Join the Opening List →Richmond, the Madison County seat, had 34,585 residents and 15,899 housing units in the 2020 census. It is shaped by a university, an Army depot and a long history. TotalCare Cleaning will service Richmond as part of the Lexington area.
Eastern Kentucky University enrolled 15,673 students in fall 2024, which is a large share of a city this size. The Blue Grass Army Depot lies to the southeast. The Civil War Battle of Richmond was fought here on August 30, 1862, so history is close by as well.
A student body that size means a steady flow of people moving in and out on a lease schedule.
About 62 percent of occupied homes in Richmond are rented, and single family detached homes are only about 40 percent of its housing units. So the typical job here is more likely to be a small apartment or a shared rental than a big house.
That changes the priorities. Kitchens and single bathrooms shared by several people need steady attention, and move-outs happen in bursts. A Moving Clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, which is what a landlord looks at first when a lease ends.
Kentucky's KRS 383.580 applies where the state landlord tenant act covers a rental. It requires a signed list of existing damage before move-in and a list of any damage charged at move-out, and you may inspect and sign or dispute that second list in writing. Students should keep the first list with their lease rather than losing it in a dorm drawer.
Roommates who split a Moving Clean can often do so for less than the deposit at stake. Plan it after the last load leaves, because empty rooms are the ones that get finished properly.
A monthly Recurring House Clean fits many smaller apartments, and bi-weekly suits shared houses, where a bathroom might serve three or four people. Lexington's dew points of about 66 degrees in July also suggest a shared bathroom without a good fan stays damp, so a steady schedule through the summer does help.
Prices depend on the size of the home, using the same table as the rest of the area; see the cost page.
