At Nimbus Homes, we understand the importance of timing and coordination when it comes to move-out cleaning services, and we are committed to providing flexible scheduling options to accommodate our clients' needs during their moving process.

Regular house cleaning services typically cater to ongoing maintenance of a residence and are often scheduled on a recurring basis. These services focus on maintaining cleanliness and tidiness throughout the home, including routine tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and surface cleaning.

While move-in and move-out cleaning services are geared towards specific transitional periods, regular house cleaning aims to upkeep the overall cleanliness of the home on a consistent basis.

The cost of house cleaning services can vary based on a multitude of factors, including the size of the house, the type of cleaning required, and the location. Custom jobs and other services, such as laundry or focused cleaning on specific areas, may also lead to variations in price.
