What's Covered

Every Area
Inspectors Check

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 Colorado Springs. 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.

About 43 percent of occupied homes in Colorado Springs are rented, or 89,885 households. With Fort Carson, the Space Force bases, the Air Force Academy and UCCS all in the area, people here move more often than in most cities, and many do it on a schedule they did not choose.

This guide explains the Colorado rule and what the One-Time Moving Clean will include when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Colorado Springs. It runs $391.00 to $817.00 and is priced by the home, not by the hour.

Colorado's deposit rules

Colorado law requires a landlord to return a security deposit within one month after the lease ends, or up to 60 days if the lease says so. So read your lease first, since that one clause can double the wait. The statute also bars keeping any of the deposit for normal wear and tear.

If a landlord keeps any part, Colorado requires a written statement listing the exact reasons. The same statute allows deductions for cleaning contracted for by the tenant, so if your lease says the home must be professionally cleaned or sets a cleaning fee, that matters. This is general information and not legal advice.

That leaves a clear line. Faded paint from years of sun at this elevation is one thing, while a greasy oven or a grimy tub is another. A Moving Clean deals with the second category.

Planning a move around the bases and the weather

Fort Carson lies directly south of the city, and Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases are nearby, so orders can set your move date before you have a chance to weigh in. More than 4,000 cadets are enrolled at the Air Force Academy, and UCCS has more than 11,300 students, so campus area leases also turn over.

Weather is the other planning factor. Average first snow is October 25 and last is April 23, and measurable snow has fallen as late as June 10. If you are moving in those months, ask that movers put down floor protection and leave time for one more mop at the end. Schedule the Moving Clean after the last load, so that you do not undo it with boots.

Cleaners do not haul furniture or debris, so have the home empty by then. A clear floor also lets the visit reach every baseboard and corner.

What the Moving Clean covers

The One-Time Moving Clean includes everything in a deep clean and adds the interiors a landlord or buyer checks first. It suits a move-out or a move-in, so an incoming family can use it before unpacking.

What local rentals tend to show

Dust and grit show up most. In a place with generally low humidity and strong winter winds, window tracks and blinds fill up, and a landlord who runs a finger along them will notice. Bugs are the other local detail. CSU Extension says boxelder bugs overwinter as adults in houses and can stain draperies and other light surfaces, and elm seed bugs come in from mid June through September. Vacuum them up rather than crushing them, and check light fixtures and sills.

Age matters in some rentals. About 38 percent of the city's units predate 1980, and older tile or worn floors will not look new after any clean. Colorado's wear and tear rule protects you there, so take photos and keep any move-in checklist. Attached homes are common too, with 16,618 units in the city, and it helps to tell a cleaner about shared entries or parking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Colorado Springs Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Colorado Springs starts at $391.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $538.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and $817.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card. This move-in or move-out clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets on top of a deep clean.
Colorado law sets one month after the lease ends, or up to 60 days if the lease says so. If any part is kept, the landlord must give a written statement listing the exact reasons. Read your lease for the time limit, and keep your photos and cleaning confirmation.
No. Colorado's statute bars keeping any of the deposit for normal wear and tear. Dirt and grease are different from wear, and the statute allows deductions for cleaning contracted for by the tenant, so check your lease. A clean home and good photos make a dispute less likely.
Yes. Many households here move on orders from Fort Carson or the Space Force bases, and the Moving Clean covers the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets in an empty home. Schedule it after the movers have left, with the floors clear. It works for the home you are entering too.
Bagged household trash goes to your own bin, but furniture and large items stay. Cleaners do not haul furniture, debris or construction waste, so take care of those before the visit. Anything left in place can block access to floors, baseboards and closet corners.
