Services We Provide
-
You should ensure your new home or apartment is cleaned thoroughly before you move in. This will make sure it’s sanitary for you and your family, and it will also give you a fresh start. Before you move in, we can do a thorough, deep clean. This takes cleaning off your to-do list as you plan your move and ensures your home is clean, sanitary, and safe before you start living there.
-
This depends on what cleaning services you choose, how large your home or apartment is, and which rooms you want us to clean. We’ll give you a time window for our services before we begin, and we’ll let you know if we anticipate taking longer than our estimate. Our team works together to go room by room in a coordinated effort to clean precisely, thoroughly, and efficiently. Our general estimate is that it can take around 30 minutes for us to clean each room thoroughly. It might take us more or less time depending on whether you want areas deep cleaned or if you want us to skip certain rooms or tasks.
-
Yes! You can customize services and add on deep cleaning move-in services as needed. If there is a service you need that we don’t offer, we’re happy to refer you to another one of our Neighborly® Home Services partners.
-
We offer one-time cleaning, occasional cleaning, recurring cleaning and apartment cleaning services. We can schedule recurring cleaning services for you weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. We can also schedule special event cleaning services if you’re preparing for a party or a house guest.
-
Yes! We offer move-in cleaning and move-out cleaning services to landlords and property owners. We love helping commercial customers get their properties ready for the next tenant.
-
Many people prefer to be elsewhere while we clean, but you are welcome to stick around if you want to! Otherwise, you can arrange entry for us ahead of time by coming by and unlocking the door, leaving a hidden key, giving us the entry code, or having a trusted neighbor or friend let us in.
-
Like all of our services at Molly Maid of Sonoma and Napa Counties, our move-in cleaning plans are customized to meet the exact needs of each family. If you want to streamline the process, you can ask us to take the lead, and we’ll sweep, mop, dust, and wipe down each room. However, if you have a specific request, we can always accommodate your needs. Some homeowners want us to focus on specific rooms, while others may want us to focus on specific types of cleaning.
-
Luckily, move-in cleaning services typically require less preparation on your part than any other type of cleaning service. We can be more thorough if we are able to clean before furniture and boxes have been moved into the space. We also ask that you keep pets in a secure space, away from the areas where our home service professionals will be. One of the most important things for move-in cleaning appointments is to make sure that the utilities, such as water and electricity, are connected. We will need water for tasks like mopping, and we will need electricity if we are going to vacuum or have enough light to see the area properly.
-
