Move out cleaning in KL and Selangor from Home Services KL is a full clean of an empty or furnished rental before the handover inspection, done by our own cleaners. It starts at RM350 for a studio or 1-bedroom unit of up to 800 sqft. Tools and supplies are included, and the same clean gets a home ready before you move in. Send the unit size and handover date with a few photos on WhatsApp to +60 11-4971 6909; we reply with the price and how long the job takes.

Prices assume your own belongings are packed and out of the way. A furnished rental is fine: the landlord’s furniture stays, and we clean it inside and out. Units above 1,800 sqft and duplexes are quoted from photos, the same way as landed houses.
Move-out cleaning checklist
With the home empty, the cleaners can reach what daily life hides. Every cabinet and wardrobe is done inside, and so are the appliances and the tracks under sliding doors.
Kitchen
- Inside and outside of every cabinet and drawer
- Hood and hob degreased, along with the tiles behind them
- Inside the fridge and freezer, once they are switched off and defrosted
- Inside the oven and the microwave
- Sink and tap, with water stains removed, and the drain cover
Bathrooms
- Toilet bowl and cistern, inside and out
- Wall and floor tiles scrubbed, grout lines included
- Shower screen and taps cleared of water stains
- Inside the vanity and the mirror cabinet
- Floor trap and shower drain cover
Bedrooms and living areas

How long a move-out clean takes
Time depends on floor area, how many years the home was lived in and how much grease and water staining built up over the tenancy. As a guide, a studio or 1-bedroom takes 2 cleaners 3 to 4 hours, a 2-bedroom takes 2 cleaners 4 to 5 hours, and a 3-bedroom takes 3 cleaners 5 to 6 hours. Years of kitchen grease or heavy water staining add an hour or two, and we say so in the quote.
Book it for after the movers leave. Cleaning around boxes is slower, and the floor under them gets missed. If the handover is the next morning, an afternoon slot the day before leaves you time to check the result yourself.
Aircon before the handover
If your tenancy agreement asks for the aircon to be serviced before you leave, book it in the same WhatsApp chat as the clean. A routine aircon servicing covers the filters and the coil surface as well as the drain. If the aircond still smells musty after servicing, an aircon chemical wash is the next step: it cleans the coil and blower inside the unit. Book the aircon visit first, so the cleaners deal with any drips it leaves.
Moving in instead
A move-in clean is the same job at the other end of a tenancy. The unit is empty, so cabinets, wardrobes and the fridge are easy to reach, and nothing of yours is in the way yet. If the landlord had it cleaned already, photos from your check-in inspection show us how much is left to do.
An empty unit is also the easiest time to spot a leaking tap, a slow drain or a cabinet door that will not close. Report anything like that to the landlord in writing, with photos, before your things go in.
Before you hand back the keys
The clean is one step of the handover. If you are an expat tenant leaving KL, book it as soon as your flight and handover dates are fixed, because the last week before a flight fills up with other errands. A few other steps are easy to forget:
- Read the tenancy agreement for clauses on cleaning, aircon servicing or repainting
- Compare the home with the inventory and photos from when you moved in
- Collect every key, access card and remote to hand back
- Photograph each room after the clean, with the date visible on the files
Before the handover inspection: timing, lift and loading bay
In a KL condo, the handover has an order that saves a second visit:
- Book the clean for one to three days before the inspection, after the movers have left and before the landlord or agent walks through.
- The service lift and loading bay are usually booked through the management office for the movers; tell us the condo name and the movers’ slot, and the cleaners come in after them, registered at the guardhouse the same way.
- If the tenancy agreement asks for the aircon to be serviced or chemically washed before you leave, book that visit first in the same WhatsApp chat, so the cleaners finish last.
- Photograph each room once the cleaners are done and send the photos to the landlord or agent with the keys.

How much does move-out cleaning cost in KL?
The table gives the starting price for each size. Within a size band, the price moves with:
- How much kitchen grease and bathroom staining built up during the tenancy
- Whether the unit is furnished, with wardrobes, beds and a sofa to clean around and inside
- Extra bathrooms or a large balcony
- For landed houses, the number of floors and the staircase
Photos of the kitchen and bathrooms, plus one of the floors, are enough for us to price the job, and we confirm the figure before you book. Landed houses are always priced this way, because two terraces of the same size can need very different amounts of work.
Move-out cleaning FAQ
How much does move-out cleaning cost for a condo in KL?
Move-out cleaning by Home Services KL starts at RM350 for a studio or 1-bedroom up to 800 sqft, RM500 for a 2-bedroom up to 1,200 sqft and RM700 for a 3-bedroom up to 1,800 sqft, with tools and supplies included. Landed houses are quoted from photos.
What is typically included in a move-out cleaning?
A move-out clean covers the inside of cabinets and wardrobes, the kitchen hood and hob, bathroom tiles and grout, windows from inside, doors and floors. The fridge and oven are cleaned inside once they are empty and switched off. Painting and wall repairs are not part of it. Mould on walls or ceilings is an add-on, treated with our anti-mould and anti-fungal solution and quoted from photos.
Is move-in cleaning priced the same as move-out?
Yes. Home Services KL uses one table for both, from RM350 for a studio or 1-bedroom up to RM700 for a 3-bedroom of up to 1,800 sqft. Landed houses are quoted from photos for both.
What is move-in move-out cleaning?
It is a full clean of a home between tenants or owners, done while it is empty or holds only the landlord’s furniture. Unlike a regular session, it goes inside cabinets and appliances, because nothing of yours is in them.
Does the unit need to be empty?
Your own things should be packed and out, or stacked in one room that we skip. The landlord’s furniture can stay; we clean around it and inside the wardrobes and cabinets.
Can you clean on the day of the handover inspection?
Yes, if the movers have finished and there is enough time before the inspection. The day before is safer, because it leaves time to look over the result with the lights on.
Will move-out cleaning get my full deposit back?
No cleaner can promise that, because the landlord decides deductions and some are for damage or unpaid bills. What a move-out clean does is remove dirt as a reason to deduct. Take photos after the clean as a record of how the home was handed back.
What if the landlord finds something that was missed?
Message us within 48 hours of the clean with a photo of what was missed, and we send the cleaners back to do it at no charge. Dust brought in afterwards, for example by movers coming back for a last load, is a new job rather than a miss.
