Start Fresh Before You Unpack

Move-in cleaning in Chicago that prepares your new home before furniture and boxes arrive.

You want your new home in Chicago to feel clean before you move in, especially when walls, floors, and bathrooms show signs of the previous occupant. Move-in cleaning gives you a fresh start by wiping down key surfaces, scrubbing kitchens and bathrooms, and cleaning floors thoroughly before you unpack a single box.

Genesis Commerical Cleaning Inc offers move-in cleaning that includes wipe-down of counters, sinks, and light switches, thorough floor cleaning with sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping, and focused attention on bathrooms and kitchens. Optional upgrades include inside fridge and oven cleaning if needed, baseboard wiping, and spot attention to doors and walls. Pricing aligns with deep cleaning where needed, and scope depends on property condition when we arrive. We schedule early or late to match your move-in timeline, so the space is ready when you need it.

What Gets Cleaned Before You Move In

Move-in cleaning in Chicago starts with floors, since empty homes show dust, debris, and scuff marks more clearly. We sweep, vacuum, and mop all hard floors and vacuum carpets. Bathrooms are scrubbed: toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, and fixtures. Kitchens get counters wiped, sinks scrubbed, and exterior appliance cleaning. Light switches, door handles, and baseboards are wiped down if requested.

After the service, you will notice floors that feel clean underfoot, bathrooms that smell fresh and look scrubbed, and kitchens with counters and sinks free of residue. Dust on windowsills, shelves, and light fixtures will be gone, and high-touch surfaces will feel wiped down and ready to use.

If the property has been vacant for a while or the previous tenant left it in poor condition, we adjust time and effort to match what the space needs. Inside fridge and oven cleaning is available as an add-on if those appliances have buildup or odors. We work around your move-in schedule and can coordinate timing with your landlord or property manager if needed.

Most people want to know what is included, how long it takes, and whether we can clean before their belongings arrive. Here are the answers.

Questions We Hear Before Move-In Day

What is included in move-in cleaning?
Move-in cleaning includes wiping down all key surfaces, scrubbing bathrooms and kitchens, and thorough floor cleaning. Optional upgrades include inside fridge and oven cleaning, baseboard wiping, and spot attention to walls and doors.
How long does move-in cleaning take?
It depends on property size and condition. A two-bedroom apartment in average condition usually takes three to four hours, while larger homes or homes needing extra detail can take five to six hours.
When should I schedule move-in cleaning?
Most clients schedule move-in cleaning the day before or the morning of their move-in date, so the space is clean before furniture and boxes arrive. We offer flexible scheduling to match your timeline.
What happens if the property is dirtier than expected?
We assess condition when we arrive and adjust time and effort as needed. If the property requires significantly more work, we let you know before proceeding and adjust pricing if necessary.
Can you clean while the property is still empty?
Yes, move-in cleaning works best in empty properties because we can access all floors, corners, and surfaces without moving furniture. We coordinate timing with your landlord or property manager if needed.
