Move In Cleaning St. Louis
Move In Cleaning St. Louis addresses the accumulated bio-load that furniture conceals for years—dust lines, appliance residue, and cabinet buildup require systematic remediation.
From new homes in Chesterfield Valley to historic properties in Kirkwood and condos in Clayton—empty spaces reveal every detail. Dust in cabinet corners. Grime behind where the fridge sat. Residue in closets. Our HEPA H13 filtration captures 0.3-micron particles while hospital-grade sanitization eliminates what years of furniture concealed—so you move into a truly clean space, or leave one behind.

Why Empty Homes Need Special Attention
Furniture hides years of buildup. Once it's gone, everything shows.
Hidden Dust Revealed
Under beds, behind sofas, beneath dressers—years of dust that regular cleaning never reached. We HEPA vacuum every inch.
Cabinet Interiors
Previous owners' crumbs, spills, and shelf liner residue. We clean inside every cabinet, every drawer, every closet shelf.
Appliance Deep Clean
Inside the oven, behind the fridge, under the stove. Previous food residue, grease buildup, forgotten spills.
Wall & Baseboard Marks
Furniture rub marks, scuff lines, dust shadows on walls. We spot-clean walls and hand-wipe every baseboard.
Window Tracks & Sills
Dead bugs, dust, pollen buildup in tracks. We clean window tracks so they slide freely and look presentable.
Bathroom Deep Sanitize
Previous occupants' bathroom. Steam sanitization, grout cleaning, mold treatment. Start fresh, not inherited.
Tenant & Landlord Move-Out Standards: The Deposit Shield
Are tenants responsible for cleaning when moving out? Yes—and landlords withhold deposits for dust in vents and grease behind stoves. Our "Deposit Shield" protocol guarantees these specific failure points are remediated: inside ovens, behind fridges, window tracks, and exhaust fans—the exact areas landlords check during final walkthroughs.
- Inside oven racks & door glass
- Behind/under refrigerator (coil area)
- Window tracks & sills
- Cabinet interiors & drawer slides
- Baseboard dust lines
- Exhaust fan grilles

Why Standard Cleaning Fails Luxury Homes
Bio-load accumulates in the spaces standard cleaners skip—behind appliances, inside HVAC vents, under furniture. Without extraction, these contaminants circulate continuously through your home's air.
The Hidden Bio-Load Problem
Dust mites, pet dander, and allergens concentrate behind appliances and in HVAC systems. Standard cleaning pushes them around; HEPA extraction removes them permanently.
0.3-Micron Particle Capture
Our HEPA H13 filtration captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns—the most penetrating particle size. This includes dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria.
275°F Steam Sanitization
High-temperature steam kills bacteria, viruses, and mold without chemicals. Essential for bathrooms, kitchens, and anywhere biofilms accumulate.
