What's Covered

Every Area
Inspectors Check

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 Melbourne. 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.

About 40 percent of Melbourne's occupied homes are rented, and with Florida Institute of Technology in the city and condo towers along the beach, keys change hands here all year. A move-out clean is often the last thing standing between a tenant and a full deposit.

When TotalCare Cleaning comes to Melbourne, the service for an empty home will be the Moving Clean. This guide covers what Florida law says about deposits, how to clear out bulky items in each city first, and what the clean itself includes. A Moving Clean for a two bedroom, two bath home is $493.00.

Florida's deposit clock, step by step

Florida's landlord and tenant statute sets two deadlines that start when the lease ends. If the landlord is not claiming any part of the deposit, it must come back within 15 days. If the landlord intends to keep some of it, they have 30 days to send written notice of the claim. Once that notice arrives, the tenant has 15 days to object in writing.

Cleaning charges are among the most common claims a landlord makes, and they are also the easiest to head off. A home that is clean on the day of the walkthrough gives the landlord nothing to write down under cleaning, and your own photos and the cleaning confirmation give you something to answer with if a notice does arrive.

Clear the big items before the clean

Cleaners will not move furniture, mattresses or appliances out of a home, and an empty room is the one that comes out cleanest. Each Space Coast city handles large items differently, so book the pickup early.

Melbourne. WM collects garbage, recycling and yard waste in the city, and appliances, electronics and tires need a scheduled WM pickup. Recycling goes out on Wednesdays, which is useful to know when you are breaking down moving boxes.

Titusville. Residents call the city Solid Waste Division before setting out furniture, appliances or mattresses. Refrigerator and freezer doors have to come off first, so plan that before the truck is scheduled.

Cocoa Beach. Furniture and other bulky items are scheduled with Waste Management, with fees based on cubic yards. Condo residents should also check building rules on where items can be staged.

What the Moving Clean covers

The Moving Clean includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean: hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window and sliding door tracks, ceiling fans, light fixtures and vents wiped in place, cabinet fronts degreased, shower glass treated for hard water spots, faucets detailed and stovetop grates soaked. On top of that it adds the inside of the oven, the inside of the refrigerator and the inside of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers.

In a Florida home that has had the air conditioning off for a few days after the furniture leaves, the inside of the refrigerator and the cabinets under the sinks are the places a landlord tends to open first. Leave the refrigerator unplugged and propped open after you empty it, and the clean will finish the job.

Condos, student rentals and owner occupied homes

Beachside condos. About half of Cocoa Beach's housing units are in buildings of ten or more units. Large buildings often set move hours, elevator reservations and loading rules, so confirm them with the association before booking the cleaning visit for the same day as the movers.

Near Florida Tech. Florida Institute of Technology is in Melbourne, and apartments and houses around campus turn over when students graduate or move. Book the Moving Clean for after the last load leaves, not before.

Palm Bay sales. About 80 percent of Palm Bay's occupied homes are owner occupied, so many move-out cleans there are for a sale rather than a lease. The same clean works for sellers handing over a house and for buyers who want it done before they unpack, which is covered in the deep cleaning guide for occupied homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Melbourne Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Melbourne starts at $391.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $538.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and $817.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card. This move-in or move-out clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets on top of a deep clean.
Under Florida law, a landlord who is not making a claim has 15 days after the lease ends to return the deposit. A landlord who wants to keep part of it has 30 days to send written notice of the claim, and the tenant then has 15 days to object in writing. Keep your move-out photos and the cleaning confirmation together.
No. Bagged household trash goes to the outdoor bins, but furniture, appliances and large items stay where they are. In Melbourne, appliances, electronics and tires need a scheduled WM pickup, so arrange that before the cleaning date and the rooms will be empty when the cleaner arrives.
Call the city Solid Waste Division before you set it out, and remove the refrigerator or freezer doors first, as the city requires. If the refrigerator is staying with the home, empty it and leave it open, and the Moving Clean will clean the inside.
No. It is for any empty home, whether a tenant is leaving, a seller is handing over keys or a buyer wants the place clean before moving in. In Palm Bay, where about 80 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied, many of these cleans follow a sale rather than a lease.
Yes. Check the building's move rules first, because large condo buildings often limit move hours and elevator use. About half of Cocoa Beach's housing is in buildings of ten or more units. Bulky items there are scheduled with Waste Management, with fees based on cubic yards.
