Cabinets, drawers and appliances, inside and out
Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning in Middle Tennessee
Start or end your move with a fresh, clean home. Clean Space cleans empty homes across Middle Tennessee, inside the cabinets and appliances as well as out.
Chapter 01
Why an empty house is cleaned differently
A furnished home hides its cabinets behind couches and its baseboards behind beds. A house between owners hides nothing. Once the furniture is out, the inside of every cabinet, drawer and appliance is the first thing a buyer, landlord or new tenant opens, so Clean Space cleans a move differently from a regular visit. The goal is to start or end your move with a fresh, clean home, from McMinnville to anywhere in Middle Tennessee.
Dusting is thorough and goes top to bottom, high surfaces first, because dust falls. Floors are vacuumed or swept and mopped last, so nothing gets walked back across a finished floor. Light switch plates are cleaned and sanitized, patios, porches and balconies are swept, and all garbage is emptied into the outdoor bin. An empty room shows every scuff and smudge, so the order of work matters more here than anywhere else.

Kitchen and bathroom, inside and out
The kitchen is where a move is judged. Cabinets and drawers are cleaned inside and out, so crumbs and old rings come out of the places the next person will open first. The stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and microwave are cleaned inside and out, and the dishwasher door is cleaned. Countertops and sinks are cleaned and disinfected, and the faucets and fixtures are shined.
The bathroom gets the same two-sided treatment. Cabinets and drawers are cleaned inside and out, mirrors and countertops are cleaned, sinks are cleaned, tubs and showers are scrubbed, toilets are cleaned, and faucets and fixtures are shined. Reaching the inside of cabinets and drawers is the real difference from a standard visit, and it is the detail that makes a bathroom feel new to the next person instead of used.

Add-ons and getting the timing right
Three add-ons can finish the job: interior window cleaning, wall cleaning, and Top-to-Bottom Detail. Wall cleaning and the detail work matter most in a home that has been lived in for years, when handprints and buildup have settled in around doors, door frames and window casings. Ask for them when you request your quote, and the quote will include them.
Timing is the part people underestimate. Utilities need to be on when we arrive: a lack of running utilities can affect the price, and a tub cannot be scrubbed without water. Plan access too, with a lockbox, a hidden key or a garage code, since we work on a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule and do not need you there. If you are on site, we are happy to do a final walk-through.
Closing dates and move dates shift, so know the cancellation policy before you book. A cancellation made less than 48 hours before the scheduled service carries a $60 cancellation fee. Call or text (615) 437-2477 as soon as a date changes, so the fee never catches you off guard. Pricing is by free quote, and any adjustment is discussed and approved with you before we proceed, so you always know what the clean will cost before the cleaners arrive.

The day of the move
Five things to tick before we arrive.
Get these right and the clean runs the way it should. Not sure about one? Call or text (615) 437-2477, or request a quote and tell us about the place.
- Utilities on. Running water and power make the clean possible. A lack of running utilities can also affect the price.
- Access arranged. A lockbox, a hidden key or a garage code works. We work a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule and do not need you at the door.
- Furniture and large appliances left to you. We do not move furniture or large appliances, so get them out, or tell us what stays, before the visit.
- Add-ons chosen up front. Interior windows, wall cleaning and Top-to-Bottom Detail go on the quote, not on the day.
- A phone within reach. We are available by phone during the visit, and if you are on site we are happy to do a final walk-through.
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled service carry a $60 cancellation fee. If the closing date moves, call us as soon as you know.
