Move-Out Cleaning in McKinney, TX: How to Get Your Deposit Back

What landlords tend to check

Every landlord is different, and your lease is the real rulebook. But walkthroughs tend to focus on the same places:

• The inside of the oven and fridge
• Cabinets and drawers
• Bathrooms, especially tubs, showers and toilets
• Baseboards, light switches and door frames
• Floors

Those are also the spots that get skipped when you're cleaning at midnight after the movers leave. Walls and carpets matter too, but those usually come down to damage and wear rather than cleaning.

Texas deposit basics

In Texas, a landlord generally has 30 days after you move out to refund your deposit or send an itemized list of deductions. They can deduct for damage and for charges you owe under the lease, but not for normal wear and tear. Give your landlord your forwarding address in writing, since they don't have to send anything until they have it.

That's general information, not legal advice. Your lease has the details that apply to you. If it requires a professional cleaning, keep the receipt with your records.

What our move-out cleaning in McKinney includes

A move-out clean is a deep clean done in an empty home, with the inside of the oven, fridge, cabinets and drawers included in the price. We wipe baseboards, doors, door frames and light switches, scrub the bathrooms top to bottom, and vacuum and mop the floors. The full list is on our move-in and move-out cleaning page.

A McKinney renter who used us put it plainly:

“Used them for a move-out clean in McKinney and got my full deposit back. Landlord specifically asked who cleaned it.”

We can't promise what a landlord decides, since they also look at damage and wear. A thorough clean gives you the best shot at no cleaning charges.

Timing and access

Schedule the clean after your last box is out and before the walkthrough. Keep the water and power on, and tell us how to get in. You don't need to be there. We text you photos when we finish, and they're worth keeping with your move-out records. Already out of town by then? That's fine. Tell us how to get in, and the photos show you the finished place.

If you spot something after we leave, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and redo it free.

Keep a record

Photos protect you. Take your own pictures of every room after the clean, keep the photos we text you, and hold on to your move-in inspection report if you have one. If a landlord disputes something later, dated photos make that conversation a lot shorter.

Keep in mind that a clean house doesn't cover everything. Holes in walls, broken blinds, carpet stains and unpaid fees are separate from cleaning. A thorough clean takes care of the part a cleaner can control.

What it costs

Move-out cleans are priced by square footage. A home up to 1,200 square feet is $299, a 1,200 to 1,800 square foot home is $349, and a 1,800 to 2,500 square foot home is $425. Homes over 4,000 square feet get a custom quote, and prices are before Texas sales tax. Interior windows are a $60 add-on if you want the glass done, and same-day booking adds $50 when we have an opening. Every size is on our pricing page. Book your move-out clean or text (945) 294-3935.
