Quick answer

At a glance: price, timing and what a move-in clean covers

Move in cleaning is a thorough clean of your new home before you move in. The home is still empty, so the cleaner reaches every cabinet, shelf and corner. Then you unpack in a clean home.

The previous tenant or owner may have cleaned, but often not inside the cabinets or behind the appliances. A move-in clean is a deep clean of an empty home, so you start fresh.

What’s included
Kitchen cabinets inside and out, bathroom and toilet, all rooms, floors and inside windows. The oven, the fridge and outside windows on request.
Price
Move in cleaning costs €180–€850 per job, depending on the size and state of your new home. For a small job, such as only the kitchen and bathroom, the hourly rate starts at €35.
When
Between the key handover and your moving day. Plan one day for the clean if you can.
When to book
One to two weeks before you get the keys. Book sooner at the end of the month.
Cost of a request
Posting a job is free, with no obligation.

Checklist

What does move in cleaning include? A room-by-room checklist

A move-in clean covers every room while the home is empty. Clean the cabinets now, because once they are full you will not get to them. Often forgotten: the top of the cabinets, the shower drain and the window tracks.

Move in cleaning checklist, room by room

  • Kitchen: cabinets and drawers inside and out, worktops, hob, sink and taps
  • Appliances on request: oven, extractor hood, fridge, freezer and dishwasher
  • Bathroom and toilet: limescale off taps and shower glass, tiles, grout, toilet and washbasin
  • All rooms: built-in wardrobes inside, shelves, skirting boards, switches, door handles and radiators
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped before the furniture arrives
  • Inside windows streak-free, with sills, frames and window tracks. Outside windows on request.

Agree separately

  • Repairs, painting and filling holes
  • Taking away rubbish or things the previous occupant left, unless you agree it
  • Heavy building dust after a renovation: ask for a post-construction clean

Hiring tips

How to choose a move in cleaning service

Choose a cleaner who can work between your key handover and your move, and who agrees the full task list and one fixed price.

  1. Check that the cleaning company is in the KvK register. Ask for an invoice.

  2. Ask what is included in each room, and whether cabinets are cleaned inside

  3. Agree the date and how the cleaner gets the key

  4. Ask who brings the products and equipment

  5. Ask whether they come back for a spot that was missed

Warning signs

  • A fixed price without knowing the size, tasks and access
  • No clear agreement on what is not included
  • Payment up front without a written agreement

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about move in cleaning

Short answers to the questions customers ask most before they look for a cleaner.

What does move in cleaning in Utrecht cost?

Move in cleaning costs €180–€850 per job, depending on the size and state of your new home. For a small job, such as only the kitchen and bathroom, the hourly rate starts at €35.

When should I book a move-in clean?

Book it one to two weeks ahead, for a day between getting the keys and moving in. An empty home is quicker to clean, and the cleaner reaches every cabinet.

Should I clean before or after the movers come?

Before. Then the cleaner reaches every cabinet, floor and corner. After the move, a short clean of the floors is often enough. Book regular house cleaning if you want to keep it that way.

Shouldn’t the previous tenant have cleaned?

A tenant hands back the home in the state agreed at the start of the lease. That is often clean, but not always to your standard. Many new occupants book their own clean for a fresh start.

What is the difference between move-in and end-of-tenancy cleaning?

Move in cleaning is for the home you move into. End-of-tenancy (move-out) cleaning is for the rental you leave, before the final inspection. Both are close to a deep clean; the goal is different.

Do I need to be there during the clean?

Not for the whole clean. Agree how the cleaner gets the key, and walk through the home together at the end.
