Starting Clean in a New Richardson Home
The window between getting keys to a Richardson home and the truck backing into the driveway is usually short and always valuable. An empty house is the one and only time every cabinet interior, every closet shelf and every inch of floor is reachable at once. That window closes the moment boxes go down.
What the previous household left behind is rarely visible on a walkthrough. Crumbs at the back of a pantry shelf, adhesive residue where hooks came off a closet door, a medicine cabinet nobody emptied properly, and the sticky film inside kitchen drawers that only shows once you run a hand across it.
Richardson gets a steady flow of arrivals. Engineers relocating for a role along US-75, families landing at DFW from overseas with a lease signed sight unseen, faculty starting at UT Dallas in August, and residents trading a rental for their first house a few streets away.
A move-in clean here is scoped for an empty property, so the work goes inside things rather than around them. Cabinets and drawers wiped inside and out, closet shelving cleaned, the pantry floor mopped, appliance surfaces degreased, bathrooms disinfected including grout, and baseboards and door frames done throughout.
Timing matters more than anything else on this job. Tell us the closing date or lease start and we will schedule for the empty day, coordinate with a leasing office or an agent when access needs arranging, and finish before your movers show up.

When Richardson Homes Need a Move-In Clean
1The Day Between Closing and the Truck
Book the empty morning. Cabinet interiors and closet shelves are reachable exactly once, and it is before anything gets carried in.
2Relocating for a Role on the Corridor
If you are flying in days before you start, arriving to a finished house means the first week goes into the job instead of a mop.
3Arriving From Overseas
Households landing at DFW with a house chosen from photographs deserve to walk into something genuinely clean, not merely swept.
4Taking Over a Rental Near Campus
Turnover cleans done by a departing tenant are inconsistent at best. A proper move-in clean settles what condition you actually inherited.
5Before the Nursery or the Baby Arrives
Disinfected bathrooms, clean closet shelving and mopped floors before the crib goes up is far easier than working around it later.

What Our Customers Say
“We closed on a Thursday and the truck came Friday morning. They cleaned the whole empty house Thursday afternoon, including every closet shelf. Unpacking into clean cabinets was worth every cent.”
Nandini M.
Cottonwood Heights, Richardson
“I relocated for a job and had four days between landing and my start date. Booked from another time zone, paid online, walked into a finished house. Nothing about it was complicated.”
Radomir K.
Telecom Corridor, Richardson
“The apartment looked fine at the walkthrough and was not. There was old residue in every kitchen drawer. They got all of it out before I moved a single box in.”
Clementine A.
CityLine, Richardson
“We arrived in August for a position at the university with a lease signed from overseas. Having the place professionally cleaned before we opened the door made a difficult week much easier.”
Xavier N.
UT Dallas, Richardson
“Bought our first house two streets from the rental we were leaving. The pantry and the bathroom grout in particular went from questionable to genuinely clean. Thorough people.”

Move-In Cleaning in Richardson: Common Questions
Move-in cleaning generally runs $160 - $450+. A one-bedroom apartment near CityLine before a lease start sits at the low end, while a four-bedroom Cottonwood Heights ranch with three baths, a pantry and a wall of closets reaches the top.
Three to seven hours depending on size, usually with a team of two or three. Cleaning inside every cabinet, drawer and closet is what makes this longer than a standard visit.
Empty is ideal and gives you the best result for the money. We can still work around furniture in a partially occupied home, though closet and cabinet interiors will only be done where they are accessible.
Appliance exteriors, the microwave inside and out, the stovetop and the hood vent are included. Full refrigerator and oven interiors are available as add-ons and are worth it in a home the previous owners left as-is.
Yes, and it is common here. Arrange access through your agent, a lockbox or the leasing office, and we will send confirmation once the work is finished so you know what you are landing to.
About a week gives the most choice of times, and moving season around May and August fills fastest. Call anyway if your date is sooner, since short-notice slots do open up.
