A move-out clean is the one cleaning job with money riding on it: your security deposit, or the final walkthrough with a buyer. So the first question is always what it costs. Here is how Every Kind Cleaning prices move-out and move-in cleaning across the North Shore, with real numbers from the calculator on our move-out cleaning page, what drives the price, and what landlords actually check.
How Move-Out Cleaning Is Priced
We price a move-out the same way we price any home cleaning: square footage, number of bathrooms, and the level of cleaning. The difference is which level you pick. A move-out is a top to bottom deep clean of an empty home, done to the standard of a landlord inspection, so it is a Level 3 or Level 4, not a Level 1. Level 4 is the one that includes appliances inside and out, grout and tile, vents and window tracks, which are exactly the spots landlords look at first.
Enter your size on the move-out page and all four levels show up with a price and a Book button. The price is fixed when you book, payment is taken at booking, and there is no extra charge if the job runs long.
Real Move-Out Prices by Home Size
| Home | Level 3 | Level 4 (full move-out) |
|---|---|---|
| One bedroom apartment, 700 sq ft, 1 bath | $550 | $650 |
| Two bedroom, 1,100 sq ft, 2 baths | $750 | $850 |
| Three bedroom, 1,800 sq ft, 2.5 baths | $1,000 | $1,200 |
| Four bedroom, 2,200 sq ft, 3 baths | $1,200 | $1,400 |
Those are calculator prices for an empty home in ordinary condition. If the place needs more than that, there is a second path: book the $350 move-in or move-out deposit on our booking page. The deposit holds your date and we quote the job after seeing photos or the space.
What Drives the Cost Up or Down
- Bathrooms. They are the slowest rooms in a move-out. Tub, tile, grout, toilet, vanity and inside the drawers all get scrubbed.
- Square footage. More floor, more baseboards, more walls, more closets.
- Level 3 or Level 4. Level 4 adds inside the oven and fridge, grout, ceilings, vents and window tracks. If your lease says the appliances must be cleaned inside, Level 4 is the one.
- Carpets. Many North Shore leases require professionally cleaned carpets at move-out. We do that in the same visit, $268 for one room, $388 for two, and you get the receipt for your landlord.
- Condition. Heavy grease, pet damage or a unit that has not been cleaned in years is a deposit and quote job, not a calculator job.
What Landlords Check First
The same spots come up on landlord checklists every time:
- Inside the oven and under the stovetop
- Inside the fridge and freezer, pulled out if possible
- Inside every cabinet and drawer
- Tub and shower grout, and behind the toilet
- Baseboards, switch plates and door frames
- Window sills and tracks
- Closet shelves and rods
- Scuffs and fingerprints on walls
Our move-out cleaning checklist goes through every room in detail.
When to Book
Book for the day after the movers leave, when the home is empty. End of month dates fill first across Beverly, Salem and Danvers, so lock in the date as soon as you know your move. If the home is not empty yet, book the deposit and we hold the date.

Move-Out Cleaning Cost FAQs
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Massachusetts?
On the North Shore, a one bedroom apartment is $550 to $650, a two bedroom is $750 to $850 and a three bedroom home is $1,000 to $1,200 on our calculator, depending on whether you choose Level 3 or Level 4. Larger or heavily soiled homes are quoted after a $350 deposit holds the date.
What is the difference between Level 3 and Level 4 for a move-out?
Level 4 adds inside the oven and fridge, grout and tile, ceilings, vents, window tracks and appliances inside and out. Most landlord checklists include the inside of appliances, so Level 4 is the full move-out clean.
Does move-out cleaning include carpet cleaning?
Carpet cleaning is added separately so you only pay for it if your lease requires it. It is $268 for one room and $388 for two, done in the same visit, with a receipt for your landlord.
Is move-in cleaning priced the same as move-out?
Yes. The calculator on the move-out page works for move-ins too. Same square footage, bathrooms and levels.
Do I need to be there for the move-out clean?
No. Most customers leave a key or lockbox code. We clean top to bottom and let you know when it is done.
