Move-out and move-in cleaning · Spokane, WA
Spokane area
Washington has some of the clearer deposit rules around, including a signed move-in checklist. Here is how those rules work and how a Moving Clean fits a Spokane lease ending.
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 Spokane. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.
Pricing starts at $350 for 1 bedroom through $727 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →About 41 percent of occupied homes in the city of Spokane are rented, about 42 percent in Spokane Valley and about 71 percent in Airway Heights. Add Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University in Cheney and Fairchild Air Force Base, and plenty of households here are on a lease with an end date. Here is how to leave one properly.
Washington law gives a landlord 30 days after a tenant moves out to return the deposit or give a full and specific statement of why any of it is kept.
A landlord who collects a deposit must give the tenant a signed written checklist of the unit's condition, including walls, flooring and appliances, at move-in. That checklist is your baseline, so find it before you start packing.
Washington law also bars keeping a deposit for wear from ordinary use, or for carpet cleaning unless the landlord documents carpet wear beyond ordinary use. So worn floors in an older unit are not automatically your cost, and a clean home helps keep the focus there.
If you have a complaint about a business located in Washington, the Attorney General's Office offers a complaint resolution service for consumers.
A One-Time Moving Clean includes everything in a deep clean: hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, degreased cabinet fronts, treated shower glass, detailed faucets and soaked stovetop grates. It also adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, which landlords usually check first.
In Spokane, hard water film on glass and faucets is one of the first things you will notice at a walkthrough, and the Moving Clean deals with it. Prices run $350.00 to $727.00 across five home sizes, starting at $350.00. See the cost page for the full table. The same clean works for moving in.
About half of Spokane's homes were built before 1960, so many rentals are in older buildings. Compare the condition against your signed checklist, and photograph every room, the inside of the oven and refrigerator, and any worn areas. Dated photos make it easy to show what was already there.
If you see flaking paint, do not scrape it to tidy up. The EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint, and settled lead dust can re-enter the air when a home is vacuumed or swept. Tell your landlord in writing instead.
Student leases. Gonzaga University and Eastern Washington University each bring their own calendar. Cheney's population rises to about 17,600 while classes are in session, so if you are at the end of a lease there, plan ahead. Roommates can split the Moving Clean, and it is often small next to the deposit at stake.
Military moves. More than 5,200 military and civilian employees work at Fairchild Air Force Base, and orders can bring a move on short notice. Read your lease early, and schedule the clean for after the last box leaves.
Winter moves. January normally brings 12.3 inches of snow and December 13.8. Movers in wet boots will undo a freshly mopped floor, so keep the clean for last.
Smoke days. The Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency advises avoiding vacuuming and dusting during smoke events unless the vacuum has a HEPA filter. If your date falls in a smoky stretch, talk about moving it.
An empty home is easiest to finish, and cleaners do not haul furniture or large items. Arrange for donations or a private pickup early, since it can take longer than you would expect. The City of Spokane requires weekly garbage collection for occupied homes inside city limits, and curbside recycling is picked up every other week on the same day, so keep track of which week you are in during your last days.
