Move-out and move-in cleaning · Sarasota, FL
Sarasota area
A Sarasota guide to the Moving Clean for renters, sellers and buyers, built around Florida's deposit deadlines, condo building logistics and a rental market shaped by seasonal residents.
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 Sarasota. 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 →About 42 percent of occupied homes in the City of Sarasota are rented, nearly double the county share of about 23 percent. That makes move-out cleaning a regular part of city life, especially in the condo buildings close to downtown.
This guide walks through the Florida deposit rule, the practical side of moving out of a Sarasota condo, and what the Moving Clean will cover when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Sarasota.
Florida Statute 83.49 sets two clocks once a lease ends. If the landlord is not making any claim against the security deposit, it must be returned within 15 days. If the landlord intends to keep some of it, written notice of the claim must go out within 30 days.
Cleaning charges are among the most common claims. A home that is clean when the landlord walks through removes the easiest deduction to justify. Photograph each room after the clean, keep the booking confirmation, and give the landlord a forwarding address in writing so the notice reaches you.
Because the deadlines start when the lease ends, the clean belongs before the keys go back, not after. A clean done a week later does not help a walkthrough that has already happened.
About 29 percent of homes in the City of Sarasota are in buildings with 20 or more units. Most of those buildings have their own move procedures, such as an elevator reservation, padded walls in the lift, or set hours for contractors. Ask the building office for its rules before booking both the movers and the cleaners.
The best order is movers first, then the Moving Clean, then the final walkthrough. Book the clean for the morning after the truck leaves, while the elevator reservation is still fresh with the front desk, and tell the booking team how cleaners should check in.
Sarasota's rental market has a rhythm that full-time renters notice. Inside the city, about 4,700 homes, or 14.5 percent of the housing, are held for seasonal or occasional use,. Some of those units change occupants as the seasons turn, and a unit coming back from a seasonal stay needs a full reset before anyone else moves in.
If you are leaving a year-round lease, book your clean as soon as the move date is firm. If you own a unit and are switching it between a seasonal and an annual tenant, a Moving Clean between the two gives the next tenant a clean start and gives you a clear record of the unit's condition.
Recycling is mandatory for City of Sarasota residents. Use the city's Cart Smart tool to check where a specific item goes, and sort recycling before the last day so the carts are not overflowing when the cleaners arrive.
Cleaners bag ordinary household trash and recycling for your carts. They do not move or haul furniture, mattresses or boxes of belongings, so arrange removal of anything large before the clean. An empty room is the one that comes out cleanest.
The Moving Clean includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean plus the work that only makes sense in an empty home:
The median City of Sarasota home was built in 1976, so many rentals still have older tile, aged grout and original cabinets. A Moving Clean will get those surfaces as clean as they can be with safe products, but it cannot reverse stains that have set into old grout or worn finishes. Note pre-existing wear in your move-in photos, and compare them at move-out.
A Moving Clean runs $391.00 to $817.00 by home size. A one bedroom unit is $391.00 and a two bedroom, the most common size in the city, is $493.00. Buyers moving in book the same clean before unpacking.
