What customers said about moving-related cleaning
Cleaning ProsI booked a move-out cleaning for the day I moved out of my apartment, and when I returned, the place looked and smelled amazing! They did a fantastic job, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this cleaning service and will definitely be using them again in the future!
Top Mops Cleaning ServiceThis is the team you need for your cleaning needs! The owner worked with us on a time to get in our home for a move in clean even when we had a short hiccup with our closing/getting keys. The house was spectacular after Neli, Annie, and Lisa did their magic! We definitely will be using them again!
Cleaning ProsCleaners were fantastic! Extremely detailed in their work. Used them for move in and move out cleans and both were immaculate.
Cleaning ProsCleaning Pros did an excellent job cleaning my apartment. The person did complete and thorough work. They were also nice and friendly. I highly recommend their services!
Cleaning ProsVery thorough and excellent work! Easy to set up and cleaners were polite and punctual.
Cleaning ProsI was in desperate need of a service to come in and clean my apartment after we completed the move out. Cleaning Pros was not only easy to communicate with but they were flexible too! So thankful they found a spot for me, the price well worth the service...and I will say the young lady who came in to clean my home…

How we grade

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
