Philadelphia Main Line

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.

Pricing starts at $414 for 1 bedroom through $864 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →Few places in Pennsylvania have as many leases ending at once as the stretch of the Main Line between Ardmore and Villanova. Bryn Mawr alone has a large stock of student rentals, and faculty, staff and graduate students rent all along the rail line.
This guide explains what Pennsylvania law says about getting a deposit back, how to plan the last week in an apartment here, and what the Moving Clean will cover when TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Main Line.
Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 sets two rules every Main Line renter should know. First, a deposit is capped at two months' rent during the first year of a lease and one month's rent after that. Second, when the lease ends, the landlord has 30 days to return the deposit or give a written list of damages. A landlord who misses that deadline loses the right to keep any of it.
Cleaning charges are one of the most common items on that list. A home that is visibly clean at the walkthrough, with photos to show it, removes the easiest deduction a landlord can make. Give the landlord your forwarding address in writing when you hand back the keys so the return has somewhere to go.
The Main Line is home to Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, Villanova University, Rosemont College, Eastern University, Harcum College and Saint Joseph's University. Villanova alone enrolled 10,299 students in fall 2024. Roughly half of Bryn Mawr's population is between 18 and 24.
That concentration means the end of each academic year brings a wave of apartments emptying at once, with a second, smaller wave in the summer as new leases begin. Booking the Moving Clean as soon as your move date is firm is the simplest way to get the day you want.
Move-out week produces more trash than any other, and the rules change at each township line. Plan around yours before the cleaning visit, because cleaners will bag household trash for your cans but will not haul furniture, mattresses or large items.
The Moving Clean is the one service built for an empty home. The Moving Clean includes everything in the One-Time Deep Clean, such as hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, cleared window tracks and wiped fans, fixtures and vents, plus inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, inside kitchen cabinets and drawers, and inside bathroom cabinets and vanities. Prices run $414.00 to $864.00 by home size.
Many Main Line rentals sit in older buildings, from converted houses to small apartment blocks near the stations. Original cabinets and older appliances get mild products and soft pads rather than anything abrasive. If the building was put up before 1978, cleaners damp wipe and HEPA vacuum rather than dry sweeping, since the EPA notes lead dust can lift back into the air.
Work backward from the day you return the keys.
