What does move-in/move-out cleaning cover?
When you take over a new home, whether a flat in a block or a stand-alone villa, you usually find traces of builders and finishing dust on the floors, walls and windows, or marks left by the previous occupants in the kitchen, the bathrooms and the cupboards. That layer does not come off with a quick wipe.
The hardest part of this kind of cleaning is the fine dust that settles inside cupboards, along window ledges and in ventilation openings. It is dust that works its way through small gaps while the property sits empty. The kitchen needs its cupboards cleaned from the inside, the cooker and the extractor sorted before you use them. The bathrooms need the tiles, basins and drains cleaned before the space truly feels yours.
Call or WhatsApp us and tell us your district, the size of the property and what you have noticed in it, whether you are asking for villa move-in cleaning or need to hand a flat back to the landlord, and we agree a time that works for you.
These are the parts the cleaning goes through in a move-in or move-out property, and the detail varies with the condition of the place and what you need.
- Floors and walls
Floors are swept and mopped thoroughly, including the edges and corners where finishing dust collects, and walls are cleaned of marks and stains left behind.
- Kitchen inside and out
Kitchen cupboards are cleaned inside and out, along with the worktops, the sink, the extractor, and the cooker, because these surfaces carry the previous occupants' residue or construction dust.
- Bathrooms and drains
Tiles, basins, mirrors, drains and toilets are cleaned thoroughly, because a used bathroom needs more than a surface wipe before it feels comfortable.
- Windows and frames
Window glass is wiped from the inside, along with the frames and sill edges, where dust packs into the channels and tracks and is one of the first things you notice in an empty property.
- Built-in cupboards
Built-in cupboards are wiped inside and out, including shelves and drawers, because dust settles in them while the property stands empty and stays there unless it is deliberately removed.
- Fixtures and vents
Door handles, switch plates and ventilation covers are cleaned of finishing dust or use marks, and these small details are what make the home feel genuinely ready.

Questions about Move-in / move-out cleaning
My home is straight from the contractor, does it need cleaning before I move in?
Yes, a new home is not necessarily a clean one. Plaster, marble and paint dust settles on the floors, inside cupboards and along window frames, and sometimes stays in ventilation openings. This kind of dirt is different from everyday use and needs an approach suited to construction residue.
I am handing my flat back to the landlord, what needs to be cleaned?
A landlord typically expects the flat handed back clean in every part: floors, bathrooms, the kitchen including the cupboards inside, windows and built-in wardrobes. Any visible mark on the walls, tiles or extractor will be noticed on inspection, which is why the move-out clean covers all of these.
What is the difference between move-in/move-out cleaning and deep cleaning?
Move-in/move-out cleaning focuses on an empty or near-empty property where every surface and corner is accessible without furniture in the way, with the aim of making the place ready to use. Deep cleaning is usually done in a furnished, lived-in home. The details of each situation are agreed when you call.
Does the home need to be completely empty of furniture?
The emptier the home, the more thorough the clean, because reaching corners, walls and cupboards is easier without furniture. If heavy pieces remain, tell us when you call so we can agree on what can be reached and what cannot.
What should I check after move-in or move-out cleaning is done?
Start with the windows and their tracks where dust packs in, then open the cupboards and check the shelves inside, then the kitchen including the inside of the extractor and the oven, and finally the bathrooms, especially the grout lines between tiles and the drains. These are the most detailed areas in a move property.
What affects how much work the job involves?
The scope varies with the size of the property and the number of rooms, bathrooms and kitchens, and with its condition: a newly finished home differs from a flat lived in for years. Access to certain areas also has an effect. All these details are agreed when you call and explain the situation.
Does villa move-in cleaning differ from cleaning a flat before moving in?
A villa usually means a larger space with multiple floors, and possibly an annexe, outdoor entrances and a courtyard. That means more areas to clean and a wider variety of surfaces. The steps are the same, but the details and the arrangement are agreed when you call and describe the villa's size and condition.
Do you clean an apartment before moving in An Nukhbah?
Yes, we serve all districts of Riyadh, including An Nukhbah. Call us and tell us where the apartment is, the floor and how many rooms, and we agree a time that suits you and remove all building dust, paint and debris from every surface before you move in.
What should we tell you about the apartment when we move out?
Tell us the number of rooms and how you wish to hand the apartment back, and any areas needing special attention such as different surfaces or fixtures. We will agree with you on a cleaning time and arrangement that suits you.
