Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning That Protects Your Deposit
Professional cleaning from a bonded and insured GTA team.
Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning Done Right
Moving is one of the most stressful days of the year, and the last thing you want on top of it is a landlord walkthrough that costs you your deposit. Cleaning Hive’s move-in and move-out cleaning is built for exactly that moment: a detail clean performed to the standard property managers actually inspect for, quoted against your own checklist when you have one, and scheduled around your move date, not ours.
Whether you’re a tenant trying to get every dollar of your deposit back, a landlord turning a unit around between tenants, or a homeowner moving into a place that needs a reset before the boxes arrive, the same background-checked, bonded and insured cleaners handle the job, with supplies and equipment included.

How It Works
Step 1, Book around your move date. Choose move-in or move-out cleaning, pick the date that works around your key handover, and tell us your home’s size online at cleaninghive.ca/booking, or call (647) 558-7282 for a free quote.
Step 2, Get a written estimate, quoted against your checklist. Send us your landlord’s or property manager’s checklist and we’ll quote against it line by line, in writing, so there are no surprises at the walkthrough.
Step 3, We clean to inspection standard. Expect the visit to take longer than a regular clean, that’s the point. You don’t need to be home; keys, lockboxes and concierge desks all work fine.
Step 4, Walk through with confidence. Whether it’s the landlord’s final inspection or your own first night in a fresh place, the guarantee covers anything that fell short.
