Common questions
What is PCS move-out cleaning?
It is a deep clean of a rental home when a military family gets Permanent Change of Station orders and has to move. The goal is to leave the place clean enough to pass the final walk-through and get the deposit back.
Do I need to be moved out before the cleaner comes?
In most cases yes. Cleaners do their best work when the home is empty and every surface is reachable. Ask the pro whether they want the truck loaded first or can work around a few boxes.
Will a move-out clean guarantee I get my deposit back?
No honest pro can promise that, because the deposit decision belongs to your landlord or housing office. A thorough clean removes the cleaning-related reasons a deposit gets held. Ask if they offer a re-clean if the inspection flags something.
What is usually included and what costs extra?
A standard move-out clean covers kitchen, bathrooms, floors, baseboards, and fixtures. Interior windows, carpet shampoo, walls, garages, and exterior areas are often add-ons. Ask for a written list of what is and is not included.
Does on-base or privatized military housing have special rules?
It can. Some housing offices publish a move-out cleaning standard or checklist. Bring that list to the pro so they clean to it, and ask if they have done base housing before.
How far ahead should I book around a PCS move?
Book as soon as you have your walk-through date. Moving season fills up fast near the bases, so a few days to a week of notice is safer, and it leaves room for a re-clean if needed.
What should I ask a cleaner before I hire them?
Ask if they are insured, whether they bring their own supplies, how long the job will take, what the price covers, and whether they will return to touch up anything the inspector flags.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
Usually no. Most move-out crews bring their own products and equipment. Confirm this when you book, and mention anything special like stainless appliances or a delicate floor.
