Move-out and end-of-tenancy cleaning in Tokyo
A fixed-price clean for leaving your rental, so the handover goes smoothly.
What landlords and agents look at
At the final inspection, an agent will usually check the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, floors, windows and any visible marks, odours or damage. A clean home creates goodwill and reduces disputes. We concentrate on these areas, because that is where cleaning has the largest effect on how the handover goes.
A fixed price by room size
Move-out cleaning is ¥26,000 for a 1R/1K, ¥28,600 for a 1DK, ¥32,500 for a 1LDK, ¥52,000 for a 2LDK, ¥59,800 for a 3LDK and ¥65,000 for a 4LDK. One cleaner and a supervisor attend up to a 1LDK; from a 2LDK two cleaners and a supervisor work in parallel, one on the kitchen and floors and the other on the bathroom and toilet. If your home is in poor condition, we quote it from photos and send a written quote before the visit, and the price stays fixed once you agree.
Cleaning is not the same as restoration
In Japan, end-of-tenancy obligations (原状回復) cover restoring a property after tenant use, and rules on who pays for what are set by your lease and general guidance. Cleaning removes dirt but does not repair damage such as scratches, holes or worn flooring. We are a cleaning company and cannot advise on what your landlord may charge, so check your lease and speak to your agent.
Timing the clean
Book the clean after your belongings are out and before the inspection or key return. Many tenants schedule it the day before or the morning of the handover. Visits run between 9:00 and 17:00. Tell us the inspection time so that we plan to finish with a margin, and send the layout and a few photos of the kitchen and bathroom.
Common trouble spots
The areas that most often need attention are grease around the stove and range hood, limescale on taps and bath fittings, mould on silicone, dirt in sliding window tracks and marks on skirting boards. If you know of a stubborn stain, mention it. We say honestly if a mark cannot be removed, so that you are prepared.
If you are leaving Japan
If you are leaving the country, you may have little time and a long list of tasks. We communicate in English and can confirm everything by message for you and for your agent. Message us with your dates and we will see what can be arranged around your flight, your movers and the handover.
What to do before the cleaners arrive
Remove all belongings, including items in cupboards, the fridge and the balcony. Switch off and empty the fridge a day ahead if you can, and leave utilities on so that the cleaners have water and power. Dispose of rubbish through the proper channels, because cleaners cannot take bulky waste. Having the unit empty and accessible is the single biggest factor in finishing the job smoothly.

They all describe the same thing: cleaning a flat before you hand back the keys, so that it is ready for inspection. If you search or ask in one of these ways, you are in the right place, and the booking form below will confirm the scope and the price by message before we start.
