Move-In Cleaning in Arlington, MA

Much of Arlington's housing stock predates 1940 — East Arlington two-families, Arlington Heights Victorians, the brick apartment buildings along Mass Ave. Beautiful homes, but decades of occupancy leave residue that a departing tenant's cleaning rarely reaches: dust packed into radiator fins, grime in the seams of original hardwood, the film inside kitchen cabinets nobody has emptied in years. A move-in cleaning is your one chance to deal with all of it while the rooms are still empty.

We build the visit around what an empty house makes possible. Every cabinet, drawer, and closet gets cleaned inside. Appliances you inherited — the oven, the fridge, the dishwasher gasket — get taken apart and scrubbed. Baseboards, window interiors, light fixtures, switch plates, and the tops of door frames all get attention, because these are precisely the surfaces that become unreachable the moment a bookcase goes against the wall.

Timing is the whole game with Arlington move-ins. Closings and lease starts cluster hard around the first of the month, and the gap between getting keys and the truck arriving is often a single day. Tell us when you take possession and we'll work inside that window — including early mornings and weekends — so the cleaning is finished before the first box comes through the door.
