What Does Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning Cost in Los Angeles in 2026?
Moving in LA is stressful enough without wondering whether your old place will pass the landlord's walkthrough or your new place will feel truly move-in ready. For a 1 bed/1 bath apartment around 650 square feet — think of the kind of unit common in Koreatown, NoHo, or Mid-Wilshire — move-in/move-out cleaning starts around $355. A 2 bed/2 bath home near 1,200 square feet, similar to what you'd find in Silver Lake, Culver City, or parts of the Valley, starts around $560. Larger 3 bed/2 bath houses around 2,000 square feet — common in neighborhoods like Eagle Rock, Highland Park, or the foothills near Pasadena-adjacent areas — start around $880.
These figures are starting examples only, not fixed quotes. Move-out cleaning pricing shifts based on square footage, how many bedrooms and bathrooms need attention, how much buildup has accumulated (especially in kitchens and inside appliances), and which Los Angeles neighborhood you're in. A studio in a high-rise near DTLA won't cost the same as a sprawling single-family home in Woodland Hills. The only way to get your exact number is a free custom quote or the instant booking page, which calculates pricing the same way our team does over the phone.
What's Included in a Move-In/Move-Out Clean
A proper move-out clean goes well beyond a standard recurring visit. Expect deep attention inside cabinets and drawers, inside the oven and refrigerator, baseboards, window sills, closet interiors, light fixtures, and switch plates — all the spots landlords and new tenants actually check. Bathrooms get scrubbed grout, descaled fixtures, and disinfected tile, while kitchens get degreased backsplashes and wiped-down cabinet exteriors and interiors. This is the level of detail that helps renters recover their security deposit and helps buyers or renters walk into a genuinely fresh space on day one.
Because move-in/move-out cleaning is priced higher than a routine recurring visit, it's worth comparing to our Deep Cleaning tier if your home isn't fully empty yet. Many LA clients book Deep Cleaning before a move and a full Move-In/Out service after furniture is out, since empty rooms allow our team to reach every corner. You can review exactly what's covered on our move-in/out cleaning page before booking either service.
Los Angeles Moving Costs and Timing
LA's rental market moves fast, and most leases require units returned to near-original condition within a tight turnaround window. Between packing, forwarding utilities, and coordinating movers across LA traffic, cleaning is often the task that gets pushed to the last minute — which is exactly why scheduling early matters. If you're relocating between Los Angeles neighborhoods, or from LA into Orange County, our teams cover both regions; check the Los Angeles service area or Orange County service area pages to confirm coverage near your new or old address.
Same-day cleaning is available for last-minute move-outs, though it's subject to real-time availability and isn't part of our fixed price list — call 424-484-0180 for a live same-day quote rather than assuming a flat rate applies.
How to Save Money on Your LA Move-Out Clean
The simplest way to save is booking your move-out clean on the same day as your regular recurring service cadence, if you're already a client — recurring customers on a weekly plan save 15% and bi-weekly customers save 10% compared to the every-4-weeks rate, though those discounts apply to recurring visits rather than one-time move-out jobs. For one-time movers, the biggest lever is booking early: last-minute, same-day requests can cost more simply due to limited availability, while scheduling a few days ahead gives our team room to quote accurately and avoid rush pricing.
It also helps to clarify with your landlord or property manager exactly what condition is expected, so you're not paying for post-construction-level detailing when a standard move-out service would satisfy the lease terms. 24 25 Cleaners' instant booking page lets you select the exact service type and home size, so you only pay for what your specific move actually requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Los Angeles?
Starting prices are approximately $355 for a 1 bed/1 bath apartment, $560 for a 2 bed/2 bath home, and $880 for a 3 bed/2 bath house, assuming moderate condition and no add-ons. Actual pricing depends on square footage, condition, and neighborhood, so an instant booking quote or free custom quote will give you the exact number.
Is move-in cleaning priced the same as move-out cleaning?
Yes, 24 25 Cleaners uses the same Move-In/Out Cleaning pricing tier for both, since the scope of work — deep cleaning an empty or nearly empty home — is essentially identical whether you're arriving or leaving.
Do I need move-out cleaning to get my security deposit back in LA?
Most Los Angeles landlords expect the unit returned in the condition it was received, and a professional move-out clean covering appliances, cabinets, and bathrooms is one of the most common ways renters satisfy that requirement, though results depend on your specific lease terms.
Can I book a same-day move-out cleaning in Los Angeles?
Same-day service is available depending on real-time availability, but it isn't part of our fixed price list since urgency affects scheduling. Call 424-484-0180 for a live same-day quote.
What's the difference between Deep Cleaning and Move-In/Out Cleaning pricing?
Deep Cleaning starts lower — around $324 for a 1 bed/1 bath, $435 for a 2 bed/2 bath, and $548 for a 3 bed/2 bath — and is designed for occupied homes, while Move-In/Out Cleaning is priced higher because it covers empty units with more intensive detailing like inside cabinets, ovens, and closets.
Does 24 25 Cleaners serve all of Los Angeles and Orange County for move-out cleans?
Yes, 24 25 Cleaners covers neighborhoods across both Los Angeles and Orange County; you can confirm coverage for your specific address on the Los Angeles or Orange County service area pages, or simply call to check availability.
