A PCS move compresses everything. The movers pack out on one day, the house is empty the next, and a walkthrough or clearing inspection follows soon after. The cleaning is the one task that is easy to leave for last and hard to do well when you are exhausted, which is exactly why so many families hire it out.

What does a PCS move out clean actually include?

It is a full clean of an empty home, not a standard tidy. With no furniture in the way, we can reach everything an inspector or the next tenant will open and check.

  • Kitchen. Inside and out on the oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, plus the inside of every cabinet and drawer, the sink, and the backsplash.
  • Bathrooms. Tubs, showers, tile, grout lines, toilets, vanities, mirrors, and fixtures, scrubbed and not just wiped.
  • Floors. Vacuumed and mopped, including the spots that were under furniture for the whole assignment.
  • Closets and storage. Shelves and floors, wiped out, with nothing left behind.
  • Baseboards, doors, and switch plates. The fingerprints and scuffs that show up in an empty room under bright light.
  • Windows and tracks. Available as an add on. Tell us if the windows matter to your checklist.

This is the work described on our move out and move in cleaning page. If the home has not had a deep clean in years, we may also recommend a deep clean level of effort, and we will tell you that in the estimate, not after the fact.

When should you book the clean during a PCS?

The best moment is after the movers have finished loading and before the walkthrough. The house is empty, nothing will be put back, and the clean will stay clean until the inspection.

Work backward from your out date. Confirm your pack out and load dates, then ask for a cleaning date for the same day or the day after the truck leaves. Request the estimate as early as your orders allow, two to three weeks is ideal, because the busiest weeks for military moves also fill our schedule. If your window is tighter than that, still ask. We will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Why do military families lose deposits on cleaning?

Almost never because the home was filthy. It is usually the small things. A refrigerator that was emptied but not wiped. An oven nobody cleaned in three years. Grease on the range hood. Soap scum in the tub. Floors that look fine under furniture and bad in an empty room. Baseboards with dust along the top edge.

Those are the same details a landlord or housing inspector checks first, because they are quick to see and quick to charge for. A professional move out clean goes after them on purpose, with a checklist, not by eye.

On post housing, off post rentals, and homes you own

The standard that matters depends on where you live, and it is set by someone other than us.

  • On post housing. The housing office or its property manager publishes the cleaning expectations for clearing. Get that checklist, send it to us, and we will work from it.
  • Off post rentals. Your lease and your landlord’s own move out checklist decide what counts as clean. Same approach: send it over before you book.
  • A home you own. If you are selling or renting it out after the move, a move out clean helps it show well and photograph well for the next buyer or tenant.

We cannot promise how any inspector will score a home, because that is their call. What we can promise is that the cleaning is done to the standard of an empty home, from the checklist you give us, by people who are background checked and who show up when they said they would.

How much does PCS move out cleaning cost?

It is priced per visit, not by the hour. Four things set the number: the home’s square footage, the number of bathrooms, its condition right now, and any extras such as inside windows or a heavily soiled oven. An empty home costs more than a standard clean, because every cabinet, drawer, and appliance is done inside and out. There is no flat rate, and a company that quotes one without asking about the home is guessing.

Easy Living Cleaners writes up every job before any work starts. The fastest route to a real number is to request a free estimate with your address, square footage, bathroom count, your out date, and a short note on the condition. You get the estimate by email, and nothing is scheduled until you approve it.

A simple PCS cleaning timeline

  • Three weeks out. Request the estimate and send your inspection checklist.
  • Two weeks out. Approve the estimate and lock in a cleaning date tied to your pack out.
  • Pack out and load days. Do the usual: take photos, keep valuables with you, and let the movers work.
  • Day the house empties. We clean top to bottom while you handle everything else on your list.
  • Walkthrough day. Do a final look, photograph the clean rooms, and hand over the keys.

What about moving in?

The other side of a PCS is arriving in a home that someone else left. A move in clean before your household goods show up is far easier than cleaning around boxes, and it means the first night is spent unpacking, not scrubbing. Many families around Richmond Hill, Pooler, and Savannah book both, a move out clean before they leave and a move in clean when they arrive. See the local guides for Richmond Hill, Pooler, and Savannah.

Why a family run cleaning company for a PCS

Because you do not have time to supervise. Easy Living Cleaners is family run, every cleaner is background checked and trained, and teams are small and local. You get a written estimate, a clear checklist, and a team that arrives on the date you picked. That is most of what a stressful move needs from a cleaning company.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer PCS move out cleaning near Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield?

Yes. A move out clean of the empty home is one of the most common requests we get from military families in Richmond Hill, Pooler, Rincon, and Savannah. Tell us your hard deadline when you request the estimate and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Will a professional move out clean help me pass my clearing inspection?

It helps you meet the cleaning part of the inspection, which is where most families lose time and deposit money. We clean to the standard of an empty home, inside every cabinet and appliance. We cannot promise how an inspector will score your home, because your landlord or housing office sets the checklist, so send it to us and we will work from it.

How soon before my out date should I book?

As early as your orders allow. Once the movers have cleared the house, you want the clean done the same day or the next, so the home is ready for the walkthrough. Booking two to three weeks ahead gives us the best chance of matching your exact date.

Can you clean after the movers have finished loading?

Yes, and that is the best time. An empty home is the only way to reach the inside of every cabinet, closet, and appliance, and the floors under where the furniture stood. We schedule around your pack out and load dates.
