The Ultimate Portland Move-Out Cleaning Checklist [Printable, 2025]"

Portland move-out checklist, short and sweet: start 48–72 hours early—defrost fridge, self-clean oven, soak filters, patch nail holes, gather supplies—then go room by room: degrease appliances, wipe cabinet interiors/fronts, detail baths (soap scum + hard water; use a mineral remover), dust high-to-low, clean windows/tracks, edge-vac and mop, empty closets, and sweep entry/patio/garage. Finish with a lights-on “landlord lens” pass—or book a pro clean if time is tight.

Post-Construction Cleaning in Portland: Safe Ways to Eliminate Fine Dust (Pro Guide)

Post-construction dust needs a smart, gentle cleanup: close/cover HVAC registers, run a HEPA purifier, then use a true HEPA vacuum top-to-bottom before any wet work. Follow a 3-Pass Method—(1) dry HEPA capture on ceilings, fixtures, trim, cabinets, floors; (2) damp detail with nearly dry microfiber (glass with squeegee, window tracks, register covers); (3) floor finishing matched to surface. Skip dry sweeping and non-HEPA vacs; replace the HVAC filter at the end and use mineral removers sparingly on hard-water spots.

Deep Clean vs. Standard Clean: What Portland Homeowners Should Book—and When

A quick TL;DR: Standard cleaning is routine upkeep (kitchens, baths, dusting, floors, high-touch points) meant for weekly/bi-weekly/monthly cadence; Deep cleaning is a top-to-bottom reset (baseboards, trim, vents, blinds, edge work, extra degreasing/mineral-spot treatment) that takes ~2–3× longer. In Portland, book a Deep Clean for your first visit, after 6–12+ weeks without service, for seasonal resets, or before/after hosting or mini-renos; then maintain with Standard visits and schedule a Deep every 3–4 months (2–3 months with pets/heavy cooking). Rotate add-ons (inside oven/fridge, cabinet interiors, blinds, window tracks), declutter to save time, and lean on surface-safe, eco-forward products that handle PNW entry soils and hard-water spots.
