About Us

What Is Move In Cleaning and Why Do You Need It Before Unpacking?

Move in cleaning is a thorough professional clean of a property before a new occupant unpacks, designed to remove the accumulated dust, grime, and residue left behind by the previous tenant so the home is genuinely sanitised — not just visually tidy.

It goes further than what most previous tenants leave behind, even after their own exit clean. Oven interiors, inside cupboards and drawers, skirting boards, window tracks, and bathroom grout are the areas most commonly overlooked between one tenancy ending and the next beginning — and they're exactly where dust, grease, and bacteria build up unnoticed.

In Sydney, incoming tenants rarely get a say in how thoroughly the outgoing clean was done, which means the standard of the property you're handed can vary enormously between one lease and the next. A move in clean removes that uncertainty entirely — it treats the property as if no clean has been done at all, so what you're walking into is genuinely fresh rather than simply presentable.

What Sydney Renters Say About Our Move In Cleaning Service

Silver Brush Cleaning is the professional cleaning service that Australians across Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and beyond come back to — because we show up, we do the job properly, and if anything's not right, we fix it.

We signed the lease on a place in Double Bay and the previous tenants clearly hadn't touched the oven in months. Silver Brush came in the day before we moved our furniture and it smelled and looked brand new by the time we arrived. Best money we spent on the whole move.

Booked Silver Brush for our new apartment in Zetland before the keys were even handed over. They coordinated with the agent for access and had everything spotless — cupboards, bathroom, floors — ready for us to walk straight in with our boxes.

Zetland

Moving into a rental in Strathfield with a newborn on the way, I wanted every surface properly sanitised, not just wiped down. Silver Brush understood exactly what we needed and didn't cut corners anywhere.

Priya S.
Strathfield

The unit we moved into in Liverpool had carpet that needed a proper steam clean before we brought our stuff in. Silver Brush handled the whole clean plus the carpets in one visit, which saved us calling two different companies.

Move Into a Genuinely Clean Home — Guaranteed by Silver Brush

Our Move-In Ready Guarantee means you will never unpack a box in a property that hasn't been properly sanitised from the previous tenancy. When you book Silver Brush for your move in clean in Sydney, we take full responsibility for the standard of the result.

Our team works through every area a previous tenant's own exit clean is likely to have missed — cupboard interiors, oven seals, skirting boards, window tracks — so what you're walking into is fresh, not just tidy. We've helped renters and homeowners across Double Bay, Zetland, Strathfield, Liverpool, Waterloo, and Mascot start their new tenancy without the nagging feeling that something was overlooked.

If anything's not right once you do your own walkthrough, send it through to us. We return to the property within 72 hours and re-clean any flagged area at absolutely no cost to you. That's a contractual commitment — confirmed in writing before we start — not a verbal promise made at booking and forgotten once you've moved your furniture in.

Common Mistakes Sydney Renters Make Before Moving In

After helping hundreds of Sydney renters settle into a new property, we've seen the same avoidable mistakes made again and again before people finally called Silver Brush.

1
Trusting the outgoing tenant's own clean

A previous tenant's exit clean is done to satisfy their own agent — not to your standard. What passes an outgoing bond inspection can still leave cupboard interiors, oven seals, and grout lines far from genuinely clean.

2
Moving furniture in before cleaning

Once boxes and furniture are in place, cleaning skirting boards, floors, and wall edges properly becomes far harder. A move in clean is most effective done in the empty window between key handover and furniture delivery.

3
Overlooking previous pet or smoking odours

Odours embedded in carpet, blinds, or air conditioning filters often aren't obvious on a first walkthrough but become noticeable within days of moving in. These need a specific sanitisation pass, not a standard surface wipe.

4
Assuming a newly built property doesn't need a clean

Construction dust, adhesive residue, and protective film left in cupboards and on fixtures are extremely common in newly completed apartments across Sydney and are frequently missed by a builder's basic handover clean.

5
Not checking the carpets before signing off on access

If carpets require a professional steam clean before you move belongings in, this is far easier to arrange before furniture arrives than afterward. Silver Brush can handle both in a single visit.

