Sparkling clean kitchen after a Grime Guardians move-out clean: countertops, cabinets, and floors spotless
Inside and out, every space photo-documented before the walkthrough.

The walkthrough you're cleaning for isn't yours.

Tenants: the deduction letter doesn't argue. It just subtracts, and cleaning is the #1 controllable line on it. "We cleaned, I swear" isn't evidence. Dated photos of every room are.

Do the deposit math. A Twin Cities deposit is usually a full month's rent, $1,500 or more sitting in someone else's account. The Deep Reset built to document it runs $849 to $1,499 by home size. That's the whole decision.

Sellers & agents: buyers open the oven. They look at the shower glass. A home that shines in photos moves differently, and the crew that preps it shouldn't be your problem the week of listing.

Straight prices

Two move-out cleans. Pick the one that fits where you are.

No hourly meter, no quote games. Flat prices by home size, the whole menu on one screen.

Top of the range

$1,500 to $1,800

That's a Disaster Reset: years of buildup, full crew, full day, quoted in writing after photos. Most homes cost a lot less.

How it works

Three steps. The deadline becomes our problem.

  1. Book below. Pick your date and tell us when the keys go back. Hard deadlines get priority slots.
  2. Your quote lands in writing before the visit. No hourly meter. If heavy buildup needs extra labor, the adjustment is capped and you approve it first.
  3. Hand over the keys, not the stress. We clean, we photograph every room, and the proof pack hits your inbox the same day.

Three things you get in writing.

Ask any other cleaner to put all three in writing. We'll wait.

The 48-hour make-it-right guarantee

If the landlord, the buyer, or you find something we missed, tell us within 48 hours and we come back to make it right, free. Fully insured. Vetted, background-checked crew.

Real reviews. Real Twin Cities homes.

"Was absolutely blown away with Grime Guardians service. They had a lot to do for my move out and they did everything absolutely perfect! And a good price/package too! Would 100% recommend to anyone that is moving and needs a good finale cleaning."
- Jon N., Google review, May 2026
"Grime Guardians was recommended by our realty to get our house ready for showings, and they did not disappoint! I came home to a house that has probably never been that clean, and it smelled so good! They were communicative, thorough, and prompt."
- Elise Z., Google review, April 2026

Fair questions.

How much does a move-out clean cost?

Prices run from $549 for a smaller home up to $1,800 for a Disaster Reset, the hoarding-level job. The Move-Out Deep Reset (inside the oven, fridge, cabinets and drawers, plus the deposit photo pack) is $849 up to 2,000 sq ft, $1,149 for 2,001 to 3,500 sq ft and $1,499 for 3,501 to 5,000 sq ft. The Elite Listing Polish, for homes you still live in that are about to be listed, is $549, $849 and $999 for the same sizes. Over 5,000 sq ft is a custom quote.

Pre-tax; applicable Minnesota and local sales tax for your service address is added at invoice. Your quote is confirmed in writing before we start, and any heavy-buildup adjustment is capped and approved by you first.

What counts as a Disaster Reset?

Years of buildup, hoarding situations, or a unit that needs a full crew for a full day. It runs $1,500 to $1,800, quoted in writing after photos or a walkthrough. Most move-outs don't need it, and we'll tell you straight if yours does.

Can you work around movers and key deadlines?

That's our specialty. Move-out jobs get priority scheduling. Tell us the date the keys go back and we work backward from it.

Do you handle damage, stains, or restoration?

Straight answer: no. We deep-clean and photo-document every room, but we can't undo damage, permanent stains, or wear. Flag any problem areas when you book and we'll tell you honestly what cleaning can fix and what it can't, before we confirm your quote.

What if the landlord still finds something?

Tell us within 48 hours and we return to make it right, free. Landlord not inspecting until next week? That's what the dated photo pack is for. You'll have dated, room-by-room proof of exactly how you left the place.

Do you do this for listings, too?

Yes. The Elite Listing Polish uses the same room-by-room clean and dated photo pack, timed for your photo shoot and showings. Agents: ask about scheduling multiple properties.

P.S.

The short version.

One vague “cleaning fee” on a deduction letter can swallow half your deposit. The Move-Out Deep Reset built to answer it runs $849 to $1,499 by home size, fixed in writing, photographed room by room, and backed for 48 hours after the walkthrough.

If you want the cheapest wipe-down in town, we're not your crew. If you want dated, room-by-room proof of how you left it, pick your date.
