Why Clean Before You Move In?
Moving is the one time you can get a home truly clean. Once the couch is against the wall and the boxes are stacked in the garage, the floor under the furniture and the backs of the closets stay exactly as they were on day one. If that day one was someone else's dust, it stays someone else's dust.
An empty house or apartment lets us do the job properly. Floors get mopped edge to edge with nothing to move. Closets and pantry shelves get wiped with nothing on them. Kitchen cabinets and drawers get cleaned inside, not just on the fronts. Whether you're relocating to Indianapolis for a job at Lilly, Salesforce, IU Health or Cummins, or closing on a new build in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield or Greenwood, this is the window to do it right.
And no matter what the previous tenant or the builder's cleanup crew says, something is always left behind. Dust in the supply vents. Hair in the bathroom drains. Grease on the range hood. Drywall dust in a brand-new closet. A 1920s Meridian-Kessler or Irvington home that has changed hands a few times carries decades of it. A professional move-in clean clears all of that out, so you unpack into a place that is actually clean.

When to Book Move-In Cleaning
1After You Get Keys, Before the Movers
The ideal timing. You pick up keys, we clean the empty home, and your moving day starts in a space that is already done. Schedule us for the day after you get keys, or the morning before the truck arrives.
2Relocating for a New Job
Moving to Indianapolis for a role at Lilly, Salesforce, IU Health or Cummins and arriving with a truck behind you? Book us for the day before you land and walk into a clean home instead of a to-do list.
3Between Tenants or Owners
Taking over a lease near Butler or IUPUI, or buying a 1920s Meridian-Kessler or Irvington home from a long-time owner? Don't rely on the outgoing party's cleaning. Let us make it actually clean before your things arrive.
4New-Construction Closing
Builders in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and Greenwood clean for the final walk-through, not for living. New builds leave drywall dust in the vents, paint overspray and adhesive residue. Our post-construction cleaning handles all of that.
5Same-Week or Last Minute
Closing dates slip and lease starts get pushed. We often have same-week availability and can work around a downtown building's elevator reservation. Give us a call and we'll do our best to fit you in.

What Our Customers Say
“Got my keys on Friday, Indianapolis Cleaning Service came Saturday, movers came Sunday. The building only gave us a two-hour elevator window and they were done well before it. Inside every cabinet was spotless.”
Hannah B.
Indianapolis
“We closed on a new build in West Carmel and the builder's clean was mostly a broom. They pulled drywall dust out of every vent and closet shelf before our furniture showed up. Worth every dollar.”
Marcus B.
Carmel
“Relocated from Chicago for a job at Lilly and landed jet-lagged with a truck the next morning. The house was clean before we even got there. First night in Indiana was in a clean bed, not a dusty one.”
Priya D.
Fishers
“Bought a 1920s Tudor with original woodwork and about ninety years of dust in the built-ins. They cleaned all three floors and the basement, every closet, every radiator. The house finally felt like ours.”
Caleb R.
Meridian-Kessler
“Lease started Tuesday, movers were coming Thursday. They fit me in Wednesday morning and did a real clean on a bungalow the previous tenants had clearly not touched. Stress level dropped immediately.”
Elena V.
Broad Ripple
“Moved into a Center Grove house where the previous owners had two dogs. They did a full move-in clean with sanitizing and there was no trace of pet hair or smell when we unpacked.”
Tyler M.
Greenwood
“My new townhome needed a complete reset before I moved in. They cleaned inside the fridge, the oven, all the cabinets, the baseboards, everything. It felt brand new on day one.”
Olivia M.
Fountain Square
“Craftsman bungalow with tons of character and years of grime from the last few renters. Window tracks, grout, inside the closets, all spotless. Exactly the fresh start we wanted.”
Jordan K.
Irvington
“Took over a sublet near Butler and the previous tenant's standards were low. They came in and made it livable. The bathroom alone was worth the price. Clean slate achieved.”
Samantha L.
Butler-Tarkington
“International relocation for a Salesforce role, arrived exhausted. Having the apartment cleaned before I landed meant I could just collapse into a clean home. Perfect first night.”
Andre P.
Mass Ave
“The empty house showed every speck of construction dust and scuff from the walk-through. After they finished it was genuinely clean, not just tidy. Ready for the furniture.”
Rachel T.
Westfield
“The move-in clean covered inside the refrigerator, oven and dishwasher. The previous owners clearly skipped all three. Unpacking into a clean kitchen is underrated.”
