Move-out and move-in cleaning

Move-out cleaning in San Francisco, Oakland & Berkeley

You’ve got a hand-over date, a truck to load, and a landlord who’s going to walk the place with a clipboard. We take the cleaning off that list.

Sygora does move-out and move-in cleans across San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley — one dedicated cleaner, one fixed scope, and a firm price before you book. No tiers to choose, no condition settings to guess at. You tell us the home and the date, and we handle the rest.

Takes about two minutes.

1 · Your handover date

Book against the key-handover date, not the moving-truck date. The truck can run late without costing you anything.

2 · One cleaner, one scope

Your dedicated cleaner works the whole visit, top to bottom, in one fixed elevated scope.

3 · Inspection-ready

We show up on the date we said and clean to the scope we published, before the walkthrough.

01 / Scope

What a move-out clean covers

Move-out cleaning services from Sygora are built for an empty or near-empty home, top to bottom, in one fixed elevated scope. Here’s what that means in practice:

What "reachable" means

From the floor or a two-step stool. Anything above that is out of scope, and we’d rather tell you now than have you find out at the walkthrough.

Add-ons you pick in the quote flow

The price shows before you pay.

02 / Compare

Move-out vs. a standard or deep clean

A move-out clean is aimed at a different audience entirely — the person inspecting the place after you’ve gone.

Standard house clean

Keeps a home you’re living in comfortable. If you’re staying put and just want the place handled on a schedule, house cleaning is the better fit.

Deep clean

A deep cleaning resets a home before you settle into a routine.

Move-out clean

One scope, priced on the home rather than on how you’d like it configured. No tier to pick and no condition selector.

03 / Deposit

Deposit and the final walkthrough

Our job is to leave the home inspection-ready to the scope above, so nothing on the list is the thing that holds up your walkthrough.

Empty cabinets wiped
Bathroom tile done
Floors mopped after the furniture's out
What we can't do

What we can’t do is decide the outcome. Your deposit is your landlord’s or property manager’s call, based on their own checklist and the condition of the property beyond cleaning.

We’d rather be straight with you about that than sell you a promise we don’t control. What we will do is show up on the date we said and clean to the scope we published.

04 / Apartments

Apartments and rentals

Apartment move out cleaning has its own set of headaches, and most of them are about the building rather than the unit. Tell us at booking about the things that shape the visit.

Your dedicated cleaner works the whole visit, so there’s one person to coordinate with — not a rotating group.

Property managers

Property managers book with us too, on the same path. If you’re handling several units, the quote flow takes them one at a time and the booking record fixes each price.

Rooms skipped unless you check them

Home offices with visible documents or electronics, nurseries, pet sleeping areas, rooms with valuables in view, and anything locked. On a move-out that usually doesn’t apply, but if you’re clearing out in stages, it’s worth a look before you submit.

05 / Move-in

Moving in? Clean before you unpack

A move in cleaning service is the easiest thing you’ll ever schedule and the hardest thing to do later. Once the boxes are in and the shelves are loaded, nobody wants to pull it all out again to wipe the inside of a cabinet.

What move-in cleaning covers

Same fixed scope as the move-out clean: kitchen, bathrooms, every room, floors, reachable surfaces. The difference is the timing — we go in after the previous tenant’s things are out and before yours arrive.

Booking a move-in clean

Same path, same booking minimum. Move in cleaning works best in the window between your keys and your truck, even if that window is a single afternoon. Pick the date in the quote flow and we’ll tell you what’s open.

06 / Price

What it costs

Move-out and move-in cleans start at $299. That’s the booking minimum for moves in all three cities.

What moves the number: the size of the home, how many bathrooms it has, whether it’s a move-in or a move-out, and any add-ons you choose. There’s no pet surcharge on a move, and there’s no plan or commitment attached to the price.

Carpets are a common move-out escalation — carpet cleaning is a separate booking with its own minimum, so check that page if the floors need it too. If you want the full picture on tiers, add-ons and the rest of our pricing, it’s all published.

Either way, you’ll see your figure before you pay anything.

07 / Cities

Move-out cleaning in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley

We work in three cities: San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. That’s the whole map, and keeping it tight is how we make a fixed hand-over date without traffic across two counties deciding your morning.

If your ZIP sits inside one of the three cities, the quote flow will price it. If it doesn’t, it’ll say so rather than take a booking we can’t keep. City-specific pages for Oakland and Berkeley are on the way.

San Francisco

Flats, Edwardians and walk-ups where the stairs matter more than the square footage — tell us the floor and whether there’s street parking.

Oakland

Bungalows to newer apartment blocks, so garage access and building codes are the details we ask about.

Berkeley

Works the same way.

08 / Booking

Booking around your move date

Book against your key-handover date, not your moving-truck date. The truck can run late without costing you anything. The handover can’t.

Holding your slot

Availability in the quote flow is real-time, so what you see is what’s actually open.

When you submit, we hold that time for about 30 minutes while you pay the deposit — held, not confirmed, until the deposit lands.

We never auto-charge the card on file for service.

Two things to know about big moves

A job running over roughly nine hours gets split across two consecutive days, and you’ll see both dates before checkout with one deposit covering the pair.

Anything needing three days or more routes to a custom quote instead — no price, no slot and no charge at that point, just a conversation.

And we don’t offer same-day or rush service, so book before the week of your move.

Need a running list while you pack? Our move-out cleaning checklist lays out what to handle before we arrive.

09 / Limits

What we don't do

Some jobs aren’t ours, at any price, and knowing that now saves you a bad surprise on hand-over day.

Everything else on a normal end-of-tenancy clean is in scope. If you’re unsure where your place lands, describe it in the quote flow and we’ll tell you straight rather than turn up and hedge.

10 / FAQ

Move-out cleaning FAQs

It’s one fixed elevated scope built for an empty or near-empty home. Kitchen counters, backsplash, sink, appliance exteriors, stovetop exterior, cabinet faces and floors. Bathrooms including the toilet, shower, tub and tile, sink, vanity, mirror and floors. Every room dusted, vacuumed, mopped and tidied — all on reachable surfaces, meaning from the floor or a two-step stool, with anything higher excluded.

No, and we won’t tell you otherwise. That decision belongs to your landlord or property manager, and it takes in the whole condition of the property, not just how clean it is. What we do is leave the home inspection-ready to the scope described above.

Empty is best. If furniture is still in place, we can’t reach the surfaces underneath it, and those are usually the ones a walkthrough looks for. We don’t move heavy furniture or appliances, so anything still standing stays where it is.

Move-out and move-in cleans start at $299. The final number depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, whether it’s a move-in or a move-out, and any add-ons you pick. Run it through the quote flow for a firm figure before you pay anything.

Yes, and the best time is before you unpack. It’s the same fixed scope and the same booking path — just aimed at the window between getting your keys and filling the place up.

Work backwards from your key-handover date rather than your truck date, since that’s the deadline that actually costs money. Availability in the quote flow is real-time, so open dates are genuinely open. We don’t offer same-day or rush service, so give yourself a little runway.

Yes — all products and equipment come with us, and there’s nothing for you to buy or leave behind. If you’d rather we used eco/green products, that’s an available preference you can select at booking.

If anything’s not right, tell us within 24 hours and we’ll re-clean the affected areas free. There are no cash refunds, and there’s nothing to argue about — we’d rather come back and finish it. On cancellations: cancel at least 7 days before your clean and your deposit is refunded in full; with less notice, it’s applied toward the cancellation fee. Full detail is on our cancellation policy page.
