Empty means different things to different people
A cupboard still full of belongings or furniture left in a bedroom changes what your crew can reach. Agree the property's expected condition before estimating the cleaning work.
Software for move-out cleaners
Make the empty-property handoff less of a scramble.
The final box leaving does not always mean a property is ready for your crew. Settle access, room condition and the approved cleaning scope, then keep the work and invoice connected through the handoff to the customer or property contact.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Appliance interiors can become an argument
An oven, refrigerator or inside cabinets may be expected even when the quote covers a different service. Specific inclusions protect the handoff from a vague promise of a complete clean.
Keys and deadlines involve several people
A departing resident, landlord and agent may each have part of the plan. Keep the authorized contact and access arrangement clear so a crew is not waiting outside with supplies.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Keep the property and customer connected
Use linked property records with customer contacts, billing preferences and business notes. Record who handles access and who approves changes, keeping their administrative roles clear before the scheduled visit.
Explore this featureQuote rooms and extras transparently
Describe the room scope, expected condition and agreed extras in the estimate. Separate appliance interiors, cabinet interiors or other additions when appropriate, using quantities and prices you have checked for the actual property.
Explore this featureGive the crew a common work list
Add job tasks and notes for agreed rooms and handoff details. Link appointments and assigned staff, and review the schedule when key collection, removal work or another contractor affects entry.
Explore this featureBring the real effort back to billing
Record staff time against the cleaning job and save expense receipts for supplies or disposal agreed within scope. Review the completed work before sharing the invoice PDF and recording payments taken elsewhere.
Explore this featureA day in the life
From the first quote to paid.
Check readiness before quoting
Ask about belongings, utilities, access and property condition. Walk through the intended scope with the customer and identify extras that need a separate agreement.
Put the handoff in writing
Save the property and access contact, issue the estimate and set the crew's appointment. Confirm the start and handoff directly so the work is not based on an assumed vacancy time.
Work from the approved room list
Use tasks for the agreed areas and note any condition that changes the scope. Discuss extra work before adding it, and keep staff time associated with this property.
Review the clean and the bill
Check the agreed handoff, update completed tasks and share the invoice PDF from your device. Record payment received elsewhere; the customer's deposit dispute is separate from your cleaning invoice.

Questions from move-out cleaners.
Does this guarantee a tenant gets a deposit back?
Microtra does not determine a tenancy outcome or guarantee a deposit return. Your estimate should explain the cleaning service you provide, while tenancy decisions stay with the relevant parties and their agreement.
Can I distinguish this job from routine house cleaning?
Use a specific work description and task list for the vacant property's agreed scope. Keep cabinet and appliance interiors explicit instead of assuming an ordinary recurring-clean description covers them.
What terminology starts with the cleaning setup?
Cleaning uses Job, Customer and Properties, with linked records enabled. Stock begins off; switch it on in Modules & terms before promising supply counts or purchasing as part of your app workflow.
Where can I find a room-by-room preparation aid?
The move-out cleaning checklist template offers a downloadable starting point. Adapt it to the estimate and property rather than treating every checklist item as automatically included in your service.
