The checklist, room by room.
Exactly what gets cleaned on standard, deep and move-out visits, what we mix it with, and where the scope stops. Every task is logged in your room report.

Move-out scope against a landlord's list
Our move-out clean is written against what Denver property managers inspect, not against a generic task list. Tick the add-ons your lease demands to see the real number.
- 30 daysDeposit return windowColorado law sets 30 days unless the lease states a longer period, capped at 60 days (C.R.S. 38-12-103).
- RequiredWritten itemisationA landlord who withholds any amount must send a written statement of the deductions within that window.
- 48 hoursOur booking lead timeBook the clean for the day after your furniture is out and at least one day before the walk-through.
- Every roomPhoto reportTimestamped photographs of each completed room, sent within one hour of the crew leaving.

Add-ons are charged on top of the move-out flat rate for your home size. Sample figures for this demo.
Oven, broiler pan and racks
No carbon on the floor of the oven, racks free of baked residue
The single most common deduction on Denver walk-throughs. Alkaline degreaser, 20 minute dwell, then a second pass on the door glass.
In the move-out cleanRefrigerator interior, shelves and seals
Empty, defrosted, no odour, gaskets free of mould
Pull the crisper drawers and wash the runners. Gasket folds are checked with a torch by most property managers.
In the move-out cleanInside all cabinets and drawers
Vacuumed and wiped, no crumbs in drawer runners
Cabinets must be emptied before the crew arrives. Anything left inside is cleaned around, not moved.
In the move-out cleanBathroom limescale on glass, chrome and tile
No white mineral film on shower glass or fixtures
Denver water runs roughly 6 to 10 grains per gallon, so scale builds fast. Citric acid gel, 10 minute dwell, non-scratch pad, dry buff.
In the move-out cleanBaseboards, door frames and switch plates
Hand wiped, no dust line on the top edge
Inspectors run a finger along the top edge of the baseboard. Damp microfibre, not a duster.
In the move-out cleanWindow interiors, sills and tracks
Glass clear, tracks free of grit and dead insects
Tracks are vacuumed with a crevice tool first, then detailed with a brush. Exterior glass above ground level is not included.
In the move-out cleanLight fixtures, ceiling fans and vent covers
No dust visible from floor level, no insects in shades
Reachable from a four foot step ladder. Vaulted stairwell fixtures need a scaffold and are quoted separately.
In the move-out cleanWalls: scuffs and handprints
Marks removed without burnishing the paint
Spot cleaned with a melamine pad on eggshell and satin paint only. Flat paint burnishes, so we photograph and leave it for the landlord's touch-up.
Carpet hot water extraction
Professionally cleaned, receipt attached to the move-out packet
Many Colorado leases require a receipt from a professional carpet cleaner. Ours is IICRC certified and the invoice names the unit address.
Garage floor sweep and cobweb removal
Swept, no oil pooling, corners free of webs
Oil stains older than a few weeks rarely lift. We degrease, photograph the result and note it on the report.
Nail holes, paint touch-up and caulking
Filled and painted to match
Repair work, not cleaning. We flag every hole in the photo report so you can patch before the walk-through.
Not a cleaning jobYard, patio and bulk item removal
Nothing left behind, bins emptied
We take out what fits in the kitchen bin. Furniture, mattresses and construction waste need a hauler.
Not a cleaning job
Deduction ranges are typical Denver property-manager figures shown as sample data, not legal advice. Colorado deposit rules are summarised from C.R.S. 38-12-103; check your own lease.
Dilution and dwell-time reference
What goes in each bottle, how long it has to sit there, and the surfaces it is banned from. Crew leads carry this card; it is not a secret.
| Product | Ratio | Dose per gallon | Dwell time | Where it goes, and where it never goes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral floor cleaner | 1:128pH 7 to 8.5 | 1.0 oz | No dwell, mop and go | Sealed hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminateNever: Never flood a seam. Damp mop only, wrung to no drip. |
| Green Seal all-purpose | 1:64pH 9 | 2.0 oz | 60 seconds | Counters, appliance exteriors, painted trimNever: Not on unsealed marble or travertine. |
| Quat disinfectant | 1:256about 650 ppm active | 0.50 oz | 10 minutes wet contact | Toilets, switch plates, door hardware, shared desksNever: Never wipe dry before the label contact time is up. |
| Hydrogen peroxide cleaner | 1:16about 0.5% peroxide | 8.0 oz | 1 minute bacteria, 5 minutes virus | Kitchens, exam rooms, food-contact zones after rinseNever: Not on unsealed stone or untreated aluminium. |
| Sodium hypochlorite | 1:100about 600 ppm available chlorine | 1.3 oz | 5 minutes | Hard non-porous surfaces after visible soil is removedNever: Never mix with acid or ammonia. Fresh dilution daily. |
| Citric acid descaler | 1:10about 8% citric acid | 13 oz | 10 minutes, re-wet if it dries | Shower glass, chrome, tile and fixture limescaleNever: Never on natural stone, terrazzo or polished nickel. |
| Alkaline degreaser | 1:20pH 11 to 12 | 6.4 oz | 3 to 5 minutes | Oven interiors, range hoods, commercial kitchen wallsNever: Not on bare aluminium: it etches within a minute. |
| Enzyme carpet pre-spray | 1:32pH 8 to 9 | 4.0 oz | 10 minutes before extraction | Traffic lanes and protein soils before hot water extractionNever: Do not let it dry. Extraction water stays at 150 to 180 F. |
Denver Water sits in the moderately hard band, and wells south of C-470 run harder still. That is enough calcium carbonate to film shower glass within about three weeks, which is why the descaler above is on every bathroom cart and why a first deep clean on a neglected bathroom takes longer than the recurring visit that follows it.
