WHAT IT IS
What Is Fluff Cleaning?
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Is Fluff Cleaning Done Right Before Move-In?
01
Post-Move-In Polish
Clears dust, scuffs, and packaging residue left behind after furniture setup, IT cabling, and fixture staging.
02
Flawless First Impressions
Removes all visible smudges, fingerprints, and door kick marks right before the owner, tenants, or VIPs walk in.
03
Zero Ribbon-Cutting Dust
High-filtration vacuuming and microfiber dusting ensure settled air dust doesn’t dull shiny floors or glass surfaces on opening day.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
What Rough Cleaning Is Not
Rough cleaning is the first step in the process, but it’s not the final step. Here are a few things it does not include.
Not Final Cleaning
Rough cleaning does not include white-glove polish or a move-in-ready standard.
Not Exterior Final Cleaning
Exterior final pressure washing or landscape detail is not included unless specifically scoped.
