Welcome to Stress-Free Moves: Professional Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning
Moving in or out of a home can feel like juggling too many things at once. Between packing boxes, changing addresses, and coordinating logistics, the last thing most people want to worry about is scrubbing ovens or wiping down cupboards. That’s where The Glebe Clean steps in. As a family-owned cleaning service based right here in Ottawa, we help ease your moving experience with detailed and dependable cleaning that covers your empty space.
Our move-in and move-out cleaning services in Ottawa and Gatineau are designed to support homeowners, tenants, and landlords who need a fresh, sanitary starting point or a respectful handoff. We don’t rush through rooms. We go beyond the surface to make sure your home is cleared of dust, grime, and hidden messes that get missed during a busy move.
Why Choose Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Services in Ottawa and Gatineau?
A deep clean before or after a move isn’t just about making things look good — it’s about peace of mind. Whether you’ve lived in a place for years or you’re stepping into a new chapter, having a professionally cleaned home makes a big difference.
Whether you’re moving out and hoping to get your full damage deposit back, or moving in and want a truly fresh start, our Move-In/Move-Out service delivers a deep, detailed clean that tackles everything from sticky drawers to hidden grime. We’ve seen too many “clean” homes disappoint new residents, and our goal is to make sure that’s never your experience. Just make sure the home is empty, free of movers or tradespeople, and that water and electricity are on. If the space is especially dirty, we may recommend adding a First Time Clean to give our team the time they need to get it done right.

What’s Included in a Typical Service
No two homes are identical. We tailor our approach based on the size of the property, its condition, and what you need cleaned. Tenants leaving a one-bedroom flat have different requirements than owners preparing a three-storey house for sale. That said, there are certain staples in every move-in and move-out clean.
We clean all surfaces thoroughly, including often-forgotten spaces like window sills and inside closets. Kitchens and bathrooms receive extra attention, with a strong focus on hygiene, especially when fixtures have been in use for years. Appliances like the fridge and oven are cleaned inside and out. And because your home may be empty or about to be filled with personal belongings, we treat every space with care so it’s ready for the next chapter.
Whether you’re finishing a lease or passing your keys to a buyer, our cleaning service can take a nagging task off your checklist. We keep things simple, straightforward, and hygiene-focused.
Designed for Different Needs and Property Types
People seek out move-in and move-out cleaning for all kinds of situations. Some are moving into newly built homes and want to wipe away construction dust. Others are heading out of a rental and want to meet the cleaning expectations of the lease. Buyers may want the assurance that their new place doesn’t hold onto the habits or messes of its last occupants.
No matter the reason, The Glebe Clean adjusts the cleaning plan to fit the condition and layout of each space. From small flats to multi-storey family homes, our team takes the time to clean it all properly. If your space is already empty, that gives us full access to corners that often stay out of sight during regular cleans.
Whether you’re a landlord preparing for new tenants or a property manager handling several units, a detailed clean makes the space feel respected and move-in ready. The same applies to homeowners selling a house. A sparkling kitchen and clean bathrooms can influence the way new owners feel when they first walk in.
Start Fresh or Leave Proud
