A fresh start before the keys change hands
Larnaca is the airport city. People land at LCA, grab a taxi, and they’re at the front door inside the hour — so the flat needs to be ready for that first evening, not still carrying the last occupant’s dust or the builder’s mess. We do the clean that makes an empty place ready to live in.
This isn’t a quick tidy on a furnished rental. It’s the reset you book when a flat has been void, when the painters have just left, or when a long-let tenant handed back and the next person moves in fresh. Dust off the skirting. Grout lines that haven’t been touched in months. Cupboard interiors you’d rather not think about. We go at all of it before the first box comes through the door.
Where move-in cleans come up most in Larnaca
Most of these jobs cluster in three situations. The post-renovation reset — new kitchens and bathrooms in older Finikoudes and Mackenzie blocks where plaster dust has settled into every surface, light fitting, and window track. The long-void flat in Oroklini, Pyla, or Aradippou that sat empty for months and needs a real deep clean before anyone sleeps there. And the airport-side turnover in Kiti, Pervolia, and Dromolaxia where a new tenant or owner is landing on a specific flight and the clean has to be done, aired, and dry before they arrive.
What a fresh-start clean actually goes at
There’s no furniture in the way, so we go further than a turnover ever does. Inside the oven and the fridge. Inside every cupboard and wardrobe, shelves wiped down. Skirting boards, door frames, light switches, and sockets — the spots that collect dust when a place sits empty. Bathroom tiles descaled and grout scrubbed. Windows cleaned where we can reach, frames wiped. Floors vacuumed then mopped, edges included. When we’re done we walk it with you in photos, room by room, on WhatsApp — so you see the empty place clean before anyone moves in.
Renovation dust is its own job
If builders have just finished, say so when you message. Post-work dust is finer than normal household dust — it gets into extractor fans, behind radiators, inside light fittings, and it resettles after a standard clean. We treat those jobs differently: a first pass to lift the bulk, then a second once the airborne dust has settled again. It takes longer and we’ll price it for what it actually is, not as a generic clean. Send photos of the current state and we’ll be straight with you on what’s involved.
Linen, towels, and what we don’t supply
Bedsheets and towels: we change them when clean replacements are already at the property - we don’t supply the items ourselves. On a move-in clean there’s usually no linen change at all — the place is empty. If the bed is made up and you want fresh linen placed before move-in, have clean replacements on site and tell us in the booking.
Timing the clean to a flight, not a clock
Because LCA is ten minutes from the city, your new occupant can land and be at the flat before a normal working day even starts. That cuts both ways — it’s convenient, and it leaves no buffer. Book the clean for the day before whenever you can, especially for airport-side areas. If it has to be the same morning, message us on WhatsApp with the area and the time. Same-day cover is on request when the diary allows — we’ll tell you in minutes whether we can fit it.
What it costs
Move-in and empty-property deep cleans are quoted from photos, because condition swings wildly — a lightly-used flat is a different job from one that’s been gutted and rebuilt. Small flats usually start from about €45 for a standard clean; a full post-renovation or void deep clean is priced separately. Send the area, the size, and a few photos showing the current state, and we’ll quote a clear number back.
