Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Ceres & Salida Renters

Moving is stressful enough without losing part of your deposit over a dirty oven. Landlords and property managers in Ceres and Salida inspect the same handful of things every time — and most deposit deductions come down to cleaning, not damage. Here's the room-by-room checklist we use on every move-out job.

Kitchen

• Inside and outside of the oven, stovetop and range hood
• Inside the refrigerator and microwave
• All cabinets and drawers wiped inside and out
• Sink scrubbed and faucet polished
• Counters and backsplash degreased

Bathrooms

• Toilet, tub and shower scrubbed and disinfected
• Grout and tile cleaned, soap scum removed
• Mirrors, counters and cabinets wiped
• Exhaust fan cover dusted

Every room

• Baseboards, door frames and light switches wiped
• Interior windows, sills and tracks
• Closet shelves and floors
• Walls spot-cleaned for scuffs and marks
• Floors vacuumed and mopped last, on your way out

Don't want to do it yourself?

A professional move-out clean almost always costs less than the deposit you'd lose — and it saves you a full day on your hands and knees during an already-hectic week.
