What is move-in and move-out cleaning?
Move-in and move-out cleaning is a thorough clean carried out when a property changes hands between tenants, owners or occupants. It covers every room, cupboard, surface and floor so the property is left spotless for the next person to move into, or returned to the condition expected when handing back a rental. At Exceeding Limits Cleaning Services we provide this service across Johannesburg and Gauteng for tenants, landlords, homeowners and estate agents.
Whether you are moving into a new home and want it properly clean before you unpack, or moving out and need the property handed back in good condition, our move-in and move-out cleaning service in Johannesburg takes care of the entire space from top to bottom.

Who is this service for
Move-in and move-out cleaning is most commonly needed by tenants, landlords, homeowners and estate agents during a property handover. Here are the most common situations our clients book us for.
Leave the property spotless and meet your landlord's handover expectations.
Start fresh in your new home before unpacking a single box.
Get your property ready for the next tenant quickly and properly.
Hand over properties to new buyers or tenants in spotless condition.
Present your home at its best for viewings and handover.
Keep turnover between tenants fast, clean and professional.
What is included
Our move-in and move-out cleaning service in Johannesburg covers the entire property from top to bottom, the same way a deep clean does, since most handovers need that level of attention.
Timing
Timing matters more for this service than any other, since properties are usually empty for only a short window between handovers.
Book your move-out clean for the same day or the day after you remove your furniture and belongings, once the property is empty. This gives us full access to every room without anything in the way.
Book your move-in clean before your furniture arrives, ideally the day before or the morning of your move. This means you walk into a completely clean, empty space and can start unpacking straight away.
Request a quote and we will get back to you fast, including after hours.
Questions and answers
Everything you need to know before booking your move-in or move-out clean. If you do not see your question here, call or WhatsApp us on 064 515 4522.
Move-out cleaning prepares a property for handover after you leave. Move-in cleaning prepares a property before you arrive.
Both cover the same thorough top to bottom clean, the only difference is the timing and who is booking it. Tenants and landlords usually book move-out cleaning, while new tenants and homeowners usually book move-in cleaning.
Yes, ideally the property should be empty of furniture and belongings.
This gives us full access to every wall, floor and cupboard without anything in the way. If some furniture or boxes are still present we can still clean around them, but the result is more thorough when the space is empty.
We can usually accommodate short notice, but booking a few days ahead gives you the best chance of securing your preferred date and time.
Move-out cleans are often needed on tight timelines, so contact us as soon as you know your move date and we will do our best to fit you in.
A thorough move-out clean significantly improves your chances of a full deposit refund, though the final decision always rests with your landlord or agent.
