A Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Maryland Renters and Owners

October 22, 2026 Ely Professional Cleaning Service

Whether you're leaving a rental or selling a home, a clean empty space makes a better final impression. Here's what a thorough move-out cleaning typically covers.

Kitchen: wipe the inside and outside of cabinets and drawers, clean the counters and sink, and wipe down the exterior of appliances. Clean the inside of the oven, microwave, and refrigerator if they stay with the home.

Bathrooms: scrub the tub, shower, toilet, sink, and mirrors, and wipe cabinets and drawers. Clean grout lines and remove soap scum where you can.

Bedrooms and living areas: wipe baseboards, door frames, window sills, and light switches. Dust vents and ceiling fans, and wipe out closets.

Floors: sweep and vacuum everywhere, then mop hard floors. Do the floors last, so nothing is tracked over a clean surface.

If you'd rather not spend your last days in the home scrubbing, we can do it for you. Ely Professional Cleaning Service offers move-in and move-out cleaning around Baltimore and the surrounding Maryland communities. Call (443) 337-0934 for a free estimate.
