Are You Moving In or Out of Your Home or Apartment?
Our Cleaning Service Can Make the Transition Seamless
Moving is already demanding. Between packing, scheduling, paperwork, and the stress of moving, cleaning is often the last thing anyone wants to manage. Whether you’re preparing an old home for inspection or getting your new home ready to live in, move-in move-out cleaning is the best way to simplify the transition.
Touch of Europe provides move-in and move-out cleaning services throughout Madison and surrounding communities. Our professional cleaning service is designed to restore a space to a clean, welcoming condition—so homeowners, renters, landlords, and property managers can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
A Cleaning Service Designed for Transitions
Unlike routine house cleaning services, move-in and move-out cleaning focuses on reset—not maintenance. It’s meant to prepare a living space for its next owner, new tenant, or future tenants, or to give you a true fresh start in a new place.
Our cleaning teams work through each room methodically, addressing buildup, wear and tear, and overlooked areas that standard maid service often misses. The result is a home that looks, feels, and functions clean—whether it’s a rental property, a bedroom apartment, or your own home.

FAQs
How long does a typical move-out cleaning take?
The duration of a move-out cleaning varies depending on the size and condition of the property. On average, a thorough move-out clean for a standard 2-3 bedroom home typically takes 4-6 hours. Larger homes or those requiring extra attention may take up to 8 hours or more. Our team will provide a more accurate time estimate after assessing your specific situation.
Will move-out cleaning guarantee I get my full security deposit back?
While our professional move-out cleaning significantly increases the likelihood of receiving your full security deposit, we can’t guarantee it as final decisions rest with landlords or property managers. However, our thorough cleaning meets or exceeds most standard move-out cleaning requirements, addressing all areas typically inspected during final walk-throughs.
Do I need to be present during the move-out cleaning?
It’s not necessary for you to be present during the move-out cleaning. Many clients prefer to provide access to the empty property and let our professional team handle the cleaning. However, if you’d like to be present, you’re welcome to do so. We’ll need clear access to all areas of the home and information about any specific concerns or areas needing extra attention.
Is move-in cleaning necessary if the previous occupants cleaned before leaving?
Even if the previous occupants cleaned before leaving, a professional move-in cleaning is still highly recommended. Our move-in cleaning goes beyond standard cleaning, addressing areas often overlooked and using professional-grade products to sanitize and disinfect the entire space. This ensures you start fresh in a truly clean environment, free from any lingering dust, allergens, or contaminants from previous occupants.
Can you perform move-in cleaning if some of my belongings are already in the new home?
Yes, we can perform move-in cleaning even if some of your belongings are already in the home. However, for the most thorough cleaning, it’s best if we can access as much of the empty space as possible. If you have boxes or furniture already moved in, please ensure they’re consolidated to allow our team to clean around them. We’ll do our best to clean accessible areas thoroughly.
Do you provide cleaning supplies for move-in cleaning, or should I have them ready?
Our professional move-in cleaning service includes all necessary cleaning supplies and equipment. We bring our own professional-grade, eco-friendly products, as well as specialized tools and equipment to ensure a thorough clean. You don’t need to provide any supplies. Just ensure that utilities (water and electricity) are turned on in the property so we can effectively clean and sanitize your new space.
