Move-out cleaning, answered
The questions LA renters, owners, and property managers ask most before turnover.
How much does move out cleaning cost in Los Angeles?
Move in / move out cleaning in Los Angeles typically costs $300–$500 or more, depending on home size and condition. La La Land Cleaning quotes one flat rate based on your home's square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and any add-ons, so your final price depends on the size of your home. You'll receive an upfront, itemized quote before booking — no required in-home estimate.
What's included in a move out clean?
A move out clean is a full deep clean of an empty home: inside all cabinets and drawers, inside the refrigerator and oven, tile and grout, baseboards, closets, and detailed scrubbing of kitchens and bathrooms — everything needed to hand the property back spotless.
Will a move out clean help me get my deposit back?
A professional move out clean addresses exactly what landlords and property managers inspect for — appliances, cabinets, bathrooms, and floors — which gives you the best chance of recovering your full deposit. We can't guarantee a landlord's decision, but we leave the home in turnover-ready condition.
What's the difference between move in and move out cleaning?
They're the same scope of work — a complete deep clean of an empty home — just on either side of a transition. A move out clean prepares a home you're leaving; a move in clean gives you a fresh, sanitized start before you unpack. Both include inside cabinets, fridge, and oven.
Do you clean inside the fridge, oven, and cabinets?
Yes. Unlike a standard clean, move in / move out cleaning includes the inside of empty cabinets and drawers, the refrigerator and freezer, and the oven and stovetop by default — because turnover homes need that detail work.
How long does a move out clean take?
Most move out cleans take longer than a standard visit because of the added appliance and cabinet detail — often 3 to 6 hours depending on the size and condition of the home. Booking before your furniture is fully removed helps the team reach every surface.
