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 Wichita. 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.

About 40 percent of occupied Wichita homes are rented, which adds up to a lot of leases ending and a lot of final walkthroughs. Kansas law sets out what a tenant owes and how a landlord must handle a deposit, and a clean home at the end of a lease removes one of the easier reasons for a deduction.

TotalCare Cleaning will offer the One-Time Moving Clean for both move-outs and move-ins. This guide covers the state rules, how local trash and bulky items affect your plan, and exactly what the clean will include.

What Kansas law says about deposits

Kansas caps a security deposit on an unfurnished rental at one month of rent, with up to half a month more allowed for pets. So a deposit in Wichita is usually a meaningful sum, but a limited one, and it is worth protecting.

At the end of a tenancy, the landlord must itemize deductions in writing and return the rest of the deposit within 14 days of determining charges, and never later than 30 days after the tenancy ends. Knowing those dates helps. Keep your forwarding address in writing, keep your photos, and watch the calendar after you hand in the keys.

The law also speaks to the tenant side. Kansas requires tenants to keep their unit as clean and safe as its condition permits, remove garbage and keep plumbing fixtures clean. That does not make a landlord the judge of everything, but it does mean that grime in a tub is a fair item to question at the walkthrough. This is general information, not legal advice, so read your own lease as well.

Who is moving, and from what

Rentals here run from large complexes to single houses. About 5 percent of Wichita units are in buildings of 50 or more, while about 64 percent of all units are detached single family homes, and some of those are rented as well. A rented house has more to cover at the end of a lease than a small apartment does: more floors, more baths, sometimes a garage. Suburbs differ too. About 31 percent of occupied Derby homes are rented, and about 24 percent in Haysville.

Many of the houses are older, with about 54 percent of city units from before 1980. Old appliances and old cabinets are harder to bring back than new ones, and normal age is not the same thing as dirt. Note that difference when you photograph a place on your way out.

Clear trash and bulky items before the clean

Cleaners will bag household trash for your bins, but they will not haul furniture, debris or anything large out of the home. The way trash works in Wichita makes this worth planning ahead. The city publishes a list of the private residential haulers operating here, so your service runs through a hauler rather than the city, and it is worth asking yours about large items and when to end your account.

Wichita also funds Neighborhood Cleanup events on Saturdays, typically April to October, for eligible lower income neighborhoods, and those are worth checking if you qualify. Rules differ in the suburbs: Derby contracts with one company for weekly trash pickup, and in Andover city trash service is optional.

What the Moving Clean will cover

The Moving Clean includes everything in a deep clean, such as hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks and shower glass treated for hard water spots. It then adds the items a landlord or a new owner looks at first: inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, and inside the kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

Starting prices run $350.00 to $727.00 across the five home sizes, beginning at $350.00. The clean works best after the furniture is out, since an empty room has nothing hiding the floor or the baseboards. It also suits buyers before unpacking. In a house older than 1980, ask cleaners to skip any flaking paint and leave it for the owner to deal with.

A simple order of events

Most moves go better in the same sequence, wherever the home is in the Wichita area.

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Wichita starts at $350.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $480.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and $727.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card.

Give your forwarding address in writing, and keep your photos and any cleaning confirmation in one place until the matter is settled.
Kansas law caps the deposit on an unfurnished rental at one month of rent, and it allows up to half a month more for pets. Your lease should state the amount. If it seems higher than that, the statute is worth reading, or you can ask a tenant resource for help.
Kansas law requires tenants to keep the unit as clean and safe as its condition permits, remove garbage and keep plumbing fixtures clean. Many leases go further about final cleaning. Read yours, then compare it with what the Moving Clean covers, which includes inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
No. Cleaners will bag household trash for your own bins, but furniture and large items stay where they are. In Wichita your hauler from the city list is the first call for large items, and eligible neighborhoods can check the Saturday cleanup events that the city funds.
Yes. The same clean works for an empty home before you unpack, inside the appliances and cabinets included. It is the only TotalCare Cleaning service that covers those interiors, and it suits an older Wichita house that has had several owners before you.
