Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning on Cape Cod

Whether you're moving into a year-round home or leaving a seasonal one, moving day is easier when the cleaning is already taken care of. Shine Bright offers move-in and move-out cleaning on Cape Cod, in Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee and Sandwich.

What's Included in Every Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning

Move-in and move-out cleaning on Upper Cape Cod follows our Move-In/Move-Out checklist. Every room is cleaned by hand, with a focus on removing build-up, including the drawers, shelves and cabinets that are easiest to reach when a home is empty.

Every move-in and move-out cleaning includes:

Ceiling fans, light fixtures and cobwebs

Baseboards, moldings, woodwork and window sills

Doors, door frames and light switch plates

Drawers, empty shelves and the inside of cabinets

Cabinet fronts, countertops and backsplashes

Stovetop, grates and the inside of the microwave

Bathrooms scrubbed, with tubs, showers and tiles double scrubbed

Floors vacuumed and/or mopped, and stairs vacuumed

Empty, Partially Furnished or Furnished

Not every move starts with an empty house. Some homes still have furniture or built-in appliances, and some are furnished homes between tenants. We work with each situation based on the agreed scope, and every cleaning follows our detailed checklist and established cleaning standards.

Cape homes often change hands around the seasons, and moving dates don't always leave much time. We plan each cleaning around your schedule and can use a secure lockbox, so the home is cleaned even if you're not there.

We provide move-in and move-out cleaning in Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee and Sandwich.
