Move-out and move-in cleaning · Buckhead, GA
Atlanta East area
The Moving Clean for Buckhead, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and Vinings rentals and sales, planned around the Georgia deposit statute and the realities of moving out of a tower or a wooded house.
What's Covered
The One-Time Moving Clean covers every surface and area that appears on a typical landlord move-out inspection report, not just the surfaces that are easy to clean. Interior appliances, cabinet interiors, baseboards, window sills, and grout are the most common sources of security deposit deductions. All are standard checklist items.
TotalCare Cleaning will work with buyers, sellers, landlords, property managers, and real estate agents in Buckhead. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.
Pricing starts at $391 for 1 bedroom through $817 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →Renting is the norm in much of this market. About 54 percent of occupied homes in the City of Atlanta are rented, close to half in Sandy Springs and Brookhaven, and about two thirds in Vinings. That makes the last clean before handing back the keys one of the most common visits in Atlanta East.
This guide covers what Georgia law says about deposits, how a move-out differs between a high-rise and a house, what the Moving Clean includes and how to order the last few days so the home is ready for the walkthrough.
Georgia gives a landlord 30 days after taking back possession of a rental to return the security deposit, along with a written list of any damages kept from it. The clock starts when the landlord has the unit back, which in practice means the day keys are returned.
Cleaning is not the same as damage, but a dirty oven, a greasy range hood or a bathtub ring is exactly the kind of item that ends up on a deductions list. Arriving at the walkthrough with a clean, empty home takes the easiest reasons off the table. Keep dated photos of every room on the last day and keep your cleaning confirmation with them.
Atlanta East rentals come in every form. About a third of City of Atlanta housing units are in buildings of 50 or more units, and in Vinings only about 15 percent of units are detached houses. At the other end, Dunwoody and Sandy Springs have plenty of rented single family homes and townhomes, with 44 percent of Dunwoody occupied homes and about half of Sandy Springs homes rented.
That spread changes the plan. A tower move usually means reserving a freight elevator and loading dock with building management, so the cleaning visit should follow the last load rather than compete with it. A house move means a garage, a back porch and a yard's worth of tracked-in leaves and mud to clear from the floors once the boxes are gone.
The Moving Clean includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean, plus the spaces that can only be reached properly when a home is empty.
Book the Moving Clean for after the movers leave and before the keys go back. Atlanta averages about 76 days a year with measurable rain, spread across every month, so on a wet moving day expect the floors to take the most wear and leave the clean for last.
Cleaners bag household trash for the outdoor bins, but they do not move furniture or carry out junk or construction debris. Anything you are leaving behind should be gone before the visit, because an empty room is the one that comes out cleanest. A Moving Clean for a two bedroom, two bath home is $493.00, and the full range is $391.00 to $817.00.
Oglethorpe University sits on Peachtree Road in Brookhaven, and Georgia State University's Perimeter College has a Dunwoody campus in the Tilly Mill area, so if you are a student moving out of an apartment near either campus, book the clean as soon as your move date is fixed rather than in the last week of term. Dunwoody's Perimeter Center, which grew around Perimeter Mall from 1971, is one of metro Atlanta's largest job centers. If your move is tied to a new job start date, set the cleaning date first and work backward to the movers.
Buyers and new tenants arriving in an empty home book the same visit. The Moving Clean works just as well the day before you unpack as the day after you leave. See the cost page for every row.
