Cheney, home of Eastern Washington University, sits 17 miles southwest of Spokane. Its 2020 population of 13,255 rises to about 17,600 while classes are in session. TotalCare Cleaning will service Cheney as part of the Spokane area, including downtown and the blocks around the university.

A railroad town and a university

Cheney grew along a rail line graded through town in 1880, incorporated on November 28, 1883, and is named for railroad investor Benjamin Pierce Cheney. The city points residents to two historic districts, the Central Cheney Historic District and the EWU Historic District.

Eastern Washington University has more than 10,000 full-time students, so the campus calendar sets much of the rhythm here. Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge lies about six miles south of town, if you want a break from all that.

Student rentals and older family homes

With so many students in town, a typical job is often a small shared rental. Kitchens and single bathrooms work hard, and a monthly or bi-weekly Recurring House Clean can keep a shared place livable. At the end of a lease, the Moving Clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, which a landlord will check.

Older homes around the historic districts need a gentler approach. Mild products and soft tools suit original woodwork and floors, and paint from before 1978 should be wiped rather than scraped. The EPA says settled lead dust can re-enter the air when a home is vacuumed or swept, so point out any flaking spots. A One-Time Deep Clean is a good first visit in a house like that.

Leaving a Cheney rental

A Washington landlord who collects a deposit must give you a signed written checklist of the unit's condition at move-in, including walls, flooring and appliances. Keep yours somewhere safe. Washington law gives a landlord 30 days after you move out to return the deposit or give a full and specific statement of why any of it is kept.

Roommates can split a Moving Clean, and the cost is usually small next to the deposit at stake. Plan it for after the last load leaves. Prices follow the home's size on the same table as Spokane; see the cost page.

Weather in a college town near Spokane

Spokane's normal annual snowfall of 45.4 inches gives a fair idea of winter here, too, with grit and slush at the door for months. A shared rental benefits from a mat and a shoe rule, since a dozen boots a day will wear out any floor. In summer, July and August normally bring less than half an inch of precipitation each, so dust is the concern instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cheney Cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

It often is, especially split among roommates. A Moving Clean covers the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, which landlords usually look at first. With more than 10,000 full-time students at the university, a good many apartments here change tenants on a regular cycle.
Fill in the signed written checklist of the unit's condition carefully, including walls, flooring and appliances, as Washington law requires your landlord to provide one. Take photos as well, and keep them together. That is the baseline you will be measured against when the lease ends.
Careful, particularly around paint. The EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint. Wipe sills with a damp cloth, do not sand or scrape, and report flaking paint to your landlord in writing. Old finishes also respond best to mild products.
No. The table is the same, based on bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, even though Cheney sits 17 miles southwest of Spokane. A small rental will usually land on the first or second row. The booking page shows the exact total before you confirm.
