Access checklist

Mention your floor and parking situation when booking so we can plan. High-rise condos may have restrictions that limit truck-mounted equipment; ask us about your building.

Renters: what to know

California's courts provide general information for tenants and landlords, including security deposits. Cleaning doesn't guarantee a deposit outcome.

  • Read your lease for carpet cleaning requirements.
  • Take photos before and after.
  • Keep the receipt.
  • Ask your landlord before treating major stains or odors.

Preparing a smaller space

  • Clear floors of shoes, bags and small items.
  • Move light furniture or tell us what stays.
  • Plan for drying — run AC or fans.
  • Keep pets in a bathroom or carrier during cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

Can you clean a third-floor apartment?

Often, depending on hose reach from parking. Mention your floor when booking.

Do you clean high-rise condos?

Some buildings restrict truck-mounted equipment. Call to discuss your building.

Will cleaning get my deposit back?

We can't promise deposit outcomes; that depends on your lease and the carpet's condition.

How long will the carpet take to dry?

Usually several hours; airflow helps.

Is apartment cleaning priced differently?

We quote onsite based on rooms and condition.