What to Have Ready Before Your Silver Brush Move In Cleaning Service

To help our team deliver the best possible result and protect your bond, please have the following ready on the day:

Empty Property

The property must be fully vacated by the previous occupant — all furniture, belongings, and rubbish removed — before our cleaners arrive.

Utilities Connected

Running water and electricity must remain active throughout the entire clean. Gas does not need to be connected.

Property Access Confirmed

Keys, lockbox codes, or a contact for the outgoing agent or building manager must be confirmed in advance of the booking date.

Timing Before Furniture Arrival

Wherever possible, schedule your move in clean before your furniture and removalists arrive — this gives our team full access to every surface without obstruction.

Flag Any Known Issues

If the outgoing agent or landlord has mentioned pet odour, smoking residue, or a specific area of concern, let us know at booking so we can treat it properly.

Payment Policy

Silver Brush does not accept direct cash payments on the day. All payments are processed securely online prior to or at the time of booking.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Move In Cleaning in Sydney

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? We’re here to help.

Do you offer a guarantee on move in cleaning?

Yes, confirmed in writing before the cleaner arrives. If anything's not right once you inspect the property, contact us within 72 hours for a free return visit.

What happens if I'm not happy with the move in clean?

Contact us within 72 hours of the clean being completed. Silver Brush re-cleans any flagged areas at no charge — this is a written commitment, not a verbal promise.

What is move in cleaning and when do you actually need it?

Move in cleaning is a thorough professional clean performed before a new occupant unpacks, removing residue left by the previous tenancy so the home is genuinely sanitised rather than just presentable, in line with general NSW tenancy guidance on property condition.

Is move in cleaning the same as end of lease cleaning?

No. End of lease cleaning (also called bond cleaning) is done by an outgoing tenant to secure their bond (nsw.gov.au). Move in cleaning is done for an incoming tenant or owner, before they occupy the property, and doesn't rely on any agent checklist.

Can you clean to a specific standard if I have allergies or a newborn coming?

Yes. Let us know at booking and we'll prioritise full sanitisation of surfaces, vents, and soft furnishings using our standard eco-friendly, non-toxic products.

What is included in a move in clean?

Full kitchen (oven, rangehood, stovetop, benchtops, cupboards inside and out), all bathrooms (grout, shower screens, exhaust fans), all floors, skirting boards, window tracks, blinds, light fittings, and wall spot cleaning.

Do I need to be home during the move in clean?

No. Most clients arrange lockbox or agent access. A walkthrough afterward, ideally before furniture arrives, is recommended.

How long does a move in clean take?

Studio/1-bedroom: 3–5 hours. 2-bedroom: 5–7 hours. 3-bedroom: 6–9 hours, depending on the condition left by the previous occupant.

Do your cleaners bring their own products and equipment?

Yes, all professional-grade eco-friendly products and equipment required — non-toxic and safe for a home you're about to move into with family or pets.

Does your move in clean include carpet steam cleaning?

No, it's a separate add-on, but it can be booked for the same visit — ideal if you want carpets steamed before your furniture arrives.

How much does move in cleaning cost in Sydney?

Starts from a flat rate for a studio/1-bedroom, increasing with size. Flat-rate pricing means no hourly blowouts or added fees on the day.

Are your cleaners police-checked and insured?

Every cleaner holds a current National Police Check (https://www.police.nsw.gov.au/checks), mandatory before assignment. Full Public Liability Insurance covers every job.

How do I book a move in clean in Sydney?

Fill in the quote form with your name, suburb, property size, and date for a confirmed price within 60 seconds, or call directly for urgent requests.

Do you offer same-day or emergency move in cleaning in Sydney?

Yes, subject to cleaner availability. Call directly if your key handover date has moved forward unexpectedly.

How far in advance should I book my move in clean?

As soon as your key handover date is confirmed — ideally three to five days ahead, especially around end-of-month and weekend move dates when slots fill quickly.
