The ultimate move-out cleaning checklist

June 1, 2026 · Alina Mejía Giraldo

Moving is stressful enough without scrubbing an empty home. Use this room-by-room checklist to leave the place spotless and give yourself the best shot at a full deposit return.

Kitchen

  • Inside and outside of all cabinets and drawers.
  • Appliance exteriors (and interiors, oven, fridge, microwave, where required).
  • Countertops, backsplash and sink, descaled and polished.

Bathrooms

  • Toilet, tub, shower and tiles descaled and disinfected.
  • Mirrors, glass and fixtures wiped streak-free.
  • Cabinets emptied and wiped inside and out.

Every room

  • Baseboards, moldings, door frames and light switches.
  • Interior windows, sills and tracks.
  • Cobwebs removed; floors vacuumed and mopped.
