Step Into a Spotless Year:
San Diego Student & Dorm Move-In Cleaning
Deep detailing and 275°F thermal shock steam treatment for dorms, apartments, and off-campus housing near PLNU, SDSU, UCSD, and USD. Give your student a clean, healthy start to the academic year.
“My daughter goes to PLNU, which means my back hurts just thinking about August move-in.”
My daughter is entering her second year at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) this fall.
At the end of her freshman year, I lived the college move-out reality firsthand. There I was—a grown man and cleaning company founder—on my hands and knees for three hours scrubbing baseboards, battling mystery grime, and fighting for every last nickel of her security deposit. Fast forward to this August, and we're doing the sequel: walking into a new student rental that needs a serious deep detail before she even unpacks her first bin.
Parenting rule #1 for move-in weekend: your official job description should be hauling heavy furniture up three flights of stairs and making terrible dad jokes—not scraping someone else's leftover soap scum out of a shower drain.
We built our Student & Dorm Move-In Protocol so parents can skip the knees-on-the-linoleum phase of move-in weekend. Let our specialists handle the deep scrubbing and thermal steam detailing so you can focus on what parents are actually supposed to do: buy way too many organizers at Target, pretend you aren't getting emotional, and hit the road with total peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents and students need to know before booking.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
Not at all. Many parents book us from out of state. We coordinate key retrieval directly with your student, resident advisor, or lockbox. You will receive notification as soon as the service is complete.
Is your cleaning process safe for dorms with sensitive air quality rules?
Yes! Our core detailing relies on 275°F thermal shock steam and child- and pet-conscious cleaning solutions that leave zero harsh chemical fumes or sticky residues behind.
Can we book both a move-out clean and a move-in clean?
Absolutely. We offer streamlined scheduling for families needing to clean an outgoing apartment at the end of the term and a new incoming rental in August.
How do you document move-out cleanliness for landlords?
Under California Civil Code § 1950.5 and AB 12, landlords must provide itemized receipts for deductions over $125. We provide detailed photo documentation of our completed work for your records.
