Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Georgia Renters and Landlords

By ScrubMAX Team · August 26, 2026 · 5 min read

The room-by-room move-out cleaning checklist we use to help Georgia renters recover deposits and help landlords turn units faster.

Why move-out cleaning decides your deposit

Georgia landlords and property managers inspect for normal wear versus dirt. Dust on blinds, greasy range hoods, and soap-stained showers are the line items that most often cost renters part of a deposit — and all three are fixable in one visit.

Kitchen

  • Inside and outside of all cabinets and drawers
  • Inside oven, stovetop, range hood, and drip pans
  • Inside and behind the refrigerator
  • Sink, faucet, and disposal flange
  • Countertops, backsplash, and light switch plates

Bathrooms

  • Tub, shower walls, and glass — including hard-water and soap scum
  • Toilet base, hinges, and behind the tank
  • Vanity, mirror, and drawer interiors
  • Exhaust fan cover and vent

Bedrooms and living areas

  • Closet shelving and tracks
  • Baseboards, door frames, and switch plates
  • Ceiling fans and light fixtures
  • Window sills, tracks, and interior glass
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped edge to edge

Landlord and Realtor turns

For rentals and listings, we photograph completed units on request so you have proof of condition for the next tenant or a showing. Repeat turn schedules get priority booking.

Book a move-out clean

Send your address, unit size, and walkthrough date and we will schedule a move-out clean that hits every item above.
