How clean does this house need to be?

13 years ago

We are set to close tomorrow, therefore there is a walk through. Once we close, on the 3rd, we have until the 6th to move everything out. We can't move anything into the new apartment until the 4th.

Needless to say, I am soooooo tired physically and emotionally right now. Have to work around work schedules to.

We have moved all the long term storage furniture into a storage unit. We have emptied every carpeted room so they can be steam cleaned today. Carpets are worn, but the buyer just mandated they be steam cleaned professionally. Once that is done, I have to keep the dogs off it - totally, so I have to drop them off an hour away. Need to feed and water them each evening, so a two hour roundtrip daily (have doggie door for the other stuff).

How clean does the rest of the house have to be?

Just clean kitchen appliances and bathrooms?
Sweep, and mop floors?
Wash windows? Scrub walls? Remove nails in walls?
Scrub out inside window sills/tracts?

I have been quoted $300.00 and up to have a cleaning crew in, but just can't swing that due to other costs in moving.

I feel like a zombie, up until 1:00 am moving things off all floors last night, edge cleaning and vacuuming at 6:00 this morning,

Please tell me how clean it needs to be! (I will have to clean the apartment before I get into that also.....tenants left late and the landlord will only be getting the carpets shampooed.)
