TotalCare Cleaning will work with buyers, sellers, landlords, property managers, and real estate agents in Jacksonville. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.

About 43 percent of occupied homes in Jacksonville are rented, and a large military population adds a steady flow of moves tied to orders rather than lease dates. Whatever the reason for leaving, the empty home gets inspected, and cleaning is one of the easiest things for a landlord or a buyer to point to.

This guide covers the Florida deposit rule, how to plan the last week in a Jacksonville home, and what the Moving Clean from TotalCare Cleaning will include.

Florida's deposit clock: 15 days or 30

Section 83.49 of the Florida Statutes sets the timeline. Once a tenant leaves, a landlord has 15 days to return the security deposit in full, or 30 days to send written notice by certified mail of any claim against it, with the reason.

That makes the condition of the home on move-out day the record that counts. Photograph every room after the Moving Clean, including the inside of the oven and refrigerator, and keep the cleaning confirmation with your copy of the lease. If a claim arrives, those photos are what you will answer it with.

Orders, leases and Jacksonville's moving rhythm

Northeast Florida is home to more than 25,000 active duty personnel. NAS Jacksonville is the largest installation in Navy Region Southeast, and Naval Station Mayport is home port to 22 ships and employs more than 11,000 military and civilian workers. Families moving on orders often have little notice and a fixed report date, so the move-out clean has to fit between the packers leaving and the final walkthrough.

Civilian renters face their own squeeze. With roughly 43 percent of homes rented and about 11 percent of housing units in buildings of 20 or more units, a lot of move-outs happen in large complexes with their own inspection routines. Ask the property office whether it sets a move-out inspection time, and schedule the clean for the day before.

Clear out first: city pickup for appliances and bulk

The City of Jacksonville runs residential curbside garbage, recycling and yard waste collection, and it schedules appliance and tire pickups as well, with the schedule looked up by address. A broken washer or an old freezer left in the garage should be booked for pickup before the clean, because cleaners do not move appliances, furniture or debris out of the home. A Moving Clean gets the strongest result in a home that is fully empty.

Summer moves bring one more Jacksonville wrinkle. June through September carry more than half of the city's yearly rain, so movers and the last trips to the truck drag wet sand and grass across floors that were clean an hour before. Lay drop cloths or old towels at the main entry during loading, and book the clean for after the last box is out rather than the morning of the move.

What the Moving Clean will include

The Moving Clean covers everything in a One-Time Deep Clean, then adds the work that only makes sense in an empty home. Prices run $391.00 to $817.00 across the five home sizes, and a two bedroom apartment will be $493.00.

Older rentals, newer rentals

About 41 percent of Jacksonville homes were built before 1980, so many rentals still have original tile, older cabinets and appliances that have seen several tenants. Those surfaces get mild products and a careful hand, because a scratched enamel tub is harder to explain at a walkthrough than a dusty shelf. In homes built after 2000, the work shifts to large glass showers, multiple bathrooms and stainless appliances that show every fingerprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jacksonville Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Jacksonville 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.
Under Section 83.49 of the Florida Statutes, the landlord has 15 days after you leave to return the deposit, or 30 days to send written notice by certified mail if they intend to make a claim against it. Keep your forwarding address current so that notice reaches you.
As soon as the pack-out date is set. Families leaving NAS Jacksonville or Naval Station Mayport often move on a tight timeline, and the clean has to land after the movers and before the inspection. Book it for the day the house is empty, not the day the truck arrives.
No. Bagged household trash goes to your bins, but appliances, furniture and debris stay where they are. The City of Jacksonville schedules appliance and tire pickups along with regular curbside collection, so arrange that first and the home will be empty when the clean begins.
Yes. The same clean works for an empty home before you unpack, inside the appliances and cabinets included. With about 30 percent of Jacksonville homes built since 2000 and many older homes changing hands, both new and resale buyers book it before the boxes come in.
Bathrooms and the kitchen. Hard aquifer water leaves white scale on shower glass, faucets and toilet bowls, and an oven or refrigerator left dirty is easy to photograph. Those are the areas the Moving Clean spends the most attention on.
