Overview
Move into a Newton house the way it should have been left
Newton move-ins are mostly buyers closing on houses, and sellers rarely leave a home clean. Cabinet shelves have crumbs and rings. The oven has not been cleaned in years. Closets on the third floor were emptied but never wiped. The basement has a season of dust. A move-in clean is the one chance to reset a large house completely while it is empty, and our Newton teams schedule a full day to do every level properly.
The service is a deep clean plus every interior surface a house has: kitchen cabinets and drawers washed inside and out, pantry shelves wiped, bathroom vanities emptied and scrubbed, every closet shelf and rod wiped, the mudroom and basement cleaned, and floors dry-mopped and damp-passed edge to edge on every level. Hardwood, stone, and stainless each get the right products. A plant-based line is available on request.
Timing follows closings. The most common plan is to close on Friday, have us clean Saturday, and move in Sunday. We collect keys from agents and lockboxes. Newton's competitive market means buyers often have little time between closing and moving, so we hold slots as soon as a closing date is firm. A four-bedroom house takes our team most of a day. Pricing is quoted by home size and condition and includes every interior.

When to book
Timing a move-in clean in Newton
Between keys and the moving truck
The ideal slot. We clean the empty unit in the morning and your movers arrive after. We coordinate with agents and managers to make it work.
After a landlord turnover clean
Many turnover cleans are a quick wipe. If the cabinet shelves and closets were skipped, we finish before you fill them, and the oven and fridge can be added.
New construction or renovation
Contractors leave fine dust in every cabinet. A move-in clean after the punch list keeps it off your dishes.
After closing on a purchase
Book for the day after closing and move in the following weekend to a home that feels like yours.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“We booked a deep clean before hosting a graduation party. They pulled the stove out, cleaned the baseboards behind the couch, and got years of dust off the ceiling fan blades. Thorough is an understatement.”
“Two people arrive every other Thursday, work through the whole house in about two hours, and the kitchen looks the way it did the day we moved in. I have stopped thinking about cleaning entirely.”
“My building has strict elevator rules and they handled the check-in with the concierge without me being there. Floor-to-ceiling windows spotless, no streaks. That alone was worth it.”
