Professional Make-Ready Cleaning Services

Learn the intricacies of our make-ready service

A make-ready cleaning is a type of housekeeping service used when a home is vacant. It involves the removal of all the deposited dirt, dust, and grime left by the previous occupants so that new tenants can move in. Our diligent cleaners will clean everything on the inside of the home except the paint on the walls and the glass on the windows. Make-ready cleaning is a service designed to help tenants, landlords, and homeowners when they want to move into a freshly scrubbed home.

This is how we quote our housekeeping

We base our set rate pricing of one-time and initial deep cleaning exclusively on square footage. The exception to the rule are homes that are considered EXTREMELY DIRTY (meaning they take double the amount of time needed to clean a house of comparable size). If that’s the case, Maids and Moore reserves the right to adjust the quote accordingly and call the customers before cleaning to inform them of these developments. Under these circumstances, both the customer and Maids and Moore reserve the right to back off from the new agreement.

Items NOT included in the quote

  • Carpet cleaning (Quoted separately, call us as more info is needed)
  • Window cleaning (Quoted separately, call us as more info is needed)
  • Outside & garages areas – See customer policy and procedure
  • Cleaning of walls

“We are Cole and Zoe, owners of Lively Coffeehouse & Bistro and we’ve been using Maids and Moore cleaning service for about a year now. We work 7 long days a week so finding time to deep clean the restaurant is always a tough task but knowing that we have the Maids and Moore girls coming to clean bi-weekly eases that stress. They always do a fantastic job cleaning and they even do a few extra tasks when I ask them to! The service doesn’t break the bank either so it’s well worth it! Thanks to Maids and Moore the cleanliness of our restaurant is never an issue; from ovens to flat tops to floors and walls every inch is clean!”
