Start fresh in a home that's truly clean
Nobody wants to spend their last night in an empty apartment scrubbing an oven. Agape Cleaning Services takes care of move-in & move-out cleaning in Palm Desert, CA for tenants handing back keys, landlords turning a unit around, homeowners getting ready to sell, and new residents who would rather unpack into a clean home.
We clean kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cabinets, windows and the corners that usually get skipped, then walk through the finished home with you before we leave.
Every property is different, so we adjust the scope to fit yours. These are the areas we work through in most homes.
Countertops, sinks and cabinets are cleaned inside and out, along with the appliances, including the inside of the oven and refrigerator. Those two are the jobs people most often leave until last, and they're hard to do well in a hurry.
Sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, mirrors and fixtures are scrubbed and disinfected.
Floors are vacuumed, swept and mopped, with extra time spent on corners and baseboards, where dust and grime collect.
We dust the high and awkward spots, including ceiling fans, light fixtures and vents, as well as the surfaces at eye level.
Interior windows are cleaned for a streak-free finish. Cabinets and drawers are wiped down and sanitized inside and out, so nobody ends up lining shelves over someone else's crumbs. If the exterior glass needs attention too, see our window cleaning service.
Trash and unwanted items left behind in the home are removed and disposed of responsibly.
Carpet cleaning and deep grout cleaning can be added to the visit if the property needs them. Repairs, wall patching and repainting are a contractor's job rather than a cleaner's, so if you're handling those, get them finished first and book the clean last.

Move-in & move-out cleaning in Palm Desert, CA gets booked for a few different reasons:
Palm Desert has a large seasonal population and plenty of vacation rentals, which means many homes sit closed up for months at a time. Fine desert dust tends to settle on sills, vents, fan blades and floors, and it shows quickly in an empty home. A move-in clean before you or your guests arrive clears it out before the first box comes through the door.
Many communities here are also gated or HOA-managed. Some have rules about moving hours, vendor access or gate codes, so check with your HOA or property manager and pass those details along when you book. It saves everyone a delay on the day.
Property type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether it's empty or furnished, your move date, and any add-ons such as carpet or grout.
We build the scope and quote around the size and condition of the home.
We schedule around your move, key-return deadline or listing date.
Room by room, from the kitchen and bathrooms through to floors and finishing touches.
Before we finish, we go through the home together so you can point out anything you'd like another look at.

We quote each job individually, because the same three-bedroom house can be a few hours of work or a full day depending on how it's been lived in. The cost of move-in & move-out cleaning in Palm Desert, CA depends on a handful of things:
National cost guides, for context only
That's the range commonly cited for a professional move-out clean, with larger homes and heavy buildup running higher. It's a general range, not our pricing, and local prices vary. Ask any company you're comparing whether its quote is a flat price or an hourly rate, since that changes what you'll end up paying if the job runs long.
A little preparation makes the clean faster and the result better.
Agape is based in Palm Desert, and our move-in and move-out cleaning covers the rest of the Coachella Valley too.

A regular clean maintains a home that's being lived in. A move-out clean is a deeper reset of an empty home, with attention to the inside of the oven, fridge and cabinets, baseboards, vents, fans and bathroom detail. Because the rooms are empty, everything can be reached in one pass.
It depends on the home's size, its condition and any add-ons, so we quote each property individually. National guides commonly cite roughly $250 to $650 for a typical move-out clean. Send us your property details and we'll give you a figure based on the actual job.
Anywhere from a couple of hours for a small, lightly used apartment to most of a day for a large or heavily used house. Ask for a time estimate with your quote, especially if you have a firm key-return deadline.
