How much does refrigerator cleaning cost?
A refrigerator deep cleaning is $50 or $75, depending on size and condition. A standard refrigerator that is emptied and lightly used sits at the lower price. A large side-by-side with a freezer that has not been touched in years sits at the higher one. Kat confirms which applies when she sees it.
What does a refrigerator deep cleaning include?
The photo on this page shows a refrigerator after a move-out cleaning: shelves, drawers and door bins clean, the inside walls wiped down, nothing left behind for the next family. A typical refrigerator deep cleaning covers:
- Removable shelves and drawers, washed and dried
- Door bins
- Inside walls, floor and ceiling of the refrigerator compartment (ask about the freezer at your walkthrough)
- The outside of the doors and handles
When is it worth it?
At move-out, when the refrigerator is empty anyway and a landlord will open it. At move-in, so your food goes into a clean space. And once or twice a year at home, when the crisper drawer has become a science project.
How should you prepare?
Ask Kat at the walkthrough. She will tell you whether to empty the refrigerator before the visit, and how the team handles food that is staying. The less that is inside, the more thorough the cleaning can be.

Questions about refrigerator cleaning
Do I need to empty the refrigerator first?
Ask Kat at the walkthrough. Emptying it lets the team reach every surface, and she will tell you exactly what to do before the visit.
Is the freezer included?
Confirm it at the walkthrough. Kat sets the scope of every add-on in person, and a freezer that needs defrosting takes extra time.
Can I add refrigerator cleaning to a recurring visit?
Yes. Add it to any recurring, deep, move-in or move-out cleaning, and Kat will price it at $50 or $75 when she sees it.
