You found the perfect place in Pleasantville, signed the papers, got the keys. But here’s what most people don’t realize until they’re standing in their “clean” new space with boxes everywhere: there’s a difference between empty and actually clean.
We’re talking about the dust that settles in corners during showings, the residue left behind in cabinets, the buildup around fixtures that gets missed in standard turnover cleaning. The stuff that makes you wonder what else you’re not seeing.
Our move in cleaning service handles the deep clean your new home actually needs. Every surface gets attention so you can focus on unpacking, not cleaning. When we’re done, you’ll walk into a space that feels truly yours from day one. No lingering odors, no mystery stains, no wondering what’s been cleaned and what hasn’t.
Team Alpha Cleaning Services is a local Pleasantville business that understands what it takes to get properties truly move-in ready. We’re not some faceless franchise – we’re your neighbors who’ve cleaned everything from historic homes to modern apartments in this area.
We’re bonded and insured because your peace of mind matters. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or real estate professional managing property turnovers, we show up when we say we will and do the job right the first time. No surprises, no excuses, no cutting corners.
Our team has learned what makes the difference between a space that looks clean and one that actually is clean. We bring professional-grade equipment and the local knowledge that comes from years of working with Pleasantville’s unique mix of older homes and newer constructions. Each property has its own challenges, and we come prepared for all of them.
First, we walk through your new space and create a detailed cleaning plan. Every home is different, so we tailor our approach to what your specific property needs – whether it’s an empty house cleaning or apartment cleaning with existing fixtures.
Our team arrives with professional-grade equipment and supplies you won’t find in typical household cleaning arsenals. We start from the top and work down, hitting every surface methodically. Bathrooms get disinfected completely, kitchens get degreased and sanitized, and every room gets the attention it deserves.
We tackle the areas that most people either can’t reach or don’t think to clean. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, inside cabinets, behind appliances, baseboards, window sills – all the spots where dust, grime, and previous occupants’ residue accumulate over time. Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with you. You’ll see exactly what we’ve cleaned and have the chance to point out anything that needs extra attention. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied with your clean, move-in ready space.
Ready to get started?
Bathrooms receive complete disinfection, including behind the toilet, inside medicine cabinets, and all those corners where soap scum hides. We’re talking about the kind of thorough sanitization that removes traces of previous occupants and gives you a truly fresh start.
Kitchens get degreased from top to bottom – inside appliances, cabinet interiors, and that sticky residue that builds up around handles and fixtures over time. We clean the places where you’ll be storing your dishes and preparing your meals, because these areas need to be spotless, not just surface-clean.
We clean light fixtures, ceiling fans, baseboards, and window sills – the details that make a space feel truly fresh rather than just empty. Floors get proper attention whether they’re hardwood, tile, or carpet, with appropriate cleaning methods for each surface type. For Pleasantville properties, we understand the unique challenges of older homes and newer constructions alike. Historic homes often have intricate details that need special care, while newer builds might have construction dust in unexpected places. Whether you need real estate cleaning for a quick turnaround or comprehensive empty house cleaning, we adjust our approach to get your specific space move-in ready.
Most move in cleanings take 3-6 hours depending on the size and condition of your property. An empty apartment might be done in 3 hours, while a larger house with more detailed cleaning needs could take a full day.
We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during our initial walkthrough so you can plan accordingly. The timeline also depends on what level of cleaning the previous occupants or property managers did before you got the keys.
Our goal is thoroughness, not speed. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through and miss the details that matter when you’re settling into your new home. You’re making a significant investment in this move, and the cleaning should reflect that level of care.
Yes, we offer special pricing for first-time customers moving into the Pleasantville area. We know moving expenses add up quickly, so we want to help make professional cleaning more affordable during your transition.
The discount applies to our complete move in cleaning service and helps offset some of those moving costs. It’s our way of welcoming new neighbors to the area while letting you experience the quality of our work firsthand.
Contact us for current discount details and to schedule your cleaning before your move-in date. We typically recommend booking at least a week ahead, though we can often accommodate shorter notice when your timeline demands it.
Absolutely. We understand real estate timelines can be tight and sometimes change at the last minute. We offer flexible scheduling and can often accommodate same-week requests for move in cleaning.
Many of our clients prefer this approach because it saves time and lets them handle moving and cleaning simultaneously. We can work around your moving activities, focusing on areas you’ve finished moving into while you handle other rooms.
Just let us know your timeline and we’ll work with you to get your space cleaned before you need to be fully settled. Our team has experience working around moving schedules and can adapt to whatever works best for your situation, whether that’s cleaning room by room or waiting until everything’s moved in.
Move in cleaning goes way beyond regular maintenance cleaning. We’re talking about the stuff that gets missed in routine cleaning – baseboards, inside cabinets, light fixtures, and those corners where dust loves to hide.
Regular cleaning maintains a space that’s already being lived in. Move in cleaning prepares a space for you to actually want to live in it. That means disinfecting surfaces that previous occupants touched, removing buildup in places you’ll be putting your belongings, and getting into details that matter when you’re starting fresh.
We also understand the time pressure of moving. While regular cleaning can be rescheduled, move in cleaning needs to happen on your timeline, which is why we offer flexible scheduling and work around your moving schedule. The intensity and scope are completely different because the stakes are different.
Yes, we’re fully bonded and insured because your property protection is non-negotiable. When you’re trusting us with your new home, we want you to have complete peace of mind about our work.
Our insurance covers any potential issues during the cleaning process, and our bonding provides additional protection for your property and belongings. This professional coverage is part of what separates us from individual cleaners or unlicensed services.
We’re happy to provide proof of insurance and bonding upon request. Many of our real estate professional clients require this documentation, so we keep it readily available for all our move in cleaning appointments. It’s just one more way we demonstrate that we take your trust seriously.
We recommend booking at least a week before your move-in date, though we often accommodate shorter notice when possible. The earlier you schedule, the more flexibility you’ll have with timing and the better we can coordinate with your moving schedule.
Real estate timelines can change quickly, so we try to stay flexible with our scheduling. If you know your closing date or move-in timeline, contact us as soon as possible to reserve your preferred time slot.
For last-minute situations, we do our best to accommodate same-week requests, especially for real estate professionals and clients with tight turnaround needs. Just give us a call and we’ll let you know what options we have available. We understand that sometimes these decisions happen fast, and we’re prepared to work with urgent timelines when necessary.
