You’re not just getting the keys to an empty house. You’re getting a fresh start in a space that’s actually clean.
Most previous owners don’t deep clean when they move out. Even when they do, their idea of clean probably doesn’t match yours. You’ll find dust in corners they never touched, grime behind appliances they never moved, and who knows what in places they forgot existed.
We handle the real cleaning while you handle everything else on your moving checklist. When we’re done, you’ll walk into a space that feels like home from day one, not someone else’s leftover mess.
Team Alpha Cleaning Services is a local Merchantville operation that understands what you’re dealing with when you move. We’re not a franchise following a generic checklist.
We know the housing market here. We know the challenges that come with older homes and apartment turnovers in our area. When you’re dealing with Victorian-era homes and tight moving timelines, you need cleaners who get it.
We’re bonded and insured because this is serious work, and we treat it that way. Our approach is straightforward: thorough cleaning using professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly products that are safe for your family.
First, we schedule around your moving timeline. We know you’re working with tight deadlines between closing dates, lease signings, and moving truck schedules. We’ll work with you to find a time that makes sense.
Our team arrives with professional-grade equipment and gets to work on every surface, corner, and detail. We start high and work down – ceilings, light fixtures, walls, then surfaces, and floors last. Every appliance gets cleaned inside and out. Every corner gets attention.
Most move in cleaning jobs take 3-6 hours depending on the size of your home and how much deep cleaning is needed. Empty houses are actually faster to clean than occupied ones because we can access everything easily, but we also spend more time on areas that don’t get attention during regular cleaning.

This isn’t surface-level cleaning. We’re talking about the deep clean that sets you up for success in your new space.
Every appliance gets cleaned inside and out – ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves. We move appliances and clean behind them to eliminate old tenant food odors. Cabinets get wiped inside and out because crumbs and flour dust love to hide in corners and attract pests.
In Merchantville’s older homes, we pay extra attention to areas where dust and grime accumulate over time. Window sills, baseboards, and those corners where previous cleaning efforts never quite reached. We use commercial-grade vacuums with HEPA filtration and eco-friendly products that are safe for your family.
Most move in cleaning jobs take 3-6 hours depending on the size of your home and how much deep cleaning is needed. A typical one-bedroom takes about 3-4 hours, while larger homes or properties that haven’t been maintained well may take longer.
Empty houses are actually faster to clean than occupied ones because we can access everything easily. But we also spend more time on areas that don’t get attention during regular cleaning – behind appliances, inside cabinets, and in corners where dust and grime accumulate over time.
We’ll give you a time estimate when we schedule your service, and we always call if we’re running ahead or behind schedule. The goal is to have your space completely ready before you start unpacking.
Yes, cleaning inside appliances is a key part of our move in service. Ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves all get cleaned inside and out. This is one of the biggest differences between regular cleaning and move in cleaning.
We clean inside and outside the refrigerator, including shelves and drawers. Oven cleaning includes the interior, racks, and stovetop. We also clean the microwave inside and out, dishwasher interior, and any other appliances that come with your new home.
We also move appliances when possible and clean behind them to eliminate old tenant food odors. Previous owners often don’t think about grease buildup behind the stove or dust accumulation behind the refrigerator, but these areas can harbor odors and attract pests if not addressed.
If you’re not satisfied with any part of our cleaning, contact us within 24 hours and we’ll come back to address the issue at no charge. We want you to be completely happy with your clean space before you start unpacking and settling in.
Our goal is to earn your trust for any future cleaning needs, so we make sure the job is done right the first time. We use a detailed checklist that covers all the areas you’d expect to be spotless in a new home.
This guarantee is especially important during move in cleaning because you’re trusting us to prepare your new space properly. We take that responsibility seriously and stand behind our work completely.
Yes, we offer first-time customer discounts for new residents in Merchantville. We know moving expenses add up quickly, and we want to make professional cleaning accessible when you need it most.
The discount applies to your first move in cleaning service with us. We’d rather earn your business for the long term than maximize profit on a single job. When you see the quality of our work, you’ll understand why we’re confident in offering this discount.
Contact us for current pricing and discount details when you schedule your service. We’ll also discuss your specific cleaning needs and provide a written estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Absolutely. We schedule around your moving timeline because we know you’re working with tight deadlines between closing dates, lease signings, and moving truck schedules. We’ll work with you to find a time that makes sense for your situation.
We can usually schedule your cleaning within 24-48 hours of your call. If you’re dealing with a last-minute move-in situation, we offer same-day service when possible. The key is calling as soon as you know your move-in date.
We’re most effective when the home is completely empty, but we can work around your packing and moving schedule if needed. We can focus on areas you’ve already cleared first, then return to finish once everything is moved out.
Moving is already exhausting, and cleaning adds hours to an already overwhelming process. But more importantly, move in cleaning requires equipment and techniques that most people don’t have access to.
We use commercial-grade vacuums with HEPA filtration, professional cleaning products, and equipment designed for deep cleaning. We know how to safely clean different surfaces and materials without damage. We also know what to look for – like pest signs, maintenance issues, or areas that need special attention.
Professional move in cleaning is usually a smart investment when you consider the time savings and peace of mind. You’re already investing in your new home; make sure it’s actually clean before you start living in it.
