Move-In Cleaning Services in the East Bay

Start your new chapter with a clean home

Moving is exciting—but unpacking boxes into a home that needs cleaning is not.

Crib Buddy Maids provides professional move-in cleaning services throughout Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Hayward, Castro Valley, and surrounding East Bay communities.

We'll clean the home before you settle in, giving you a fresh space to start with.

Why schedule a move-in cleaning?

Even a home that looks clean may have dust, dirt, and residue left behind by previous occupants, contractors, or the moving process.

Cleaning before your belongings arrive makes it much easier to reach floors, cabinets, bathrooms, and other areas that become difficult to clean once everything is unpacked.

A move-in cleaning is ideal for:

  • Buying a new home

  • Moving into a rental

  • Moving into an apartment or condo

  • Preparing a newly renovated space

  • Getting settled after a long-distance move

What we clean

Kitchen

We clean accessible kitchen surfaces, including countertops, sinks, cabinet exteriors, appliance exteriors and interiors, backsplashes, and floors.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms receive detailed attention, including toilets, sinks, countertops, showers, tubs, mirrors, fixtures, and floors.

Bedrooms & Living Areas

We dust accessible surfaces, clean floors, vacuum carpets and rugs, and remove dust and debris from the living spaces.

Empty Rooms

An empty home allows our team to access areas that are difficult to reach once furniture and boxes are in place.

Move-in cleaning vs. standard cleaning

Move-in cleaning is designed specifically for an empty or mostly empty home.

Because there is little or no furniture in the way, we can focus on preparing the space before you start unpacking.

If the home has substantial buildup or hasn't been cleaned in a long time, a deep cleaning may be a better option.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I schedule my move-in cleaning?

Ideally, schedule the cleaning after the previous occupants have moved out and before your belongings arrive.

Should the home be empty?

An empty or mostly empty home allows us to clean more thoroughly and reach areas that will be inaccessible after you move in.

Do you clean apartments and condos?

Yes. We provide move-in cleaning for houses, apartments, condos, and other residential properties.

Can you clean a home after renovations?

If the property has construction dust or debris from remodeling, ask about our post-construction cleaning service, which is designed specifically for that situation.
