amount before booking rather than starting an hourly meter. The service covers an empty-unit turnover, including the interiors of the oven, fridge, range, cabinets, and drawers. Property managers arranging recurring turnovers can contact Hometress about a standing arrangement.

Do I need to be home during the move cleaning?

Not necessarily. The important part is coordinating the clean around your handoff date. If you will not be at the unit, contact Hometress before the visit to confirm the access details and make sure the empty home is ready for the turnover clean. The finished work can then be documented for your records or final walkthrough.

Can you document the move clean for my landlord or property manager?

Yes. Photos and a written summary of the finished clean are available on request, giving you a record of the unit's condition after the work is complete. That documentation can be useful when preparing for a final walkthrough, handing the unit to a property manager, or keeping consistent records across recurring turnovers.

How are cleaners vetted for move cleaning services?

Every Hometress cleaner is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence. Those standards apply whether the move clean is for a renter preparing for a final walkthrough, an owner readying a home for its next occupant, or a property manager coordinating recurring turnovers.

What if I'm not happy with the clean?

Tell us within 48 hours. We review the concern and make it right — a free re-clean of the affected area, or a credit or refund on that portion. That's the White Glove Guarantee.
