The Moving Clean for San Antonio renters, sellers and buyers, with the Texas Property Code deposit rules, city bulky pickup and the hard water and dust that landlords notice at the walkthrough.
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 San Antonio. 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 →Nearly half of San Antonio's occupied homes are rented, about 48 percent by Census estimates, so a lot of households go through a move-out walkthrough at some point. Texas law sets clear deadlines for the deposit, and a few of the rules surprise people who moved here from other states.
This guide covers those rules, what to clear out before the cleaners come, and what the Moving Clean will include when TotalCare Cleaning comes to San Antonio.
Texas Property Code Section 92.103 requires a landlord to refund a security deposit on or before the 30th day after the tenant surrenders the premises. The clock depends on one detail that many tenants miss: under Section 92.107, the landlord does not have to return the deposit or send an itemized list of deductions until the tenant gives a written forwarding address. Put it in writing, keep a copy, and the 30 days mean something.
Texas law also bars a landlord from keeping any part of the deposit for normal wear and tear, which the statute describes as deterioration from the intended use of the home. Faded paint and worn carpet traffic lanes are wear. A greasy range hood, a bathtub ringed with scale or a refrigerator left full of spills is not, and those are the deductions a thorough clean removes.
Hard water is the most common giveaway. SAWS reports typical hardness of 15 to 20 grains per gallon, and after a year or two in a rental the shower glass, tub spout and sink drains carry a white crust. A Moving Clean treats shower glass for hard water spots and details every faucet, which changes how a bathroom looks at the walkthrough.
Dust is the other. Long air conditioning seasons pull fine dust onto supply vents, ceiling fans and the tops of door frames, and an empty room makes all of it visible. The Moving Clean wipes those in place, along with baseboards, blinds and window tracks.
The Moving Clean is the deep clean scope plus the inside of everything that was full while you lived there. It runs $391.00 to $817.00 by home size.
Cleaners will not move furniture or carry large items out. San Antonio Solid Waste collects brush and bulky items at the curb twice a year, and accepted items include furniture, mattresses, large appliances, water heaters, fencing and small pieces of carpet. Piles must be no more than eight cubic yards and within eight feet of the curb. If your collection is months away, plan another way to get rid of the old couch before the last week.
One detail trips up people packing up an apartment: the city no longer accepts plastic bags in the blue recycling cart, even bundled together. Moving boxes broken down go in the cart; the plastic wrap and bags do not.
Alamo Heights has its own rules. That city does not take furniture, mattresses, refrigerators, stoves or water heaters with regular trash, so a move there needs those items handled separately.
Book the Moving Clean for after the movers leave and before the walkthrough. An empty home cleans faster and better, and nothing is set back down on a clean floor. Take dated photos of each room when the cleaners finish and keep them with the cleaning confirmation and a copy of your written forwarding address. If a deduction later looks wrong, the photos and the normal wear and tear rule are what you point to.
Buyers can use the same service. A house that sat on the market collects dust in its vents and scale in its fixtures, and cleaning it before the boxes arrive is much easier than after.
