Move-In Cleaning in New Jersey
Cleaned while it's empty — inside every cabinet, closet and appliance.
About this service
What move-in cleaning actually involves
The clean a property gets at the end of a sale or lease is done to pass a walkthrough. It usually covers what you can see from standing height.
Move-in cleaning uses a window that only lasts a few days: the place is empty, so everything is reachable. Inside every cabinet and drawer. The back of every closet shelf. Behind the appliances.
Once the moving truck arrives, most of that disappears behind furniture for as long as you live there.

Why Kamille's
What we bring to move-in work
Timed around your closing date
The gap between getting keys and the truck arriving is often one day. Give us the date early and we'll hold it.
Inside everything, while that's still possible
Cabinet interiors, closet shelves and appliance insides are the whole reason to clean before you move in.
We assume nothing was cleaned
Rather than guessing what the last occupant did, we clean it all.

Questions
Move-In questions, answered
When should the clean happen?
After you have access and before the furniture arrives — ideally the day you get keys or the day after.
The sellers had it cleaned. Do I still need this?
That clean was done to pass a walkthrough, which usually means visible surfaces and floors. Cabinet interiors, closet shelves and appliance insides are where those cleans normally stop — and that's exactly where your things are about to go.
Can you clean after my furniture is in?
We can, and it's still worthwhile, but the list gets shorter. We can't clean inside a full cabinet or behind a loaded bookcase. Tell us the situation and we'll quote what we can actually do.
How is this different from a deep clean?
The work overlaps. A move-in clean is built for an empty property, so cabinet, closet and appliance interiors are standard. If the place is occupied, a deep clean is usually the better fit.
Do you clean apartments and condos?
Yes — they're among the most common move-in cleans we do. Just let us know about building access in advance.
