Moving out of a rental in Henderson or Las Vegas? Your security deposit often comes down to one thing: how clean you leave the place. Here's the checklist landlords and property managers actually inspect — and how to hand over the keys spotless.

Kitchen

  • Inside and outside of all appliances — oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher
  • Inside cabinets and drawers, wiped free of crumbs and dust
  • Countertops, backsplash, and sink scrubbed and polished
  • Floors mopped, including under appliances where possible

Bathrooms

  • Toilet, tub, and shower fully sanitized and rinsed
  • Shower glass and mirrors polished streak-free
  • Inside cabinets and drawers wiped
  • Grout and fixtures detailed

Living areas & bedrooms

  • Baseboards, window sills, and door frames wiped
  • Closets emptied and dusted
  • Walls spot-cleaned of marks and scuffs
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout

Don't forget

Light fixtures and ceiling fans, vents and returns, blinds, and interior windows are the spots renters most often miss — and the ones inspectors look for first.

FAQ: Move-out cleaning

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Las Vegas?

Move-out cleaning usually costs more than a standard clean because it covers inside cabinets, appliances, baseboards, and detail work to inspection standard. Price depends on home size, condition, and whether the home is empty. For an exact number, request a quote with your bedroom and bathroom count.

Will a move-out cleaning help me get my deposit back?

It can make a big difference. Landlords and property managers inspect kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, floors, and the details renters often miss. A professional move-out clean covers those areas to inspection standard, which helps protect your deposit.

Do I need to be home during a move-out cleaning?

No. Most move-out cleanings happen after you have moved your belongings out, so the home is empty. You just need to arrange access for the cleaning team and the final walkthrough with your landlord.

How long does a move-out cleaning take?

It depends on home size and condition, but an empty home usually takes a few hours and may require a team for larger homes. Heavy buildup, inside appliances, and detail work add time, so it helps to book ahead of your move-out date.
