A lot of the stress of moving out ends up being all the deep-cleaning that never occurs to you until you have to move. But really these aren’t exceptionally difficult cleaning tasks, they just get forgotten easily. Keep a copy of your move-out cleaning checklist (or use an online template) as a guide for monthly deep-cleaning; things like baseboards, wiping door handle faceplates and light switches, dusting hood vents, wiping down fridge shelves, and wiping out sliding glass door tracks.

These tasks are usually small if you stay on top of them and they can be easily rotated out on a weekly basis. Then when you move, you’re just doing a once-over, not cleaning totally from scratch.
