Move-Out Clean in Orlando: 2BR Apartment, Full Deposit Returned
Service: Move-Out Cleaning | Location: Orlando, FL (Lake Nona) | Home: 2BR / 2BA Apartment, ~1,100 sq ft | Time: 4 hours
The Situation
A young professional moving from Orlando to Atlanta needed their apartment cleaned to lease-return standards. The property management company was known for strict inspections and heavy deposit deductions. The tenant had lived there for 3 years and the apartment showed normal wear — scuff marks, kitchen grease, mineral deposits in the bathrooms.
What We Did
- Complete kitchen deep clean: inside oven, fridge, dishwasher, all cabinets, backsplash, under sink
- Bathrooms: removed 3 years of mineral deposits, scrubbed all grout, cleaned exhaust fans
- All closets cleaned (shelves, rods, walls, floors)
- Every baseboard, door frame, light switch, and outlet cover wiped
- All windows cleaned inside, including tracks and sills
- Balcony swept and wiped down
- Full floor clean: vacuum + mop throughout
The Result
The tenant received their full $1,800 security deposit back — the property manager noted the apartment was “the cleanest unit return we’ve seen this quarter.” The cleaning cost was $295, giving the tenant a net savings of over $1,500 compared to the typical deductions other tenants in the building reported.
“Spending $295 to get back $1,800 was a no-brainer. The team was meticulous — they even cleaned inside the oven racks. My property manager was impressed and I got every penny back.”
