Do I need to be present during a move-out clean?

No, most PJ cleaners can work from an empty unit with keys arranged through the agent or landlord, as long as access is confirmed beforehand.

Will a move-out clean pass my landlord's inspection?

A good cleaner will follow a checklist covering cabinets, window tracks and bathroom fixtures, but ask upfront if your tenancy agreement has specific inspection items so they're included.

How is this different from a normal residential cleaning booking?

It's a one-off full-unit job on an empty space with a fixed scope, rather than a recurring visit around furniture and daily living.

Move-in / move-out cleaning in Petaling Jaya

Move-in and move-out cleaning is a different job from a regular home clean. The unit is usually empty, the checklist is stricter (inside cabinets, window tracks, skirting, exhaust fans, oven if left behind), and there's often a landlord or property agent checking the result against a deposit or handover condition.

This is normally booked as a one-off job with a fixed scope rather than a recurring visit, and it's often requested with a tighter deadline than a standard residential booking because it's tied to a lease date or key handover.

Inside cabinets, drawers, wardrobes and cupboards
Window tracks, grilles, door frames and skirting
Often requested with a specific deadline tied to lease handover or key collection

What it costs

Pricing is usually based on unit size (studio, 2-room, 3-room condo, landed house) rather than an hourly rate, since the whole space gets cleaned regardless of furniture. Units with heavy limescale, leftover renovation dust, or a long-neglected kitchen exhaust will cost more than a routine move-out clean. Ask whether window exterior, sofa or mattress cleaning are included or billed separately.
