You’re already juggling enough during your move. The last thing you need is losing hundreds of dollars from your security deposit because the cleaning wasn’t up to your landlord’s standards.
Our move out cleaning service handles the deep cleaning that landlords actually check for. We’re talking about the baseboards, inside appliances, bathroom grout, and all those spots that regular cleaning misses. The kind of thorough work that makes property managers nod in approval during final inspections.
When we’re done, you’ll have one less thing to worry about during your move. More importantly, you’ll have the confidence that comes from knowing the job was done right. Most of our clients get their full deposit back, and that money goes straight toward your new place.
Team Alpha Cleaning Services is a family-run business that understands the Berlin rental market inside and out. We’ve worked with enough landlords and property managers to know exactly what they inspect during final walkthroughs.
We’re bonded and insured, which means you’re protected if anything goes wrong. But more than that, we’re local to Berlin, so we understand the rental market here and what tenants are dealing with when they move.
Our team brings professional-grade equipment and supplies to every job. You don’t need to worry about having the right products or tools – we handle all of that. We’re not a national franchise with rigid policies – we’re your neighbors who understand that every move-out situation is different.
First, we schedule your cleaning around your moving timeline. We know you’re juggling a lot, so we work with your schedule, not against it. The ideal timing is after you’ve moved all your belongings out but before your final inspection with the landlord.
On cleaning day, our team arrives with everything needed to deep clean your empty rental. We follow a comprehensive checklist that covers every area landlords typically inspect – kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards, windows, appliances, and more.
We clean appliances inside and out, scrub bathrooms from top to bottom, and ensure floors are spotless. Our systematic approach ensures we address the cleaning issues that most commonly lead to security deposit deductions. After completion, you get a clean property that’s ready for inspection and gives you the best chance at getting your full deposit back.

Our move out cleaning covers every area that affects your security deposit return. Kitchens get deep cleaning including inside appliances, cabinet fronts and interiors, countertops, and backsplashes. We clean inside ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves because these are the first things landlords check during final inspections.
Bathrooms receive thorough attention with tile scrubbing, fixture polishing, and grout cleaning. We clean all rooms from ceiling fans to baseboards, including window sills, light switches, and outlet covers. Floors get appropriate treatment whether they’re hardwood, tile, or carpet.
Berlin landlords have specific expectations based on their experience with previous tenants. We also handle often-forgotten areas like inside closets, pantries, and storage spaces. Most Berlin apartments take 3-5 hours for complete move out cleaning, while houses typically require 4-7 hours depending on size and condition. We work efficiently but thoroughly, focusing on quality results rather than speed.
Pricing depends on the size of your rental and how much cleaning is needed, but most move out cleaning jobs in Berlin range from $200-400. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
The investment usually pays for itself when you get your full security deposit back. Most deposits in our area are $800-1500, so professional cleaning makes financial sense. We also offer first-time customer discounts to help offset moving costs, making our service even more affordable for Berlin residents.
Yes, inside appliance cleaning is included in our move out service. We clean inside ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves because these are the first things landlords check during final inspections.
Oven cleaning alone can save your deposit – landlords often charge $100-200 for professional oven cleaning if you don’t handle it yourself. We remove racks, scrub away baked-on grease, and make sure everything looks like new. This thorough appliance cleaning is often what makes the difference between getting your full deposit back versus losing hundreds in deductions.
We recommend scheduling at least one week before your move-out date, especially during busy moving seasons like summer months. This gives us flexibility to work around your moving timeline and ensures we have availability when you need us.
The ideal timing is after you’ve moved all your belongings out but before your final inspection with the landlord. This timing ensures we can access every surface without working around boxes and furniture. We can often accommodate last-minute requests, but advance scheduling works better for everyone and guarantees your preferred time slot.
While we can’t guarantee deposit return (landlords can deduct for damage beyond normal wear and tear), our thorough cleaning addresses the most common reasons deposits get withheld. Poor cleaning accounts for about 60% of deposit deductions in our experience.
We follow a detailed checklist that covers everything property managers typically inspect, and most of our clients do get their full deposits back. Our systematic approach ensures we address the cleaning issues that most commonly lead to security deposit deductions in Berlin’s rental market. When landlords see professional-quality cleaning, they’re much more likely to return deposits in full.
Remove all personal belongings, furniture, and decorations before we arrive. This includes items from closets, cabinets, storage areas, and any outdoor spaces we’ll be cleaning. The emptier the space, the more thorough cleaning we can provide.
Clear access to all rooms, and leave utilities connected so we have water and electricity for our equipment. If there are any specific areas of concern or special instructions from your landlord, let us know when scheduling. Most Berlin properties are ready for our team within a few hours of your final belongings being removed.
Yes, we’re bonded and insured, which means you’re protected if anything goes wrong during the cleaning process. This coverage gives you peace of mind knowing that both your property and our work are protected.
Being bonded and insured also demonstrates our professionalism to landlords and property managers in Berlin. Many property managers actually prefer tenants who use bonded and insured cleaning services because it reduces their liability concerns. This professional credential often helps during final inspections and can contribute to smoother deposit returns.
