FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Customer Reviews: Moving Cleaning in Auburn and Opelika, AL

Worked with Alyssa and her Team when I was preparing my home to put it up for sale. Alyssa went above and beyond by giving me me a quote to clean the house from top to bottom but also took the time to help me find a reasonable, reliable moving company to work with. She did all this prior to even getting a commitment from me to use her services! That is outstanding customer service!
As far as cleaning of my home, they did a fantastic job! The house smelled fresh and everything was cleaned thoroughly! If you need cleaning services, Polished Oak goes above and beyond! I recommend Alyssa and her Team 100%! Thank you, Polished Oak Team!

GOOD TO KNOW

Move cleaning questions, answered.

What is included in move-in or move-out cleaning?

We clean throughout the empty home, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. The checklist on this page covers appliance interiors, cabinets and drawers, baseboards, closets, glass and floors. We confirm the property condition and agreed scope before the visit.

Should the home be empty before you arrive?

For the most complete move clean, arrange cleaning after belongings have been removed and before the next occupants move in. Tell us about furniture or boxes that will remain so we can agree on accessible areas.

Are the oven, refrigerator and cabinet interiors included?

Yes. Our move cleaning checklist includes the oven interior, refrigerator interior, and cabinets and drawers. Please empty these areas before the visit and tell us about any special appliance care instructions.

Can you clean before a move-in inspection or key handover?

Share your handover date, access instructions and any inspection checklist when requesting a quote. Our team confirms availability and scope before scheduling. A cleaning service does not guarantee a deposit refund or inspection outcome.

How is a move cleaning quote calculated?

The quote depends on square footage, the property condition and the detail needed. Include any buildup, appliance condition or extra requests so our team can confirm an appropriate scope.

Do the water and electricity need to stay on?

Please keep working water and electricity available during cleaning. Let us know in advance if utilities will be disconnected so we can review what can be completed.

Do I need to be there during the cleaning?

You can provide agreed entry instructions instead of being present. Our team needs a reliable way to access the home and a contact number for questions during the visit.

Rooted in excellence. Dedicated to service.
