Move-Out Cleaning in Houston, TX
Texas Nova Cleaning provides move-out cleaning across Houston — a heavy-duty empty-home clean with inside appliances included, built for walkthroughs, deposits and closings.
Move-out cleaning is the one service where the inside of the oven and refrigerator are automatically included — because they are exactly what landlords, property managers and buyers inspect. This is a heavy-duty clean of an empty home, scoped to the standard a walkthrough is actually judged against.
It always comes with a date attached: a lease end, a closing, a handover. End of month books first everywhere in Houston, so the single best thing you can do is send your date as soon as you know it.

Apartment move-outs start at $249 for a studio or one-bedroom. Two units at the same address on the same day: the second unit is 40% off. See the full price list or read our Houston house cleaning cost guide.
Why our number looks higher, and usually isn’t. Most Houston cleaning companies quote before tax. Texas adds 8.25%, so a $179 quote is $194 at the door. Ours is the opposite — the number you see is the number you pay.
Move-Out Cleaning Questions, Answered
Will this get my deposit back?
It gives you the best possible chance. We clean to what landlords actually inspect — inside the oven, inside the fridge, cabinet interiors, baseboards. We cannot control the decision, but cleanliness will not be the reason.
Are the oven and fridge really included?
Yes. Move-out is the one service where inside appliances are included automatically, not add-ons.
How far ahead should I book?
The moment you know your date. End of month is the busiest window in Houston every single month.
Does the home need to be empty?
Empty is strongly recommended — cabinet and drawer interiors can only be done when empty, and the whole clean is faster and cheaper.
Do you serve apartments as well as houses?
Yes — apartments, townhouses, condos and houses, priced by size.
