Move-out cleaning
Move out cleaning in Ottawa, done to the standard it gets inspected against.
Move out cleaning in Ottawa is not a normal clean done to an empty house. It is a different job with a different list, because somebody is about to walk through with a clipboard.
The difference
An empty house hides nothing.
When the furniture goes, everything it was covering becomes visible: the rectangle of clean floor where the wardrobe stood, the dust line behind the sofa, the marks on the wall behind the bed. A regular clean is not built to deal with any of that, and a landlord’s inspection is built to find it.
So this is a longer job with a fixed list, and the list is the same one a property manager works from.

Allow most of a day for a two-bedroom. Book it for after the movers, not before — cleaning around boxes is cleaning twice.

What people said about this one.
Invented, like every review on this site. Written to show the page, not to report anyone’s experience.
Got the full deposit back. The property manager actually commented on the oven.

Moving out of a rental with a landlord I'd describe as attentive. Booked the move-out clean mostly defensively. Inspection took about four minutes and he didn't find anything, which given the previous three years of correspondence was a small miracle.
Worth every dollar for that alone.
