You have the keys and the moving truck is booked. Our move-in cleaning services get your new apartment, condo or house clean while it's still empty, so the first box you open goes into a kitchen, bathroom and closet that are ready for you.
Nidus Cleaning Company is a small, founder-led team based in Union City. Tell us the day you get the keys and the day your movers arrive, and you'll typically hear back with a price within an hour.
A move-in clean is for the person arriving, in the window between getting the keys and carrying in the first box.
The last tenant is gone, but crumbs in the drawers and dust on the closet shelves often aren't. We clean before your things touch them.
The last owner's idea of clean may not be yours. Start from a fresh baseline before furniture covers the floors.
Fresh paint and new floors leave fine dust on sills, shelves and closet floors. We clean it before it reaches your clothes and dishes.
We clean a unit to a move-in standard before the key handover. If you're the one leaving a place, our move-out cleaning page covers that side of the move.
An empty home is the easiest home to clean. Every shelf, closet floor and corner is open. Once the movers arrive, those spots disappear behind boxes and furniture.
A super or the previous occupant may have done a quick pass. A move-in clean means the bathroom you use tonight and the counters you cook on this week start from clean, sanitized surfaces.
That's why this service works best before the furniture arrives: book it between the keys and the truck, and unpack once, into clean space.
A full clean of the empty home, room by room, with extra attention on the places you'll use first.

Send your ZIP code, bedrooms and bathrooms, the day you get the keys and the day your movers arrive. We'll do our best to work around your timeline.
We confirm your price, usually within the hour. A 30% deposit secures your appointment.
You may still be living across town. Talk to us about access when you book, and we'll work out whatever's easiest for you.
The team cleans high before low, room by room, and finishes with a final pass before we consider the job done. The remaining 70% is due when the job is finished.
The best slot is after you have the keys and before the movers carry anything in. If both happen on the same day, schedule the clean as early as possible.
A few checks worth doing before the unpacking takes over.
Open every cabinet, closet and drawer while they're empty. It's the easiest moment to line shelves and plan storage.
Cleaning isn't repairs. If you notice damage, a leak, or signs of pests or mold, photograph it and report it to your landlord. Our team doesn't handle mold remediation or pest problems.
Run the faucets and shower, and check that the stove and refrigerator work before your groceries arrive.
Once you're settled, recurring cleaning weekly, bi-weekly or monthly keeps the fresh start going.
They share many tasks. The difference is whether the home is empty or lived-in.
| Compare | Move-in clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|
| Home is | Empty, before you unpack | Furnished and lived-in |
| Best time | Between getting the keys and moving day | First visits, or homes not professionally cleaned in 30+ days |
| Main goal | A clean, sanitized start before your things arrive | Reset buildup in a home you already live in |
| Closets | Cleaned while empty | Inside closets cleaned |
| Walls | Spot-cleaned | Not included |
| Grout | Scrubbed | Scrubbed |
Already moved in and living with the boxes? Our deep cleaning services work around furniture, and our guide to standard cleaning vs. deep cleaning explains how a deep clean compares with a regular visit.
Many new arrivals here move into older buildings: pre-war walk-ups near Bergenline Avenue, two-family houses and brownstones with original hardwood, plaster walls and radiators. Dust collects behind radiators and along old floorboards, and it's easiest to reach before your furniture does. We bring equipment sized for walk-ups and tight spaces.
Others move into newer condos and high-rises in Jersey City, Hoboken and Weehawken, where glass, stainless steel and move-day building rules matter more.
We're based in Union City and clean throughout Hudson County, plus parts of neighboring counties. Union City (07087) is a different town from Union, NJ. Check our service area or ask when you request your quote.
A full clean of the empty home before you unpack: every room top to bottom, closets cleaned while empty, kitchen and bathroom surfaces sanitized, grout scrubbed, and floors vacuumed and mopped. Inside the oven and refrigerator, and stovetop and hood degreasing, are add-ons.
A deep clean is for a furnished home you already live in. A move-in clean happens while the home is empty, so it reaches closets and corners furniture would block, and gets kitchens and bathrooms ready for first use.
Every move-in clean is quoted on its own. The price depends on the size of the home, its condition and any add-ons. Send your ZIP code, bedrooms and bathrooms, and we'll typically reply with a price within an hour. For typical local rates, see our guide How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Hudson County.
Because it covers more. A regular visit maintains a home that's already reasonably clean. A move-in clean is a full clean of every room, including emptied closets, wall spot-cleaning and grout, often after a previous occupant has left buildup behind.
