Move-in cleaning for newly handed-over and newly rented apartments

Move-in cleaning is a thorough clean of an apartment you have just taken over from the developer, bought or rented, carried out while it is still empty: finishing dust, the insides of kitchen and built-in cupboards, appliances, bathrooms, glass and floors, with first-time aircon cleaning and mattress or sofa cleaning for furniture left by the previous occupant where needed.

Fixed price

New handover from 1,350,000 VND; previously occupied from 900,000 VND

Indicative prices. Your Up specialist confirms a fixed price before any work begins.

Move-in, post-construction or deep cleaning?

If the survey shows widespread cement, paint or sealant residue, or building work still in progress, we recommend the post-construction scope and explain why.

Move-in cleaning (this page)
A finished, empty apartment about to be occupied: light fine dust, labels, cupboard interiors, or traces of a previous occupant.
Post-construction cleaning
A newly built or renovated home with heavy cement dust, paint, mortar, sealant and site waste. See our post-construction page.
Deep cleaning
A furnished home in use; furniture is moved and returned to place.

The right order before moving day

  • Finish everything that makes dust: curtain rails, shelves, lights, aircon installation, defect repairs.
  • Clean the air conditioners first or in the same visit.
  • Clean the whole apartment while it is empty.
  • Clean any existing mattress and sofa and let them dry.
  • Bring in furniture and boxes and unpack into clean cupboards.

Access, keys and service areas

Power and water should be connected before the visit. Keys or access cards can be left with reception, building management or someone you authorise; each handover and return is confirmed by message. Overseas owners can sign off by video and receive the Up Report in English.

We serve regularly in An Khanh (Sala, Thu Thiem, Thao Dien), Binh Trung, Cat Lai, Phu My Hung, Thanh My Tay (Binh Thanh), former Districts 1, 3 and 4, Phu Nhuan and Nha Be, and accept bookings in Districts 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, Go Vap, Tan Binh, Tan Phu and former District 9, with time slots confirmed on booking.

Why UpClean

What makes our move-in apartment cleaning different?

The right rate for the job

A lived-in apartment with no building work is charged at the standard deep-clean rate, not the new-handover rate.

Cupboards clean before you unpack

Kitchen units, drawers and wardrobes are wiped inside, where your plates and clothes go on day one.

One appointment

Cleaning, aircon, fridge, mattress and sofa can be combined so moving day is not held up.

A photo record

Visible scratches, stains and leaks are photographed for your discussions with the developer or landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Move-in apartment cleaning: your questions

How much is move-in cleaning?+

Newly handed-over apartments are 22,500 VND per m² (minimum 1,350,000 VND); previously occupied apartments with no building work are 15,000 VND per m² (minimum 900,000 VND). A 70 m² apartment is 1,575,000 VND or 1,050,000 VND.

The developer handed it over clean. Is another clean needed?+

Usually yes. Developers tend to clean visible surfaces only; cupboard interiors, drawers, door tracks, vents and floor joints still hold fine dust that ends up on your plates, clothes and bedding.

Should cleaning come before or after furniture is installed?+

After all drilling and fitting is finished, and before mattresses, sofas, textiles and boxes arrive.

Can you clean the landlord's mattress and sofa?+

Yes, on site by spray extraction. Old stains may fade rather than disappear; we tell you before starting.

Does a newly installed air conditioner need cleaning?+

If it was fitted before the joiners finished or ran during the works, yes. A sealed, unused unit may not; we check the filters and advise honestly.

I am abroad. Can you clean without me there?+

Yes. Leave keys with building management or an authorised person; we confirm key handovers by message, sign off by video and send before-and-after photos.

Will you inspect the apartment for defects?+

No. We do not carry out technical inspections. We photograph scratches, damp marks or peeling we notice while cleaning for your reference.
