• The prior occupant of the house left the home with less than satisfactory cleanliness.
• You have just purchased a home and wish to have the home completely cleaned and ready on move-in day.
• You are leasing a new apartment and you would like all of the space to be thoroughly cleaned by professionals before you move into the rental unit.
• Painting was done in your new home within the past month; or there were other minor renovations done at some point during the time the home sat empty.
• Kitchens and/or bathrooms need sanitizing before your family can occupy the space.
• A large amount of dust was allowed to accumulate inside the property due to being unoccupied for so long.
• You simply want the assurance that your new home was properly cleaned by a professional.

Move-in Cleaning vs Other Cleaning Services
Are you trying to decide which type of cleaning service is best suited for your needs? This chart will give you a good starting point.
Move-in Cleaning vs Cheap Cleaning Services
Budget-friendly cleaners are primarily designed for people seeking cost-effective general cleaning with minimal expectations as far as what they receive for their money.
Unlike Cheap Cleaning Services, Move-In Cleaning has its focus on the preparation of a home prior to occupation. In addition to providing an initial inspection of the property, it includes a complete detail cleaning of floors, sanitizing kitchens and bathrooms, along with other details that were likely missed by previous occupant(s).
If all you really need is regular inexpensive cleaning, our Cheap Cleaning Services would most likely be the best choice. However, if you are planning to occupy a home in the near future and want to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for your arrival, then Move-In Cleaning will provide the level of detail required for this service.
Move-in Cleaning vs Post Construction Cleaning Services
Post-Construction Cleaning is specifically geared toward newly renovated or remodeled homes. As a result, these types of homes can include construction dust, drywall particles, paint residue and renovation materials from the recent construction activities.
While both services will require extensive cleaning, there are significant differences. Post-Construction Cleaning deals with the specific issues associated with renovation and building activity. On the other hand, Move-In Cleaning is targeted at making homes “move-in” ready.
If your home has recently had some form of renovation or building done, we recommend using our Post-Construction Cleaning Service to address the post-construction mess.
Move-in Cleaning vs Housekeeping Service
The primary function of Housekeeping Service is to assist homeowners in managing their daily household responsibilities through regular scheduled cleanings. Their objective is to keep homes clean and help reduce the responsibility of ongoing household chores.
In contrast, Move-In Cleaning is generally performed once when a customer moves into a new location. It is centered around providing a completely sanitized and clean living space before furniture, boxes, etc., are moved into the home.
A number of customers order Move-In Cleaning initially and ultimately transition to Home Maintenance Service after they begin living in their new home.

What Chicago Residents Say About Our Move-in Cleaning
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“It's hard to think of anything that made this process better than using Sparkly Maid a week or so prior to moving into our new Condo in Chicago. We walked into a sparkling (as always) kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and closets after they were done. That alone has helped make the transition to our new place much smoother and allowed us to relax knowing that everything was going to be clean on Move In Day."
Zoe M. - Chicago IL
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The home appeared clean during our walk through of the property, however, Sparkly Maid took it to a whole other level. They found dust in places we never thought to look and all rooms felt like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend them for your Move-In Cleaning Service!"
James R. - Chicago IL
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I used Sparkly Maid for a Move-In Cleaning for my One Bedroom Apartment in the City. I wanted to have the entire apartment cleaned before I brought in my furniture. Sparkly Maid did an excellent job with the Bathroom, Kitchen and Floors. When I finally got settled in at my new place, it felt like I was moving into a Brand New Home!"

Common Questions About Move-in Cleaning in Chicago
Should I schedule move-in cleaning before or after my belongings arrive?
Pre-move-in cleaning works best to book prior to bringing furniture, boxes, etc. to the property. That way we will be able to get everything cleaned on the surface we can reach.
Is move-in cleaning worth it if the home already looks clean?
A lot of times houses look really nice and there may be some dust, dirt, fingerprints, build-up from previous owners that you just don't see right away.
Do you clean empty apartments, condos, and houses?
Yes. We provide pre-move-in cleanings for Studio Apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, Condominiums, Town Homes and Single Family Homes located anywhere in Chicago.
How long does a move-in cleaning appointment take?
That depends upon how large the space is. A smaller apartment may take a few hours to complete whereas a larger home could take longer depending on how dirty it is.
Can I combine move-in cleaning with recurring cleaning service?
Yes. It is very common for our clients to book a pre-move-in cleaning and then continue to use our company to keep their home clean through regular scheduled appointments.
Do I need to be present during the cleaning?
No. While it would be great to have someone meet our team at the property so they know the crew was here and did the work - it is not necessary. Once we have access to the home many of our clients prefer to have us complete the cleaning prior to them arriving with their belongings.
