What this involves
If you're moving out of a rental in Salt Lake County, a move-in and move-out cleaning from Magic Castle Cleaning is built around what a landlord actually checks at final walkthrough, not a quick wipe-down the night before you hand over the keys. We go through every cabinet interior, every appliance, every baseboard, and every bathroom fixture the same way a property manager's checklist does. We carry $2,000,000 in general liability insurance and background-check every cleaner we send, so the person going through your old home is accountable, not a stranger off a gig app. Call (801) 618-2548 for a free quote before your move-out date.
Rental turnover moves fast along the apartment corridors near the University of Utah and down State Street, and landlords here routinely deduct cleaning costs from a security deposit when a unit isn't left in move-in condition. A professional clean is usually cheaper than what gets held back. We handle the move-in side the same way: inside drawers and closets, light fixtures, kitchens and bathrooms gone over before you unpack, so you start in a home that's actually clean rather than just vacated. We serve tenants, landlords and property managers throughout Salt Lake, Davis and Utah counties.
What's Included
What a Move-In or Move-Out Clean Covers, Room by Room
Built to satisfy a property manager's checklist, not just to look good from the doorway.

Inside every cabinet and drawer, inside the oven, fridge and microwave, stovetop, range hood, countertops and sink. Nothing left for the next occupant to find.
- 02
Bathrooms
Full scrub of tubs, showers and toilets, including the base and behind the seat. Mirrors, vanities and fixtures polished, floors mopped.

Baseboards, light fixtures, closet interiors and shelving, switch plates, and every wall spot-checked. Carpets vacuumed; hard floors swept and mopped.
- 04
Whole-Home Finish

Our Process
How Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Works
Three steps from booking to a home that's genuinely ready for the next person.
We Clean Before Keys Change Hands
Our background-checked cleaners bring all their own supplies and work the full checklist, top to bottom, room by room. You don't need to be there for it.
Walk Through With Confidence
If anything doesn't meet your landlord's standard, just point it out in the final walkthrough so the cleaners can make sure you're 100% happy before they leave. That's the actual policy, not fine print.
Why It Matters
Built for Renters, Landlords and Property Managers
Move-out and move-in cleaning solves two different problems for two different people, and we handle both.
Deposit Protection
Most landlords in Salt Lake County will deduct cleaning costs from a deposit when a unit isn't left in move-in condition. A professional clean usually costs less than what gets withheld.
Fast Turns for Property Managers
Property managers turning over rentals between tenants need it done fast and done right. We work around tight turnaround windows so the unit is ready for the next move-in.
A Clean Start, Not Just a Clean Exit
Moving into a new place is easier when the cabinets, drawers and bathrooms are already clean before the boxes arrive. We do the same thorough pass on move-in as we do on move-out.
Pairs With Deep Cleaning
Combine it with a deep clean if the home needs more than the standard move checklist, or set up recurring service once you're settled in.
Straight Answers About Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning
What's included in a move-out cleaning?
Every cabinet and drawer inside and out, inside the oven, fridge and microwave, full bathroom scrub including the toilet base, baseboards, light fixtures and window sills throughout the home. It's built around what a landlord actually checks at final walkthrough, not a surface-level wipe-down.
Do you clean empty homes, or does it need to be occupied?
Yes. We clean occupied or empty homes, but an empty home lets us move faster and reach every surface without working around furniture and boxes. If you can schedule the clean after your things are out, it's usually the more thorough result. Either way, we ask that someone's available at the start to walk through the space with us, and again for a final walkthrough once we finish, since move-out cleans are one-time visits, that's when you can point out anything that needs attention before we leave.
How long does a move-in or move-out clean take?
Most 1 to 3 bedroom units run 2 to 4 hours; larger homes or units with heavier buildup take longer. We'll give you a straight time and cost estimate once we know the size and condition of the space.
Do you work with property managers and landlords, not just individual tenants?
Yes. We regularly work with property managers turning over rental units between tenants across Salt Lake, Davis and Utah counties, and we can work around tight turnaround windows.
