Move-Out & Move-In Cleaning in metro Atlanta
A move-out clean has an audience. A landlord with a checklist, a buyer walking through, or an agent deciding whether to mention it. That makes it the one clean where the standard is not how it looks to you, and it is worth buying the right scope rather than the cheaper one.
What it costs
That is the middle half of the move cleans we completed over the last 18 months. It runs above a deep clean because an empty house exposes everything at once, including years of what was behind and underneath things.

Why it costs more than a deep clean
Because the house is empty, and an empty house has nowhere to hide. The floor under a wardrobe that has not moved in six years, the wall behind a fridge, the inside of every cupboard and closet at once.
It also carries interiors that a deep clean might only partly touch: every cabinet and drawer, every appliance, every closet shelf, and the tracks of every sliding door and window.
Sequencing it with the move
Book the clean after the last item is out, not before. A morning clean followed by an afternoon of movers carrying furniture across the floors is the most common way people pay for a move-out clean twice.
Leave a day of slack where you can. Closing dates and truck arrivals slip constantly, and a booking with no margin turns a two hour delay into a cancelled slot. Month end is the tightest part of the calendar because leases and closings cluster there, so a week of notice is worth more then than at any other time.
If a deposit depends on it
Say so when you book. It changes what gets prioritised, and it means we treat the property inspection standard as the bar rather than a general sense of clean.
If your landlord or agent has given you a checklist, send it. Working to their list is far more reliable than working to ours and hoping the two overlap.
Move-in is a different job
Cleaning a home you are moving into is about the previous occupant rather than about you, and it is worth doing in the gap between getting keys and unloading the truck. That is the only time the house will ever be empty and reachable.
Priorities are different too: cabinet and closet interiors before you fill them, bathrooms, appliance interiors, and the floor edges that furniture is about to cover for years.

My jaw is still on the floor. My house is impeccable, Gloria and Megan were the unstoppable team that made my house sparkle. I will be a forever customer here.
The entire team is fantastic. Scheduling is a breeze and super flexible. The house always looks and smells great! Definitely have become a regular!
I had a wonderful experience with everyone that came into my home to do the cleaning. They did a great job cleaning and was very respectful, I highly recommend Colombian cleaning and I will definitely use the cleaning service again.
Mrs Angel and Mrs Karen did an awesome job with my home. They paid close attention to details floors, kitchen and bathroom countertops spotless . When I came home from work I felt as if I was on my own vacation retreat. Very polite efficient and fast when they came in they advised a cleaning plan and executed it no time to waste. The entire company from Mrs Paula customer service she assured me that I was in great hands . I would definitely definitively recommend Colombian Cleaning Company 5 stars ladies keep up the great work.
Mercedes from Colombian Cleaning arrived on time after me having to reschedule our moving-related cleaning. We wanted our house with furniture cleaned as if it was never lived in. We have 3 Large Dogs 2 of which get hair all over the place. I’m disabled and my husband and I work all the time. So those baseboards and walls get extra dirty because I can’t bend down to clean them. The pet hair can get overwhelming . I was embarrassed at first but she came in, I explained what we needed and she was so reassuring that she could tackle the biggest of jobs. She moved fast, quietly and when I tell you my house smells like MAGIC, I mean it. I’ve requested her every other Friday. She was very comfortable to be around and brought such positive energy with her. Meanwhile, our house is sparkly and clean and I feel like I can finally relax. The Miko who booked us was amazing as well. Very responsive and even through text could tell that they had a passion to help. When Miko had a day off, Jeff stepped right in and gave the same phenomenal service. 10/10 would recommend. Just don’t request her the same time I do on Friday :)
