Move-in / Move-Out Cleaning Service Glenrothes

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning Service Glenrothes

A Room-by-Room Reset for a Smooth Start or Stress-Free Exit

Move-related cleaning is different from standard housekeeping. You need a top-to-bottom reset that’s paced sensibly and aligned to the way homes are viewed during arrivals and departures. Our Glenrothes team follows a predictable sequence: kitchens and bathrooms first for effective dwell time, then living spaces and bedrooms from high to low, finishing with internal glass and a careful floor routine. The order prevents re-settling dust and helps the property feel tidy and ready—without wasted movement or guesswork.

Your booking notes guide our plan. Tell us about access arrangements, parking or elevators, any focus areas (for example, limescale on shower glass or a sticky hob), and which add-ons you want to include this time. If you can’t be there, that’s fine—we can confirm arrival and completion so you stay informed even while you’re sorting keys or coordinating a van.

  • Reliable timing: arrival windows that respect handover schedules and moving slots.
  • Structured method: a transparent checklist so you know what’s covered and what’s optional.
  • Flexible extras: oven and fridge/freezer interiors, inside cupboards, carpet attention and more.
  • Clear communication: simple notes, practical expectations and short updates at key moments.

What Our Move-In / Move-Out Clean Typically Includes

The goal is a practical, hygienic presentation that feels ready for new occupants or neat for a handover. The scope below is representative; on the day, we adapt the sequence to your layout and notes:

  • Kitchen reset: worktops, splashbacks, cupboard fronts and—if booked—insides; sink and taps; reachable tiles; appliance exteriors; hob and extractor exterior; floors vacuumed and mopped.
  • Oven interior (add-on): degreasing of cavity, racks and door glass for a tidy, everyday-ready finish.
  • Bathrooms refreshed: taps and basins, WCs, shower areas, limescale reduction on screens, polish of mirrors and chrome, wipe of reachable tiles/grout, floor routine.
  • Living & bedrooms: high-to-low dusting, skirtings, doors/frames, radiators, handles and switches, internal glass and sills, floors completed to finish.
  • Internal windows: wipe of panes and frames where safely reachable from inside.
  • Edges & corners: careful attention in high-traffic areas to present a tidy overall look.

Optional extras: fridge/freezer interiors (please defrost 24 hours prior), inside selected cupboards and drawers, carpet attention (especially stairs/landings), and balcony/porch sweep where safe access exists. If you have sensitivities or prefer fragrance-light options, mention this in your notes so we can plan materials accordingly.

Move-In vs Move-Out: How the Focus Changes

Move-In Focus

On arrival cleans, we emphasise kitchens, bathrooms and touchpoints so you can unpack with confidence. We’ll wipe internal shelves you’ve asked us to address, freshen internal glass, and run a final floor routine to lift dust that can follow trades or removals.

Move-Out Focus

On departure cleans, we concentrate on presentation and the common items noted during walk-throughs—appliance exteriors, hob and splashback, limescale on taps and screens, skirtings and handles, as well as internal windows where reachable.

Flexible Extras

Both scenarios can benefit from optional oven or fridge/freezer interiors, selected cupboards, carpet attention, and balcony/porch tidies. Choose what’s relevant to your property and timeline.

Our Process on the Day

1) Arrival & Brief

We confirm access, review your notes and agree the priorities. Tools are staged to keep walkways clear and to reduce back-tracking.

2) Kitchen & Bathrooms First

Grease and limescale get early attention for better dwell. We wipe reachable tiles, polish mirrors and chrome, and refresh sinks and taps.

3) Living Spaces & Bedrooms

High-to-low dusting, switches and handles, doors and skirtings, radiators, and internal glass. We finish with a steady floor routine.

4) Add-Ons (If Booked)

Oven and fridge/freezer interiors, inside cabinets or carpet attention are completed as scheduled. For freezers, please defrost the day before.

5) Finishing Touches

We check edges and corners, tidy our work area and—if requested—can share completion photos for your records.

6) Updates & Aftercare

If you’re not present, we confirm completion. Should anything reasonable need a second look within the booked scope, contact us promptly.

Materials, Surface Care & Sensitivities

We select products for performance and apply them as directed for the surface—measured amounts, dwell where appropriate, and wipe dry where required. Microfibre cloths and suitable pads protect finishes while achieving a neat, practical result. For stone, wood and modern coatings, we favour a light touch and steady pace over harsh shortcuts.

If you prefer fragrance-light options or have material sensitivities, add this to your notes when booking. Please ensure we can access water and power during the visit and share any building specifics (parking, lifts, entry systems) so we can keep to time.

Popular Add-Ons You Can Toggle Per Visit

Moves vary—some need a swift refresh, others call for deeper attention. Add-ons let you customise the scope without changing everything else:

  • Oven Interior: degreasing of cavity, racks and door glass.
  • Fridge/Freezer Interior: wipe and refresh (defrost freezers 24 hours prior).
  • Inside Cabinets: selected cupboards and drawers on request.
  • Carpet Attention: ideal for stairs, landings and high-traffic lanes.
  • Balcony/Porch Sweep: quick tidy where safe access is available.

You can also pair this service with other options—see “Related Services” below for common combinations that work well during busy weeks.

Booking: Quick, Clear and Online

Our instant quote tool keeps planning simple. Enter your postcode, choose a date that works for your handover, and select optional extras. Include access notes—key safes, entry codes, lifts, parking—and any focus areas you want us to prioritise. We’ll confirm arrival, complete the agreed scope, and let you know when we’re done.

For properties where trades have been on site, mention this in your notes. We can sequence the clean so dust-prone areas are addressed at the right time and internal glass gets a tidy pass before you step through the door with boxes.

No. Many customers provide access details and we confirm arrival and completion. If you prefer a quick walk-through at the end, we’ll schedule it.

How do you set expectations?

We’re practical and upfront. A move clean aims for a tidy, hygienic presentation; outcomes vary with initial condition and chosen scope. Optional extras allow deeper attention where it matters most to you.

Move-In / Move-Out — FAQs

Do I need to be present during the clean?

No. Many customers provide access details in their booking notes. We can confirm arrival and completion remotely, and if you prefer a short walk-through we’ll schedule it around your day.

What’s the difference between this and end-of-tenancy cleaning?

Move-in / move-out is designed for arrivals and departures and can be adapted to your priorities (for example, inside selected cabinets or fridge/freezer). End-of-tenancy follows a similar structure but is framed around typical checkout expectations.

Are appliance interiors included?

Appliance exteriors are included as standard. Interiors—oven and fridge/freezer—are optional add-ons. Please defrost freezers at least 24 hours before the visit.

Can you help on short notice?

Often yes, especially mid-week. Use the live quote tool to see the earliest available dates for your postcode and select the one that suits your move plan.

Do you bring your own materials and tools?

Yes. We bring standard equipment and a measured selection of materials suitable for typical surfaces. If you prefer fragrance-light options, add this to your notes.

How do I get a price?

Enter your postcode in our instant quote tool, choose your date and add any extras you want. You’ll see the price before confirming your booking.
