Why we exist
Stop Cleaning. Start Living in Merritt Island.
You work all week. You get home. The house needs attention again — counters, floors, bathrooms, dust that showed up two days after you cleaned. Saturday morning rolls around and instead of doing what you actually want, you're scrubbing toilets and mopping floors.
The house gets clean. But you're exhausted. And by Wednesday, it looks like you never touched it.
Meanwhile, the things that actually matter to you — time with your kids, your business, your health, a Saturday that feels like a Saturday — keep getting pushed to "next week."
You shouldn't have to choose between a clean home and a life you enjoy. That's a trade-off that doesn't need to exist.

Moving is exhausting. Landlords expect perfection, buyers and tenants notice everything, and most cleaners cut corners when it matters most.
What this looks like in Merritt Island
Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning in Merritt Island, FL — a full move-out / move-in clean from an empty space. Backed by the Captain's Guarantee: if an area we cleaned isn't right, request a re-clean within 24 hours. Captain Duster runs background-checked W-2 employees — never 1099 contractors — and is fully insured. Part of our Treasure Coast & Space Coast service area.
Move-out cleaning in Merritt Island addresses a market split between the canal-front waterfront homes on South Tropical Trail and the newer builds along Courtenay Parkway. Canal-front homes often have screened pool lanais and exterior-facing surfaces that have accumulated organic residue from the river — that's part of the empty-home scope only if the lanai is inside the screen enclosure (true interior surface). Newer Courtenay Parkway builds clean efficiently with a move-out scope; the emphasis there is thoroughness inside cabinets and appliances rather than surface-chemistry challenges. Every Merritt Island move-out clean includes the written photo documentation that helps both landlords and tenants with deposit records.
Merritt Island sits between the Indian and Banana rivers, so every clean here factors in humidity and the pollen drifts that come off the marshes. The waterfront properties along the canals south of SR-520 and out toward South Tropical Trail are typically open-floor-plan homes with lots of glass, big lanais and screen rooms. North Merritt Island toward Courtenay Parkway leans newer-build with stamped-concrete drives and tile pool decks. When you go recurring you get the same crew every visit, and you get a written guaranteed quote with no in-person estimate.
We work Merritt Island, Brevard County neighborhoods including North Merritt Island, South Tropical Trail, Sykes Creek, Newfound Harbor, across 32952, 32953. Booking move-in / move-out cleaning here does not mean waiting for a crew to drive in from another county — this is a road we already run.
Merritt Island sits inside Brevard County, and the same Brevard County crews hold this route. That is what makes the schedule stick: no subcontracting, no rotating strangers, no ZIP-code surcharge inside 32952, 32953.
There is no separate "Merritt Island rate": what you are quoted for move-in / move-out cleaning is what the space needs, and the crew that shows up is the crew already assigned to Merritt Island, Brevard County. If an area we cleaned is not right, tell us within 24 hours and we come back at no charge.
Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning by Merritt Island area
- North Merritt Island (32952) — same background-checked crew each visit, no minimum-distance charge.
- South Tropical Trail (32953) — move-in / move-out cleaning on the same Merritt Island route, by the crew that already knows these streets.
- Sykes Creek, 32952: book move-in / move-out cleaning here and the written price comes back before anyone drives out.
- Newfound Harbor (32953) — same background-checked crew each visit, no minimum-distance charge.

Captain Duster left my home sparkling!! I had never paid for someone to clean my home but it was so worth it for the mental health. My oven looks amazing, the bathrooms are shiny, and you could eat off the floors. They even vacuumed my dog’s bed which is so sweet! I will absolutely be booking them for a more regular clean.

They did a fantastic job deep cleaning my house. They cleaned every crack and crevice! I've hired deep cleaners before, but they didn't really deep clean. This was a true deep cleaning. Inside cabinets and drawers, under the refrigerator, the baseboards, light fixtures, no area was missed! Like a detailing for my house!! I will definitely use this service again! Thank you!

She did not disappoint The house was sparkling clean and smelled so good (in spite of our scruffy dog, George) we have a tiny space for a table and she positioned it a bit differently than I had it. I am AMAZED! it looks so nice. Thanks Rebecca and Captain Duster!

I found Captain Duster through Thumbtack. We hired them to clean my brothers house when he sold it. They worked with the time frame we needed and sent 5 people to complete the job. They did an excellent job and were professional and friendly. I strongly recommend them!

Captain Duster is amazing! Marcos was great at communicating with me the whole time. Not only did he answer all my questions, but he also ensured I was happy throughout the entire process.

Excellent service! I was very impressed with how responsive Marcos was for my initial inquiry as well as any time I have had a question. The quality of staff is very impressive - very friendly and professional. Isbella, Michelle, and Cecilia have done a great job cleaning. They pay attention to details and are respectful of my pets and the fact I work from home.
