Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning
Start Fresh or Leave It Spotless

Whether you are leaving a rental and need it inspection-ready, or moving into a new place and want it thoroughly cleaned before you unpack, our move-in/move-out cleaning service handles it all. We focus on the details that landlords and property managers check — inside cabinets, appliance interiors, bathroom fixtures, window tracks, and every surface in between.

Move-in/move-out cleaning is one of our most requested services in Addis Ababa, especially among the rental communities in Bole, CMC, and Summit. We understand what property managers and landlords look for during inspections, and we clean accordingly. Our teams work efficiently in empty or near-empty spaces, which allows us to reach areas that are normally inaccessible when furniture is in place. For tenants, a clean handover often means the difference between getting your deposit back and losing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I hire trained move-in cleaning experts in Ethiopia?
Che Cleaning Services provides professional move-in and move-out cleaning across Addis Ababa. Our cleaners are trained specifically for property transition cleaning, focusing on the detailed work that landlords and property managers inspect. Call +251 911 084 409 to schedule.
How far in advance should I book move-out cleaning in Addis Ababa?
We recommend booking at least 3 days before your move-out date, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on availability. During peak moving seasons (end of month, holiday periods), booking a week ahead is advisable.
Will move-out cleaning help me get my rental deposit back?
In most cases, yes. A thorough professional cleaning addresses the areas landlords inspect most closely — kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, cabinets, and floors. Many of our clients report that the cleaning cost is significantly less than the deposit amount they recover.
Do you clean empty apartments before new tenants move in?
Yes. Move-in cleaning is especially effective in empty units because we can reach every surface without furniture in the way. We clean inside all cabinets, sanitize bathrooms, scrub floors, and ensure the space is ready for the new occupant from day one.
