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 Greensboro. 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 half of Greensboro's occupied homes are rented, and with more than 15,000 students at N.C. A&T, nearly 19,000 at UNC Greensboro and three private colleges, a lot of those leases end at the same time. Most deposit trouble comes down to a few things: an oven nobody cleaned, a bathroom with a year of film, and a red stain by the door.

This guide covers the North Carolina rule and what the One-Time Moving Clean will include when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Greensboro. It runs $391.00 to $817.00, priced by the home, not by the hour.

North Carolina's deposit rules

North Carolina law requires a landlord to return the security deposit, with a written itemized list of any damage, no later than 30 days after the tenancy ends. Read that list closely when it comes, and compare it against your photos.

The state also caps how much can be held in the first place: two weeks' rent for week-to-week tenancies, one and one-half months' rent for month-to-month, and two months' rent for longer terms. That is worth checking against your lease, because it tells you the most you could have at stake.

This is general information and not legal advice. If a large amount is involved, a lawyer can help you apply the statute to your situation.

Campus leases and shared homes

Student homes have their own rhythm. When several people share a place, kitchens and bathrooms often need more work than the square footage suggests, and no one feels responsible for the oven. Settle who is paying for what before the last week of the lease, and book the clean for after the last person goes.

If some roommates leave early, the deposit can become awkward as well, since it is usually held for the whole unit. Agree in writing how it will be split. Book the Moving Clean for the empty unit rather than trying to work around someone's boxes. Cleaners do not haul furniture, debris or leftover items, so anything left behind stays put, and it can block access to floors and closets.

What the Moving Clean takes care of

The One-Time Moving Clean covers everything in a deep clean and adds the interiors a landlord or buyer checks first. It suits a move-out or a move-in, and many people moving to the Triad prefer it before unpacking.

What a Greensboro walkthrough tends to show

Clay is the local detail. Piedmont subsoil runs red, brown and yellow, and a tint along the entry baseboard or on a pale carpet is easy to spot. Hand washing takes care of hard surfaces, though carpet stains may need a carpet specialist, so check your lease about that before you go. Wet weather adds to it, with about 74 days a year of at least a tenth of an inch of rain, and September is the wettest month.

Humid months add their own film. With dew points near 67 degrees in July, a shut-up unit can feel musty by the time you leave, so keep the air conditioning on until the walkthrough. Pests can also leave marks. NC State Extension says camel crickets leave dark smears in damp spots such as basements and laundry rooms, and those wipe up easily.

Wear is not dirt. About 40 percent of the city's homes predate 1980, and old tile or scuffed floors will look their age after any clean. Your photos are the record of that. Similar rules apply in High Point, where about 45 percent of occupied homes are rented, and in Kernersville, at about 40 percent.

The state caps it at two weeks' rent for week-to-week tenancies, one and one-half months' rent for month-to-month, and two months' rent for longer terms. Compare that with your lease. It tells you the most you could have at stake when you move out.
Clay on baseboards and hard floors comes up well. Carpet is harder, because a house clean includes vacuuming and not extraction. Deep stains from Piedmont soil may need a carpet specialist, and many leases have a carpet clause anyway. Read yours, then decide whether to book both services.
