The Ultimate Move-Out Cleaning Checklist to Get Your Deposit Back

Secure Your Security Deposit

Moving out is exhausting, and cleaning the place you're leaving is usually the last thing you want to do. However, a thorough move-out clean is crucial to getting your security deposit back.

Throughout the House

• Dust everything: Ceiling fans, light fixtures, blinds, and baseboards.
• Wipe down walls: Remove scuff marks using a magic eraser.
• Clean windows: Wash the inside of the windows and wipe down the sills and tracks.
• Floors: Vacuum all carpets thoroughly. Sweep and mop all hard floors.

The Kitchen

• Appliances: Clean inside and out of the refrigerator, oven, and microwave. Pull them out to clean behind them if possible.
• Cabinets: Wipe out all crumbs and spills from inside the cabinets and drawers. Clean the exterior faces.
• Sink: Scrub the sink and polish the faucet.

The Bathrooms

• Tub and Shower: Remove all soap scum and bleach any mildew in the grout.
• Toilet: Clean inside the bowl, under the rim, and the entire exterior, including the base.
• Vanity: Wipe out drawers, clean the sink, and polish the mirror.
