You're handing back the keys. Our move-out cleaning services get the apartment, condo or house you're leaving ready for what comes next — the landlord's walkthrough, the next tenant or the buyer.
Nidus Cleaning Company is a small, founder-led team based in Union City. Once the furniture is out, we clean the empty unit room by room, with extra time on the places an inspection looks at first. Tell us your move-out date and the size of the place, and you'll typically hear back with a price within an hour.

A move-out clean is for the person leaving a space, not the person arriving. These are the situations we hear about most.
You've moved your things out and the walkthrough is on the calendar. We clean the empty apartment so you're not scrubbing grout at midnight after a day of carrying boxes.
Before listing photos, showings or closing day, an empty home looks its best when floors, fixtures and bathrooms are clean edge to edge.
When a long-term tenant leaves, we reset the unit before the next lease starts. Short-term rental hosts between guests usually need turnover cleaning instead.
After years in the same place, dust settles in spots furniture used to cover. We clean the corners, closets and floor edges that only show up once the room is empty.
In Hudson County, the person doing the final walkthrough might be a landlord who owns the building, a super or a property manager. Whoever it is, they tend to look closest at the same places: bathroom grout, inside cabinets and drawers, window sills and frames, floor edges and baseboards, and the appliances in the kitchen.
Most of those spots are part of every move-out clean; kitchen cabinet and appliance interiors are confirmed when you book (see the add-ons below). We clean high before low, work through every room, and finish with a final pass before we consider the job done.
We can't promise what happens with your security deposit. That depends on your lease, your landlord and the condition of the unit, including any repairs. What a professional move-out clean does is take cleanliness off the list of things to argue about.

Move-out cleaning works best after the furniture is removed. Tell us how we'll get in, and we'll work out whatever's easiest for you.
The team cleans top to bottom and finishes with a final check. The remaining 70% is due when the job is done.
A few things on your side make the clean faster and more complete:
Cleaning isn't repairs. We don't patch walls, paint or fix fixtures, and we don't handle mold remediation or pest problems. If something like that comes up, we'll tell you upfront.

A move-out clean is its own job: it happens in an empty unit and goes into spaces furniture usually blocks.

Moves here come with their own logistics. In a pre-war walk-up near Bergenline Avenue there's often no elevator, so we bring equipment sized for stairs and tight spaces. Two-family houses and brownstones come with narrow stairs and halls of their own. We regularly clean high-rise buildings in Jersey City, Hoboken and Weehawken, where move days can come with elevator and loading rules, so check yours when you book.
Older buildings bring older surfaces: original hardwood, plaster walls, radiators and decades-old tile. Once a room is empty, the dust that collected behind a dresser or around a radiator is easy to see, and those spots get attention.
We cover Union City and all of Hudson County, plus parts of neighboring counties. Not sure about your address? Check our service area or ask when you request your quote.

A full clean of the empty unit: every room top to bottom, walls spot-cleaned, baseboards and floor edges wiped, interior windows and sills cleaned, closets cleaned, vents wiped, bathrooms deep-scrubbed including grout, and floors vacuumed and mopped. The inside of the oven and refrigerator, and stovetop and hood degreasing, are add-ons you can mention when you book.
A move-out clean covers more ground than a routine visit, so it's quoted on its own. The price depends on the size of the unit, its condition and any add-ons. For typical local rates, see our guide How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Hudson County.
A deep clean is for a furnished home that needs more than routine upkeep. A move-out clean happens after the furniture is gone, so it also covers emptied closets, wall spot-cleaning and the floor edges and corners furniture used to hide.
After your furniture is out and before the landlord's walkthrough or the handover date. Book a few days ahead where possible. If your timeline is tight, ask, because we can often accommodate shorter notice.
No. Many people have already moved by the time we clean. Talk to us about access when you book, and we'll work out whatever's easiest for you.
No cleaning company can promise that. Deposit decisions depend on your lease, your landlord and the unit's condition, including damage and repairs. A thorough move-out clean removes cleanliness as an issue. For the DIY side, see our Move-Out Cleaning Guide for Renters.
