Move-out and move-in cleaning · Boise, ID
Greater Boise
The Moving Clean for Boise rentals and sales, timed around Idaho's deposit deadlines and the city's trash rules, plus what to do with old paint and bulky leftovers.
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 Boise. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.
Pricing starts at $350 for 1 bedroom through $727 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →About 37 percent of Boise's occupied homes are rented, and more than 27,000 students are enrolled at Boise State, so a lot of keys change hands. A deposit dispute is rarely about one big thing. More often it comes down to a greasy oven and a bathroom nobody got to on the last day.
This guide covers the Idaho rule, the local trash details and what the One-Time Moving Clean will include when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Boise. It runs $350.00 to $727.00, priced by the home, not by the hour.
Idaho law requires a landlord to refund a security deposit within 21 days if the lease sets no other time, and in any event within 30 days after the tenant surrenders the home. So check your lease first. If it sets a shorter or longer time within that limit, the lease governs.
Boise adds a few rules of its own for tenants. City ordinances require reasonable application fees, bar landlords from retaliating against tenants for repair requests and prohibit source of income discrimination. None of these is about cleaning directly, but they are worth knowing if you are leaving over a dispute or heading to a new Boise rental.
This is general information and not legal advice. Keep copies of your lease, your forwarding address and the date you handed back the keys.
Plan the trash before the clean. Boise trash is collected weekly by Republic Services, with carts out by 6 a.m. and off the street within 24 hours. Households also have a green-lidded compost cart collected weekly all year, which helps with a fridge full of old food and yard waste.
For old paint and cleaners, Boise residents can drop household hazardous waste free at the Ada County Landfill facility on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and larger clean-out loads are accepted there. Cleaners do not haul furniture, debris or chemicals, so those trips come first. Empty rooms also let the floors and baseboards get done properly.
The One-Time Moving Clean is everything in a deep clean, plus the interiors a landlord or buyer checks first. It suits a move-out or a move-in, and it often makes sense for buyers in a new home before the boxes arrive.
Hard water is a common sight. All of southern Idaho has hard water, according to Kuna's water report, so faucets and shower doors often have a white film after a year of use. That is easy for a landlord to notice, and it is one of the main things the Moving Clean addresses. Fine dust on the blinds and in window tracks is another, thanks to the low annual rainfall.
Older rentals have their own limits. About a quarter of Boise's units predate 1970, and wear in those homes is not the same as dirt. A clean can remove grease and scale, but it cannot repair old tile or worn wood. Photographs are the record if the question comes up, so take them in good light and include the corners a landlord tends to check first, along with the inside of the oven. The rules are similar across the valley, where about a quarter of Meridian's and 30 percent of Nampa's occupied homes are rented too.
