Pre and post-move cleaning in São Paulo

A clean move is not the one that simply takes the furniture away. It is the one that hands the old place back spotless for the inspection and delivers the new one ready for you to live in. MC²X coordinates the cleaning together with the move, in the right order and without you having to get a quote somewhere else.

Four moments when cleaning comes in

Each stage of a move calls for a different kind of cleaning. You pick the ones that make sense, and we fit them into the schedule:

Before you leave

Post-move cleaning of the old home

The most requested one. With the property empty, cleaning goes much further and costs less. It is the one the letting agent will check at the end-of-tenancy inspection.

Before you move in

Pre-move cleaning of the new home

Cleaning before the furniture arrives is the only chance to reach the floor, the cabinets and the corners with nothing on top. Afterwards it is no longer possible.

After unpacking

Post-unpacking cleaning

Unpacking produces dust, cardboard, bubble wrap and debris all over the house. This clean closes the move and leaves the home ready for day one.

After renovation

Post-renovation cleaning

Heavy work: paint splashes, cement residue and fine dust that gets into cabinets and air conditioning units. It needs different products and technique.

How it works

1

You add it at the survey

During the same free survey for the move, we assess the properties and which cleans make sense for your case.

2

It goes into the same proposal

The cleaning amount appears alongside the move, itemised. One quote, one company.

3

We fit it into the schedule

The cleaning happens in the right order: in the empty property once the truck leaves, or at destination before the move arrives.

4

We check before signing off

We verify the result before closing. If something was missed, we sort it out with you, rather than passing it to the partner.

What the cleaning covers

The scope is defined at the survey according to the type of clean and the state of the property. Broadly speaking:

Floors, skirting boards and corners
Bathrooms and shower screens, with residue removal
Kitchen, cabinets inside and out
Glass, windows and reachable frames
Furniture marks on walls, where possible
Removal of packing material after unpacking

Who carries out the cleaning

The cleaning is done by partner professionals selected and coordinated by MC²X. You hire, speak to and hold one company accountable, and we answer for the result. The move itself is still carried out by our own crew.

Why book it together with the move

Booking the cleaning separately looks the same but usually turns out worse. When both services talk to each other, the order works in your favour: the team goes into the empty property, which is when cleaning costs less and comes out better. You do not have to arrange times with two suppliers, there is no risk of the cleaners arriving before the truck leaves, and there is a single point of contact if anything goes wrong. And the packing material leaves with us on the same day, instead of piling up in the living room.

Frequently asked questions

How much does post-move cleaning cost in São Paulo?
It depends on the size of the property, the state it is in and the type of cleaning. An empty two-bedroom flat is very different from a house after renovation, which needs heavy cleaning. Because the cleaning goes in together with your move, the amount appears in the same proposal, without you having to get a separate quote.
Is the cleaning done by the MC²X crew?
The cleaning is carried out by partner professionals selected and coordinated by MC²X. You hire, speak to and hold one company accountable, and we answer for the result. The move itself is still done by our own crew.
Can the cleaning happen on the same day as the move?
Yes, and it is the most common scenario. As soon as the truck leaves, the cleaning team goes into the empty property, which is when cleaning goes furthest and costs least. At destination, we can clean before the furniture arrives or after unpacking. We agree the order at the survey.
Is the cleaning enough for the end-of-tenancy inspection?
That is exactly why most people book it. Letting agents usually require the property in the same condition as at move-in, and a poor clean turns into a deduction from your deposit. We adjust the service to what the inspection report will look for.
Do you do post-renovation cleaning?
Yes. Post-renovation cleaning is heavier and requires removing paint splashes, cement residue and fine dust from cabinets and air conditioning units. It is a different service from ordinary cleaning, and needs to be sized separately at the survey.
