    Move-Out Cleaning Cost in Hollywood, FL (2026 Pricing Guide)

    If you're moving out of a rental in Hollywood, FL — whether it's a beachside condo on Hollywood Beach, a townhouse in Emerald Hills, or a single-family home in Hollywood Lakes — the first question is simple: how much does move-out cleaning cost in Hollywood? Below is a straight-talk local pricing guide plus tips to protect your full security deposit.

    What affects your price

    FactorWhy it matters
    Home size (bedrooms/sq ft)More rooms take more time
    BathroomsThe most detail-heavy rooms
    Condition / time since last cleanMore buildup means a longer clean
    Service typeStandard < deep < move-out in scope
    Add-ons (inside oven, fridge, windows)Optional extras

    Smaller standard cleans typically start around $120, and large deep cleans or move-outs can run $400+; every quote is flat-rate with no hidden fees.

    Homes east of Federal Highway — Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Lakes, Harbor Islands — often take longer due to larger square footage and salt-air buildup on fixtures. Real Cozy Maid quotes every Hollywood move-out by phone or text after a quick property description — no misleading online flat rates.

    What Affects the Price in Hollywood

    • Square footage & bathrooms — bathrooms take the most time per square foot.
    • Condition at move-out — grease, soap scum, salt residue, pet hair all add time.
    • Inside appliances — oven, fridge, and dishwasher interiors are usually add-ons.
    • Interior windows & sliders — beach-adjacent units get filmy fast.
    • Cabinet interiors — required if you want the deposit released.
    • High-rise access — freight elevator scheduling can affect scheduling but not price.

    What's Included in a Hollywood Move-Out Clean

    Our Hollywood move-out service is deeper than a standard clean because the unit has to pass a landlord walkthrough:

    • All floors vacuumed and mopped, including closets
    • Baseboards, door frames, and switches wiped
    • Kitchen: cabinets inside and out, counters, sink, backsplash, appliance exteriors
    • Inside oven, inside fridge, inside microwave
    • Bathrooms: tubs, showers, tile, toilets, vanities, mirrors, fixtures descaled
    • Interior windows, sills, and sliding-door tracks
    • Ceiling fans, vents, and reachable light fixtures dusted
    • Balcony sweep and trash removed

    See the full breakdown and book on our Hollywood move-out cleaning page or the general move-out cleaning service page.

    How to Get Your Full Deposit Back in Hollywood

    1. Schedule the clean AFTER movers leave — cleaning around boxes always leaves misses.
    2. Request a written checklist so nothing on the walkthrough is skipped.
    3. Photograph every room with timestamps after the clean.
    4. Handle carpets separately — most Hollywood leases require a carpet-cleaning receipt.
    5. Don't skip the balcony or lanai — a common deduction on Hollywood Beach condos.

    Move-Out vs. Standard Cleaning — Why It Costs More

    A standard clean maintains an already-clean home. A move-out clean assumes 12+ months of lived-in condition and must pass inspection. Expect roughly 1.5×–2× the price of a standard clean at the same square footage — still far cheaper than losing part of a $2,000+ deposit.

    Hollywood Neighborhoods We Serve

    We regularly handle move-outs in Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, Harbor Islands, Oakwood Hills, Beverly Park, and Driftwood — plus nearby Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, and Aventura.
