Moving is stressful enough without worrying about getting every corner of your old home spotless before the final inspection. Creeky Clean’s move-out cleaning service is designed for one purpose: to leave your home in the condition your landlord or buyer expects — and to give you the best possible chance of getting your full security deposit back.
We serve renters, homeowners, and landlords across Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and Jonesborough, Tennessee.
What is included in a move-out clean?
Our move-out cleaning service is more thorough than a standard clean. Because we are cleaning an empty home, we can reach every surface without furniture in the way. Here is exactly what is included:

All rooms

Who is this service for?
Renters
If your lease requires you to return the property in the condition you received it, a professional move-out clean is worth every cent. Landlords can deduct cleaning costs from your security deposit — a thorough professional clean eliminates that risk. We work around your moving schedule and can often accommodate same-week bookings in Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol, Tennessee.
Moving in? We handle that too.
Moving into a new home in the Tri-Cities? Even freshly painted homes collect construction dust, and you never truly know how the previous occupants kept the place. A professional move-in clean gives you a genuine fresh start — every surface, cabinet, and appliance cleaned before your belongings arrive. We can coordinate your old home’s move-out clean and your new home’s move-in clean on the same day.
Landlords and property managers
Need to turn around a rental property quickly between tenants? Creeky Clean works with landlords and property managers across the Tri-Cities to get vacant units move-in ready fast. We can schedule cleaning the same day a tenant moves out, minimising your vacancy time. Whether you manage one rental or several properties in Johnson City, Kingsport, or Bristol, we can work around your turnover schedule.
Home sellers
A professionally cleaned home makes a stronger impression during final walk-throughs and can be a condition of your sale agreement. If you are selling your home in the Tri-Cities area, we can schedule a move-out clean to coincide with your closing date so the buyers receive a spotless property.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need to be present during the clean?
No. You can provide key access, a lock box code, or a garage door code. Our team is fully insured and background-checked. We will let you know when the job is complete.
Q: Should the home be empty before the clean?
Ideally yes — an empty home lets us clean every surface thoroughly, including under furniture and inside all cabinets and appliances. If you still have belongings to move, let us know when you book and we will work around them.
Q: How long does a move-out clean take?
It depends on your home’s size and condition. A one-bedroom apartment typically takes 2–3 hours. A three-bedroom house may take 4–6 hours. We will give you a time estimate when you book.
Q: Can you clean the same day I move out?
We do our best to accommodate tight schedules. Call us at (423) 500-2423 as early as possible and we will confirm the earliest available slot. Advance booking of at least a few days is recommended during busy periods.
Q: What if my landlord finds something they want re-cleaned?
Every Creeky Clean job is backed by our 200% satisfaction guarantee. If your landlord or property manager identifies an area we missed, contact us and we will return to re-clean it at no charge — or refund you in full.
Q: What is the difference between a move-out clean and a deep clean?
A move-out clean is designed for an empty property — we focus on restoring every surface to a landlord or buyer-ready condition, including inside appliances and all cabinet interiors. A deep clean is typically done in an occupied home to reset it to a clean baseline before starting a regular service. If you are unsure which you need, call us and we will advise.
