Move-out and move-in cleaning · Salt Lake City, UT
Salt Lake Valley
Utah law names cleaning as an allowed deposit deduction, so the state of the unit on your last day matters. Here is how the rule works and what a Moving Clean takes care of.
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 Salt Lake City. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.
Pricing starts at $391 for 1 bedroom through $817 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →Over half of the occupied homes in Salt Lake City are rented, and Utah's deposit statute is direct about cleaning. A landlord can charge for it, which makes this one of the more practical moving-day questions to think through.
This is general information, not legal advice. For a specific dispute, start with your lease and the statute.
Utah law gives a landlord 30 days after a renter moves out to return the deposit balance with a written, itemized list of any deductions. Cleaning of the unit is an allowed deduction. That is plainer than in many states, and it means a dirty oven can become a line on your list.
If a landlord misses the 30 day deadline, the renter can serve a notice giving five business days to comply, with a penalty if the landlord still does not. Knowing that step exists is useful, so keep the date you moved out and a copy of any letter you send.
The simplest way to protect the deposit is to leave nothing for that list. A receipt for a professional clean, plus dated photos, shows what condition the home was in when you left.
About 54 percent of occupied homes in Salt Lake City are rented, and about 30 percent of units are in buildings with 20 or more units. The University of Utah enrolls more than 38,000 students on a 1,534 acre campus, and Westminster University is in Sugar House, so there is a steady flow of leases near both.
Suburbs have fewer renters. About 35 percent of occupied homes in Murray, about 25 percent in Sandy and about 19 percent in South Jordan are rented. In those places a Moving Clean is often for a seller or a buyer rather than a tenant, and it works the same way.
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 throughout, including the mineral film that this water leaves on sinks and faucets.
It does not include removing furniture or anything else left behind, repairing walls, or remediating mold. Keep the power and water on. Buyers and new tenants use the same service for a move-in, which is easiest before the boxes are inside.
Deal with disposal before cleaning day, so that floors are clear. The rules differ by city, so these notes apply to Salt Lake City residents unless your own city says otherwise.
Weather affects the order of things. The airport averages 51.9 inches of snow a year, mostly from December through February, so a winter move brings slush across every floor. July's normal high of 94 degrees makes for a tiring summer move, and the heat dries water spots onto everything quickly. Either way, the clean should go after the last load, not before.
Reread the lease for any cleaning clause. Empty the refrigerator, cabinets and oven drawer. Book your Moving Clean after the last load and before the walkthrough. Take dated photos of each room, including the open oven and refrigerator, then keep those with your receipt. Give your forwarding address in writing so the balance and list can reach you. Landlords can use the same service between tenants, with repairs and paint finished first. If you need more information on a business, the Utah Division of Consumer Protection offers a search of its legal actions.
A Moving Clean runs $391.00 to $817.00 over five sizes, priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included. An empty one bedroom starts at $391.00, a two bedroom at $493.00 and a three bedroom at $538.00. See the cost page for every row, or the deep cleaning guide if you are staying in the home.
