What’s included and what’s extra
Laundry and mudroom areas receive light cleanup only. We do not wash dishes or wash, dry or fold clothes. Bed-linen changes are available upon request for an additional $20 per bedroom. Cleaning inside appliances, cabinets or storage areas costs extra; ask us first and we’ll quote it. Extra tasks are agreed and quoted before booking.
For your first cleaning, we review your rooms, their condition and your priorities with you. We confirm the work and price before booking, including any additional attention needed.
Same crew. Empty rooms. Then the boxes.
Daniela Marque and her own small crew clean your new Westfield home before the boxes arrive; nobody is subcontracted. Share the address, the date you get the keys and who can let us in; it is priced as a one-time job, not at the weekly rate, and a clean right behind the moving truck on the same day is not promised.
- We confirm your key date and access before we hold a slot
- ✅ NJ MBE certified, owner-run move-in cleans
- ✅ Moving in with pets? Say so when you send the key date
- ✅ A move-in item we missed? Report it within 24 hours, before the house fills up, and we re-clean it free while access is still available. That is a reporting deadline, not a same-day return. Guarantee terms
- One-time move-in price confirmed before booking
- ✅ Move-in cleans Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
- ✅ Photos of the empty rooms only if you ask before we start
- ✅ $1,000,000 general liability coverage in your new home
Give us the key date and who holds access, and we plan the clean before your furniture arrives.
Book Move-In Cleaning Westfield →Get the key date settled before the boxes arrive.
Westfield has about 11,000 homes, and 81.1% are owner-occupied according to the 2024 American Community Survey. If you are buying, remember that a closing date alone does not hold a cleaning slot; send the date the keys are actually yours.
For your Westfield move-in, send the date you may enter, who holds the key and when furniture is due. We quote the vacant rooms with water, power and clear floors ready. A closing date alone does not confirm a cleaning appointment.
Before we confirm
Identify empty cabinets, drawers, fridge and oven interiors you want included; each must be quoted first. Share care instructions for new finishes and tell us about remaining contractor work. We confirm a weekday window and do not promise to follow the moving truck the same day.
Key date, access and rooms
Send your address, key date and who has access. This is a one-time quote, not the weekly rate. We do not promise to follow the moving truck the same day.
New Westfield homeowners and renters, cleaned once the keys are in hand. Crew from Kenilworth. Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
Send your key dateWhat has to be true on the day
A move-in clean is a one-time quote, not the weekly rate. These conditions decide whether the date works.
Planning range
Our guide lists $260–$900+ (1-bedroom $260–$380 up to $540–$900+ for a 4+ bedroom house) for a typical home. It is not a fixed quote or a cap; size, baths, condition and extras set the price.
Keys and closing
A closing date alone is not a booking. The slot must exist on our Kenilworth Route 22 run and access must be real.
Water and lights
Both must be on. We do not work a dark or dry house.
Items left behind
Tell us. We clean around them or skip those rooms; we do not haul trash or furniture.
Cabinets
Empty does not mean every cabinet interior is included. Interiors are a separate line.
Moving truck
Cleaning on the heels of the moving truck that same day is not something we commit to.
What to send for a move-in quote
The details that set the price and the date for an empty-house clean.
Address and key date
Where the house is and the date the keys are yours.
Who has access
The person or agent who can let the crew in before you move.
Size and bathrooms
Bedrooms, bathrooms and any finished basement to include.
Condition
A free walk-through of the kitchen and baths as the seller left them helps the quote.
Rooms to include
Every room, or just the ones you need before the furniture arrives.
Extras
Cabinet, closet or appliance interiors you want cleaned, priced as separate lines.

From Our Google Reviews
"Absolutely amazing experience!"
Absolutely amazing experience! The team was friendly, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they truly care about their work and their customers. Walking into my home after they finished was the best feeling—everything was fresh, clean, and sparkling. I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to friends and family!

Helpful guide: Move-In Cleaning Before the Furniture Arrives
Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
Yes. We bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum.
Payment
We accept Zelle, Venmo and checks.
Weekday appointments
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Time for the visit
It depends on the size and condition of the home. We don’t rush: Daniela checks every room before the crew moves on to the next, so larger homes and first visits take longer.
Tipping
Tips are never expected, but always appreciated.
Changing an appointment
Give 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to someone else.
Optional keys and access
You do not need to be home if authorized entry is arranged. Providing a key or access code is optional and your choice. If you give us a key for recurring visits, we keep it on file, labeled, for your scheduled visits and return it whenever you ask or when service ends. We only accept one if you choose to give it to us. Share door, lockbox or alarm codes privately when arranging access, not in the quote form.
Missed agreed tasks
Report a missed item on the agreed checklist within 24 hours. We re-clean that item free while we still have access. This is the reporting deadline, not a promise to return that day. Guarantee terms
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

FAQ — Move-In Cleaning Westfield
What do you need to book a move-in clean?
The address, your key date and who has access. Move-in work is priced once as a single job, separate from weekly rates. We cannot guarantee a same-day slot right after the moving truck arrives.
How much is move-in cleaning in Westfield?
For planning, our pricing guide lists a typical home range of $260–$900+ (1-bedroom $260–$380 up to $540–$900+ for a 4+ bedroom house); this is not a fixed quote or a price cap. Your price depends on the home’s size, bathroom count, condition, accessible rooms and requested extras. We confirm the tasks and exact price before booking. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors cost extra; an empty home does not automatically include them.
What does a move-in clean include?
Agreed empty rooms: kitchen exteriors, baths, floors, dusting. No dishes. No laundry. Inside fridge, oven or cabinets extra.
Does empty mean every cabinet is included?
No. Interiors are a separate line. Say so before we book.
Can you clean the day we get keys?
Only if the slot exists on the Kenilworth Route 22 run and access is real. Closing date alone is not a booking.
What if the seller left stuff?
Tell us. We clean around it or skip rooms. We do not haul trash or furniture.
Utilities?
Water and lights on. Without power or running water, the crew cannot clean.
Who cleans before we move in?
Daniela Marque cleans your new home with her own small crew; no subcontractors. NJ MBE #A0654-63. A move-in item we miss is re-cleaned free if you report it within 24 hours and we still have access; that is the deadline to tell us, not a promise to return the same day. Guarantee terms
How far ahead should I book a move-in clean?
As soon as you know the key date. The slot has to exist on our Kenilworth Route 22 run, and a closing date alone does not hold one.
Can you clean while painters are still working?
No. The rooms need to be finished and walkable. If other work is happening, book the clean for after it is done.
Is the move-in clean the same price as weekly cleaning?
No. It is a one-time quote based on size, bathrooms, condition and extras. Our guide lists $260–$900+ (1-bedroom $260–$380 up to $540–$900+ for a 4+ bedroom house) for a typical home, but it is not a cap.
Do you clean inside the kitchen cabinets?
Only if you add them. Cabinet and appliance interiors are separate lines, priced before we book.
What if the water or power is not on yet?
We cannot clean a dark or dry house. Both need to be on before the visit, so check with the utility before your key date.
