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 Omaha. 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 43 percent of occupied homes in Omaha are rented, and renters in La Vista are close to half. That adds up to a steady stream of lease-end cleanings around the metro, and Nebraska's deposit rule gives those last days real weight.

This is general information rather than legal advice. If you have a dispute, the Nebraska Attorney General's consumer protection site is a good first stop.

Nebraska's rules for deposits

Nebraska law requires a landlord to return the security deposit balance, with a written itemization, within 14 days after the tenancy ends. The same law caps a deposit at one month's rent, plus an optional pet deposit of no more than one quarter of one month's rent.

Because the window is short, whatever the landlord sees on the last day largely decides what is listed. A greasy range or a dirty refrigerator is an easy line on an itemization. A clean home makes that list shorter and leaves less to argue about.

La Vista adds a local detail. Its Rental Inspection Program, in effect since January 1, 2010, requires landlords to register rental properties with the city by March 1 each year. Tenants there can reasonably expect their landlord to be paying attention to condition.

Who is moving, and when

The University of Nebraska Omaha enrolled 15,058 students in fall 2022 and has more than tripled its student housing since 2000. Offutt Air Force Base, just south of Bellevue, brings its own moves, and about 35 percent of Bellevue's occupied homes are rented. So the rental market here reaches well beyond downtown apartments.

Weather affects scheduling too. Omaha averages about 135 freezing nights a year and about 40 days with an inch or more of snow on the ground, so a winter move brings slush across every floor. Do the clean after the last load, not before.

What the One-Time Moving Clean includes

It is designed for an empty home, and it is the only TotalCare Cleaning service that goes inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. It also covers bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors and dusting through the home.

It does not include removing furniture, bags or construction waste, or treating mold. Leave the water and power on so the team has hot water and light. It can also be used for a move-in, ideally before your boxes come through the door. With about 61 percent of Omaha's housing built before 1980, a good many rentals have older kitchens that deserve it.

Where everything else goes

Sort this out ahead of the cleaning so the floors are clear. Omaha and its neighbors each have their own options.

A short checklist for the final days

Read your lease and note any specific cleaning language. Give your new address in writing so the balance and itemization can reach you. Take dated photos after the clean, with the oven and refrigerator doors open, and save your receipt. If you have a problem you cannot resolve, the Nebraska Attorney General's Protect the Good Life site accepts complaints about a business.

Price by home size

A Moving Clean runs $350.00 to $727.00 across the five rows, priced by the home, not by the hour. Starting prices are $350.00 for a one bedroom, $440.00 for a two bedroom and $480.00 for a three bedroom. See the cost page for the complete tables, or the deep cleaning guide if you are staying in the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Omaha 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.
Within 14 days after the tenancy ends, with a written itemization of anything kept. The law also caps a deposit at one month's rent, plus up to one quarter of a month's rent for a pet. Give your new address in writing so the paperwork can reach you.
Omaha's bulky item program lets a household dump up to 4 times a calendar year at River City Transfer, with no appointment. It takes furniture, mattresses and countertop appliances. A cleaner will not haul these items, so deal with them before the visit.
It is better not to. UnderTheSink, the household hazardous waste facility for Douglas and Sarpy Counties, takes paint, pool chemicals and household cleaners. Clear them out along with everything else, so the kitchen and cabinets can be cleaned empty.
La Vista's Rental Inspection Program has required landlords to register rental properties with the city by March 1 each year since 2010. For questions about an inspection of your unit, ask your landlord or the city directly, since the terms belong to them.
Yes. It is the same service for a move-in, and many buyers want the inside of cabinets and the oven done before unpacking. About 61 percent of Omaha's housing is older than 1980, and it is much simpler before your furniture arrives.
