Preparing Spaces Between Tenants and Owners

Move-In / Move-Out & Residential Cleaning in Baltimore

Residential turnover in Baltimore often leaves behind dirt along baseboards, grime in kitchens and bathrooms, and dust in closets where furniture once blocked access. Property managers, landlords, and tenants need spaces cleaned thoroughly before new occupants arrive or security deposits are returned. Moving boxes, foot traffic, and last-minute cleaning by tenants rarely address buildup in corners, behind appliances, or inside cabinets where crumbs and spills settle over time.

Jose's Commercial Cleaning Services provides move-in and move-out cleaning for residential and commercial properties throughout Baltimore. We scrub kitchens and bathrooms, wipe down surfaces, vacuum or mop all floors, and clean inside cabinets and closets. This service is designed for property managers, landlords, tenants, and homeowners who need detailed cleaning during transitions to ensure the space is ready for its next occupant.

If you are managing a Baltimore property turnover or preparing to move and need a complete cleaning before handoff, contact us to schedule a service that covers all areas.

What Gets Cleaned During a Turnover Service

We clean all rooms from top to bottom, starting with kitchens and bathrooms where buildup is heaviest. In Baltimore homes and apartments, we scrub sinks, tubs, toilets, and tile grout, wipe down countertops and backsplashes, and clean inside microwaves, ovens, and refrigerators if they remain in the unit. Floors are vacuumed and mopped, and baseboards are wiped to remove dust and scuff marks.

After cleaning, surfaces are free of visible dirt and odors, kitchens and bathrooms look sanitized, and floors no longer show tracked-in debris or sticky spots. The property feels neutral and prepared for a walkthrough or new tenant move-in.

We also clean inside cabinets, closets, and pantries, removing crumbs, dust, and shelf liner residue. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, and window sills are wiped down. This service does not include carpet shampooing, window exteriors, or yard work, though we can arrange add-ons if needed. If appliances are tenant-owned and removed, we clean the spaces they occupied.

Can you clean the property while furniture is still inside?
We can clean around furniture, but move-out cleaning is most thorough when the property is empty. If furniture remains, we focus on accessible areas and return after removal if needed.

Will this cleaning meet landlord requirements for deposit return?
