Moving is stressful enough without adding deep cleaning to your to-do list. Whether you're leaving a place behind or preparing to settle into a new one, the last thing you want to do is spend hours scrubbing floors and cleaning out cabinets.
Orchids Cleaning Service provides professional move-in and move-out cleaning for homes and apartments throughout the Hendersonville area and Western North Carolina. We handle the detailed cleaning so you can focus on the move itself.
With 22 years of professional cleaning experience, owner Eloida "Eli" Velasquez and our team understand what landlords, property managers, and new homeowners expect. We deliver the thorough cleaning that helps renters get their security deposits back and gives new occupants a fresh start.
Move-Out Cleaning
When you're leaving a rental, move-out cleaning can make the difference between getting your full security deposit back and losing money to cleaning fees. Landlords and property managers look for specific things during move-out inspections, and we know what they're checking.
Move-out cleaning goes beyond routine cleaning. We give attention to areas that accumulate grime over time and often get overlooked. Our approach is to work with each client to understand what they need cleaned and where they want us to focus our attention. We'll discuss the specific requirements of your situation, whether that's meeting landlord expectations or simply leaving a home in good condition for the next occupants.
Move-out cleaning typically addresses kitchens thoroughly, including inside and behind appliances, inside cabinets and drawers, countertops and backsplashes, sinks and fixtures, and range hoods and exhaust fans. Bathrooms receive deep cleaning attention including scrubbing tile, grout, and fixtures, cleaning inside cabinets and vanities, addressing soap scum and hard water buildup, and making sure mirrors and glass shine.
Throughout the rest of the home, we clean inside closets and storage areas, wipe down baseboards and trim, clean light fixtures and ceiling fans, address walls and remove marks where possible, and make sure windows and window sills are clean.
Move-In Cleaning
Moving into a new place should feel exciting, not gross. Even if the previous occupants cleaned before they left, there's usually more to do before a space feels truly ready for your belongings.
Move-in cleaning gives you a fresh start. We clean the home thoroughly before you unpack, so you're not discovering dirty cabinets or grimy bathrooms after your boxes are already in the way.
Like move-out cleaning, we customize our approach based on your needs. Some clients want us to clean everything. Others have specific areas of concern they'd like us to prioritize. We'll discuss your situation and make sure we address what matters most to you.
Move-in cleaning covers all the same areas as move-out cleaning, with the added benefit that you get to enjoy the results. There's something satisfying about putting your belongings into cabinets and closets that you know are genuinely clean.
What Makes Move Cleaning Different
Move cleaning is more intensive than regular cleaning because you're dealing with accumulated dirt and empty spaces that reveal everything. Regular cleaning maintains a lived-in space. Move cleaning resets a space to baseline.
This means we spend more time on areas that build up grime over time, places that are usually covered by furniture or belongings, inside spaces like cabinets, closets, and appliances, and details that get skipped during routine cleaning.
We have 22 years of experience knowing where to look and what to address. We've seen what landlords check during inspections and what new occupants notice when they move in.
Our Approach
We understand that move cleaning often happens under time pressure. You may have a move-out inspection scheduled. You may be trying to get into your new place before the moving truck arrives. We work with your timeline.
The process starts when you contact us. We'll discuss the space, what type of cleaning you need, any specific concerns or requirements, and your timeline. Based on that conversation, we provide a free estimate.
When scheduling, we do our best to accommodate your timeline. We prefer a week or two notice when possible, but we understand that move dates can shift unexpectedly. If you need cleaning sooner, contact us and we'll see what we can do.
On cleaning day, we arrive on time and get to work. We're efficient and thorough. We stay until the job is done to your satisfaction. If you have a move-out inspection or specific requirements, we make sure to address them.
Additional Services
Beyond standard move cleaning, we can help with carpet deep cleaning to refresh carpets before or after a move, window cleaning for interior and exterior windows, appliance deep cleaning for ovens, refrigerators, and other appliances that need extra attention, and garage or storage area cleaning.
If there's something specific you need for your move, ask us. We're flexible and want to help make your transition smoother.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book move cleaning?
We prefer a week or two notice when possible, but we understand that moves don't always go according to plan. Contact us as soon as you know your move date, and we'll do our best to fit you in.
Can you help me get my security deposit back?
We can't guarantee your landlord's decision, but we can provide the thorough cleaning that addresses the issues landlords typically check. Many of our clients schedule move-out cleaning specifically to maximize their deposit return.
Should I schedule move-out cleaning before or after I move my belongings out?
After. We can clean much more effectively when the space is empty. We can access all areas, address marks and dirt that were hidden by furniture, and clean inside all closets and storage spaces.
Can you clean before my furniture arrives?
Yes, move-in cleaning works best before your belongings arrive. This way we can thoroughly clean all surfaces that will soon be covered by furniture, and you can start unpacking into a clean space.
What if my move date changes?
Let us know as soon as possible, and we'll work with you to reschedule. We understand that moves often face delays or date changes.
Do you clean the inside of appliances?
Yes, we clean inside refrigerators, ovens, and other appliances as part of move cleaning. If appliances need extra attention due to heavy buildup, let us know so we can plan accordingly.
