FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about move-out cleaning with S&A in Vancouver, BC.
Still have a question? Get in touch
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Vancouver?
S&A books move-out cleans by the hour, from $130+ with a 3-hour minimum. The total depends on the size of the home, its condition and what you need included, such as inside appliances and cabinets. Send us the details and we'll estimate the time.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
A move-out clean covers every room of the empty home: inside the oven, fridge and cabinets, bathrooms, closets, baseboards, window sills, doors and floors. Our checklist above is a guide, and you can ask us to add or focus on anything specific.
When should I book my move-out clean?
After the movers have gone, and before your move-out inspection or handover. An empty home is faster to clean and easier to get right.
Will cleaning get my damage deposit back?
We can't promise that. Your landlord decides what happens with your deposit. In BC, landlords and tenants inspect the unit together at the end of a tenancy and record its condition, and a thorough clean helps you leave the home in good order.
Do you also do move-in cleaning?
Yes. A move-in clean gets a new apartment, condo or house properly cleaned before you unpack, so you start in a fresh space. Book it for after the previous occupants leave and before your furniture arrives.
Do I need to be there while you clean?
No. Let us know how you would like to handle access, for example a lockbox or concierge, when you book. We'll plan it with you.
Are your cleaners insured and background-checked?
Yes. S&A Cleaning Group is fully licensed and insured, and every member of our team completes a criminal and background check before employment.
Is S&A in Vancouver, BC or Vancouver, Washington?
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. S&A Cleaning Group serves Greater Vancouver, including Downtown, North, East, West and South Vancouver. We do not serve Vancouver, Washington. If you're nearby and not sure we cover your address, send us a message.
