South Carolina gives a landlord 30 days to return a deposit after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered and you ask for it. A One-Time Moving Clean starts at $350.00.
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 Greenville. 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 59 percent of occupied homes in the City of Greenville are rented, and in Spartanburg nearly half are. Add Furman and Wofford students, and a lot of people here will hand back a set of keys sooner or later.
This guide sets out the South Carolina rules, how to plan the last days of a lease and what a One-Time Moving Clean from TotalCare Cleaning will include when the company comes to the area.
South Carolina law requires a landlord to return a security deposit, with a written itemized list of any deductions, within 30 days after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered and the tenant asks for it. So there are three conditions, and the last is the one tenants tend to forget. Ask in writing, and include a forwarding address.
Under South Carolina law, a tenant whose deposit is wrongfully withheld may recover three times the amount withheld plus reasonable attorney's fees. The law also requires tenants to keep the dwelling reasonably safe and reasonably clean and to keep all plumbing fixtures reasonably clean. This guide covers cleaning and is not legal advice, so talk to someone qualified if a real dispute comes up.
About 59 percent of occupied homes in the city are rented, and buildings with 20 or more units hold about 25 percent of housing units. Furman University lists an enrollment of 2,482 students, and Wofford College has 1,781 undergraduates near downtown Spartanburg, where about 46 percent of occupied homes are rented.
Many of those households will be in compact apartments. A small home is a small job on the table, but a landlord will still check the kitchen and the bath first, and those are the rooms most likely to fall behind when several people share a lease.
A One-Time Moving Clean starts at $350.00 on the first row and reaches $727.00 on the last, with the third row at $480.00. It is priced by the home, not by the hour, and it can be used for a move-out or a move-in.
The visit includes detail work such as hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, degreased cabinet fronts and treated shower glass. It adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, which an ordinary visit does not cover. Interior windows are an add-on, so check your lease. Hauling furniture or debris and mold or water damage work are not included.
Greenville County runs seven staffed Residential Waste and Recycling Centers for residential waste only, with proof of residence required and a limit of three cubic yards per vehicle per day. If you need to drop off a load before you move, bring something that shows your address, and go before the utility bill or lease changes.
Recycling depends on where you live. Greenville County offers drop-off sites instead of curbside recycling, while the cities of Greenville, Mauldin and Fountain Inn provide curbside recycling. Everything should be out before the clean, because a home is easiest to clean when it is empty.
Read your lease and any checklist from your landlord first. Then clear the home in stages: closets, then cabinets, and the refrigerator and freezer last. Empty and defrost the freezer if the lease requires it, so the Moving Clean can reach every shelf.
After the clean, walk the rooms and take dated photos, including inside the oven and the refrigerator. Check window tracks and sills for any fall lady beetles or kudzu bugs, which Clemson Extension says should be vacuumed rather than crushed, since crushing them can stain. Then hand back the keys, ask for your deposit in writing and keep your receipt and photos until it is settled.
A rental from before 1960, as about 22 percent of the city's units are, may have worn paint and floors that no clean can make new. Ordinary wear is a matter for your lease and your landlord, not for a cleaner, and peeling paint in a home from before 1978 is not something a tenant or a cleaner should try to fix.
A newer apartment is simpler, and the kitchen and bath may need only a thorough clean. About 27 percent of units in the city date from 2010 or later. In either case, a clear record of how you left the home is what protects you.
