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 Oklahoma City. 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.

About 41.4 percent of occupied homes in Oklahoma City are rented, which is more than 116,000 households. Every one of those leases ends with a walkthrough, and cleaning is one of the easiest deductions a landlord can take from a deposit. Owners selling a home face a similar moment at the final buyer walk-through.

This guide covers the Oklahoma rule for getting a deposit back, the order that works best for an Oklahoma City move, and what a Moving Clean covers. A Moving Clean runs $350.00 to $727.00 by home size.

The Oklahoma deposit law, in plain terms

Under Oklahoma law, a landlord must return the security deposit, less any itemized deductions, within 45 days after three things have happened: the tenancy has ended, the tenant has handed back possession, and the tenant has made a written demand for the deposit. The 45-day clock does not start on a phone call or a text about the deposit. Put the request in writing, with a forwarding address, on or after the day you return the keys.

The statute has a second deadline that catches people out. If a tenant makes no written demand within six months after the tenancy ends, the deposit reverts to the landlord. In a busy move it is easy to forget, so write the demand letter the same day you schedule the Moving Clean.

A move-out order that works in Oklahoma City

The Moving Clean is built for an empty home, so the order of the last week matters. Oklahoma City offers monthly curbside bulky waste pickup for single-family homes, and the first 4 cubic yards each month are included. Items must be at the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned day, so check that date early and plan the clean for after it.

Bulky pickup does not take bagged trash, contractor waste or hazardous items such as paint, motor oil, batteries and pesticides. Some of those can go to the city's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Recycling goes in the Big Green cart, and My Trash Day or the OKC Utilities portal shows your collection days.

What the Moving Clean covers in an empty home

The Moving Clean includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean, hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans, light fixtures and vents wiped in place, cabinet fronts degreased, shower glass treated and faucets detailed, plus the parts of a kitchen that matter most to a landlord: the inside of the oven, the inside of the refrigerator, and the inside of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers.

It does not include carrying out furniture, appliances or anything left behind, and it does not include repairs, paint touch-ups or carpet shampooing. Bagged household trash goes to the outdoor bins.

Older rentals and winter move-outs

About 21.3 percent of Oklahoma City homes were built before 1960, and an older rental needs a gentler touch at move-out. Original cabinets, enamel tubs and early tile respond to mild products, not abrasive pads, so a landlord sees a clean surface rather than a scratched one.

Winter moves need one extra step. Oklahoma City Utilities advises dripping faucets on exterior walls and leaving under-sink cabinet doors ajar when temperatures stay below freezing for a sustained stretch. A vacant home with the heat turned down is exactly where a pipe freezes, so if a cold snap is forecast between the clean and the walkthrough, keep the heat on and follow that advice.

Pricing the Moving Clean

The Moving Clean is priced by bedrooms and bathrooms. A one bedroom apartment is $350.00, a typical three bedroom house is $480.00, and a five bedroom home is $727.00. The same clean works for a buyer or a new tenant moving in before the boxes arrive. The cost page has all five rows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oklahoma City Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Oklahoma City starts at $350.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $480.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and $727.00 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.
Oklahoma law gives the landlord 45 days to return the deposit, less itemized deductions, after the tenancy ends, you deliver possession, and you make a written demand for it. Send that demand in writing with a forwarding address, and keep a copy along with your move-out photos and the cleaning confirmation.
Under Oklahoma law, if a tenant makes no written demand within six months after the tenancy ends, the deposit reverts to the landlord. A short letter or email with your name, the address, the move-out date and a forwarding address is enough to start the 45-day clock.
Yes, if you live in a single-family home on city trash service. Oklahoma City collects bulky waste curbside once a month, and the first 4 cubic yards are included. Put it out by 6 a.m. on your assigned day. Bagged trash, contractor waste and hazardous items like paint and batteries are not accepted.
No. Cleaners do not remove hazardous materials, and Oklahoma City bulky pickup does not take paint, oil, batteries or pesticides either. Some of those items can go to the city's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Clear them before the Moving Clean so the cabinets under the sinks can be cleaned inside.
Yes. With about 41 percent of Oklahoma City homes rented, many houses change hands every year, and the inside of the refrigerator, oven and cabinets is where the last occupant leaves the most behind. A Moving Clean before you unpack covers those along with the deep clean work in every room.
