Start With a Clean Home
Move-in cleaning gives you the chance to have your new home professionally cleaned before you unpack and settle in. Whether you've just closed on a house or picked up the keys to a new rental, it's a lot easier to clean a home while it's still empty than to clean around furniture and boxes after the fact.
Moving Into a Newly Purchased Home
A full detailed clean before moving day turns into unpacking, so the first thing in every room is your own belongings, not someone else's dust.
Moving Into an Apartment or Condo
The same detailed standard applied to apartment and condo units, including kitchens and bathrooms in a smaller footprint, before your things fill the space.
Cleaning Before Furniture Arrives
With the home still empty, your cleaner can reach every wall, corner and interior space without moving boxes or working around a moving truck.
Cleaning After Receiving the Keys
Once you've got the keys, a detailed clean is one of the easiest things to schedule before the rest of the move takes over your calendar.
Starting Fresh Before Unpacking
A clean, detailed home before the first box comes off the truck means you're settling in, not cleaning around your own belongings after the fact.
Moving Into Student Housing
A detailed clean before the school year starts, for student rentals near Western University and Fanshawe College, timed around the move-in date.
What's Included in Move-In Cleaning?

Why Clean Before You Move In?
Here's why so many London homeowners and renters book a move-in clean before the truck shows up.
Start With a Professionally Cleaned Space
Move into a home that's already been cleaned top to bottom, instead of adding it to your own to-do list on top of everything else moving day brings.
Clean Hard-to-Reach Areas Before Furniture Arrives
Corners, floors and walls behind where a couch or bed frame will sit are easiest to reach while the room is still empty.
Cabinets, Drawers and Closets Cleaned Before You Fill Them
It's far simpler to clean the inside of a cabinet or closet before it holds your dishes, clothes and belongings than to empty it out later.
Less Work Waiting for You During the Move
One less task competing for your time and energy alongside packing, coordinating movers, and everything else on moving day.
Unpack Into a Home That's Already Been Cleaned
The first box you open goes into a space that's already done, so unpacking feels like settling in rather than catching up on cleaning.
Nothing Overlooked Before You Settle In
A structured checklist means appliance interiors, cabinets, drawers and closets all get covered automatically — nothing missed in the middle of a move.
Move-In Cleaning vs. Regular House Cleaning
Regular House Cleaning
Designed for ongoing cleaning and maintenance of an occupied home — kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas, kept on track visit after visit.
Move-In Cleaning
Designed for a more detailed clean before settling into a new property, with attention to areas that are easier to access before unpacking.

Why Choose TidyWay for Move-In Cleaning?
Letting someone into a home you haven't even settled into yet is a bigger trust decision than a routine visit. Here is what we put behind it.
Background-Checked Cleaners
Every cleaner clears a criminal background check before their first job. Letting someone into a home you haven't even settled into yet is a bigger trust decision, and we treat it that way.
$2M Liability Insurance
Every booking carries $2 million in liability coverage, from the moment your cleaner steps into your new home to the moment they lock up behind them.
Satisfaction Guarantee
Tell us within 24 hours if something was missed and we come back and redo it free. A move-in clean isn't finished until you say it is.
Supplies & Equipment Provided
Your cleaner arrives with everything needed for a full move-in clean — products, cloths, and a vacuum. You don't need to stock anything before you've even moved in.
Easy Online Quoting & Booking
See your exact move-in cleaning price online in about 60 seconds, then pick a date — no phone calls, no in-home estimate before anyone will give you a number.
Locally Operated
We're based in London and clean only London and the surrounding area — not a national franchise routing your booking through a call centre elsewhere.

Genuinely impressed with how fast and thorough my standard cleaning was.
Leila did a great job on our move-in clean. I was looking forward to moving in to our new rental after the clean. Place looked and smelled great. She took her time and paid attention to detail.
This company was extremely smooth to work with. The service was punctual, well-priced, and exceeded my expectations. The cleaner I was assigned, Leila, was professional and absolutely killed the clean! She had her work cut out for her with a move-out clean, and she did an amazing job. I will be recommending this company to others in my life.
