Move-out and move-in cleaning · Reno, NV
Reno and Sparks area
Nevada law lets a landlord deduct reasonable cleaning costs from your deposit, so a clean home matters here. Here is how the 30-day rule works, and how a Moving Clean fits a Reno move.
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.
TotalCare Cleaning will work with buyers, sellers, landlords, property managers, and real estate agents in Reno. 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.

Join the Opening List →About half of occupied homes in Reno are rented, and about 40 percent in Sparks. With a university, an Air National Guard base and a growing technology industry, plenty of people here are on a lease that will end sooner rather than later. Here are the rules, and how to leave a place in good order.
Nevada law requires a landlord to return the remaining security deposit with an itemized written accounting no later than 30 days after the tenancy ends, and it caps deposits at 3 months' rent.
The part that matters most for cleaning is this: Nevada law lets a landlord deduct the reasonable costs of cleaning the premises from a deposit, and allows only a reasonable nonrefundable cleaning charge. So a home that is left dirty can cost you directly, in a way the landlord is allowed to charge for.
Keep a written record of your forwarding address, dated photos of each room, and a copy of any itemized statement you receive. If a business dispute cannot be sorted out directly, the Nevada Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection looks into deceptive trade complaints and takes them online or through a toll free hotline.
A One-Time Moving Clean includes everything in a deep clean: hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, degreased cabinet fronts, treated shower glass, detailed faucets and soaked stovetop grates. On top of that, it adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
In Reno, blinds and window tracks tend to carry a good deal of fine dust, and a landlord will notice them. Prices run $350.00 to $727.00 across five home sizes, starting at $350.00. It works for someone moving in, too. The cost page shows every row.
An empty home is easiest to finish, and cleaners do not haul furniture. Plan your clearing in advance.
The City of Reno holds free neighborhood cleanup events that accept residential bulky waste in Waste Management roll off bins, but not paint, cleaning chemicals or electronics. They do not run every week, so look up the schedule early. Reno's Waste Management franchise also gives customers 20 extra waste stickers a year, so if you have a little more than usual at the end of a lease, those may be useful.
Keep recycling in the separate single stream cart. Old paint and cleaning chemicals need to go somewhere other than a cleanup event or the trash cart, so ask the city or Waste Management where to take them.
The University of Nevada, Reno is the state's flagship public university and its second largest by enrollment, so student leases come and go on their own calendar. If yours is one of them, plan the clean for after your last load and before the landlord's walkthrough. Roommates can split the cost, which is often small next to the deposit at stake.
Air National Guard households at the 152nd Airlift Wing base and new arrivals in the technology sector can also face a short-notice move. Start by reading your lease, and allow for the fact that a clean should come last, once everything is out.
Weather can affect things as well. During a wildfire smoke advisory, Northern Nevada Public Health advises keeping windows closed and not vacuuming indoors, so if your date falls in a smoky stretch, talk about rescheduling. In winter, about 5 inches of snow a month from December through February can leave an entry wet just after you clean it.
