Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning in Stanford
Stanford moves run on the academic calendar — a lease that ends when the quarter does, a summer turnover, a sabbatical year abroad. Amiga times the clean to your key-return date with the same inspection-ready checklist either way: inside cabinets, window tracks, baseboards. Choose the add-ons your situation needs.
Pricing
Price is calculated from your home size, number of bathrooms, scenario, and the add-ons you choose. Move-out usually prices a bit higher than move-in because the default scope is heavier. Use the quote tool for an exact number.
Walkthrough photos or video required before final booking confirmation.

Optional add-onA Note on Surface Limitations
We're honest about what cleaning can and can't do:
Watermarks and rings cannot be removed from countertops. Cabinet odors that have become ingrained may require multiple cleaning sessions. Our team will identify burnt grease, grout stains, and mineral buildup and let you know what additional treatment can address.
Hard water marks and calcium buildup on fixtures, shower doors, and tub surfaces may require multiple sessions to significantly reduce. Discoloration or finish deterioration on tubs and shower floors will still appear stained after cleaning — this reflects surface damage, not a missed step. We will flag stained grout and any caulk with underlying mold, and recommend replacement.
We do not move furniture over 10 lbs or appliances. We do not pack personal belongings or move valuables or electronic equipment. Homes with excessive clutter or hoarding conditions require a separate quote.
Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning in Stanford
Moves in the Stanford community cluster hard around the academic calendar: late-summer turnovers before autumn quarter, end-of-quarter departures, and year-long sabbaticals that put a household's home into someone else's hands. Those dates don't flex — the movers, the walkthrough, and the flight are usually already booked. We schedule the clean into that fixed window.
For move-out cleans, inside cabinets, ceiling fans, and inside refrigerator are bundled by default — the items property managers check first at turnover. Add oven and interior windows in the quote flow if your agreement requires them. We clean private residences only; we're not affiliated with Stanford University and don't service dorms or university housing offices.
For move-in cleans, you're setting a baseline before your belongings arrive — often the smart move if you're landing days before a quarter starts and won't have another empty-house window for a year. Inside cabinets are an optional add-on for move-in; select them if the home needs it.
Stanford logistics note
You don't need to be present — many Stanford move-out clients have already left the state or the country by clean day. A key or lockbox code at booking is enough; we text on arrival and completion. Late summer is the crunch: if your move tracks the autumn-quarter start, book the clean when you book the movers.
Why Amiga in Stanford
A Stanford move usually has a date that cannot slip — the quarter starts, the sabbatical flight leaves, the next household arrives. We plan the clean backward from that date and work from a written checklist covering what turnover inspections actually check: inside cabinets, window tracks, baseboards, switch plates. No improvising against a deadline.
Pricing is upfront before we start. The quote flow shows the scenario, the add-ons, and the price, and we hold to it — no surprise upcharges after the work is done. If the property manager flags a checklist item within 24 hours, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Amiga is owner-operated, and because Stanford sits beside our Palo Alto routes, a fixed-date clean here is routine scheduling, not a special trip. Key or lockbox handoff at booking, a text when we arrive and finish, and before/after photos on request — useful when you're settling a deposit from another time zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between move-in and move-out cleaning?
The checklist family and quote flow are the same — window tracks, baseboards, closet floors, and more. The difference is bundling and intent: for move-out, inside cabinets are bundled by default (landlords check them); for move-in, they're an optional add-on since you may not need them. Move-out usually prices a bit higher than move-in because the default scope is heavier.
How much does move-out cleaning in Stanford cost?
Price depends on your home size and which add-ons you choose. Use the quote tool for an exact number. Inside cabinets, ceiling fans, and inside refrigerator are bundled by default. Optional add-ons include inside oven, interior windows, inside freezer, and more.
Can you clean on a hard move-out date tied to the academic calendar?
Yes — that's most of what we do in Stanford. Summer turnovers, end-of-quarter departures, and sabbatical moves usually come with a fixed key-return date. Tell us the date and we'll schedule the clean between your movers and the walkthrough. Booking a couple of weeks ahead matters most in late summer, when everyone moves at once.
What's included by default in a move-out clean?
Deep-clean baseline scope (baseboards, window sills, light fixtures, cabinet fronts, inside microwave, ceiling fans, inside refrigerator) plus inside all cabinets and drawers, window tracks and frames, closet floors, detailed baseboard scrubbing, and light switch plates. Oven and interior windows are available as add-ons.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
Not at all — helpful if you've already left town. Provide a key or lockbox code at booking. We text when we arrive and when we finish. Before/after photos are available on request with consent — useful if there's a deposit dispute after a long-distance move.
