One of the most common questions renters ask is: “How long should a move-out clean take?” The answer depends on size, layout, and how well the home was maintained throughout the lease.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Studios / Small Apartments: 2.5–3.5 hours
1 Bedroom: 3–4 hours
2 Bedroom: 4–6 hours
3 Bedroom House: 5–7 hours
Large Homes: 7–10 hours
Deep-cleaning appliances, removing grease, detailing baseboards, sanitizing bathrooms, and polishing high-touch areas require more time than people expect.
A professional cleaning company like Clean Ways uses an efficient step-by-step system designed to meet inspection standards — not just surface-level cleaning.
