Cleaned to the standard a landlord, buyer or new tenant will actually judge it against.
A house you live in gets judged by you. A house you are moving out of gets judged by a landlord doing a walkthrough, or a buyer's agent, and that standard is stricter and less forgiving — inside every cabinet and drawer, inside the fridge and oven, closets, baseboards, switch plates, the inside of the microwave. A clean that would be perfectly fine for a Tuesday is not the clean a security deposit gets returned on.
This is exactly the situation where a written checklist matters, because a dispute over a deposit usually comes down to what was and was not covered. Ask for the checklist before the visit, confirm it covers appliance interiors and cabinet interiors specifically, and know that this job takes longer than a recurring visit in the same size house — a quote that does not reflect that is not a real quote.
Tell us the house and the situation and we will match you with a cleaner who does that kind of work.
