My last apartment I just hired the cleaning crew the complex uses upon move out - cost me $75 and it was up to their standards. (plus I didn't have to do it)

The place before I did nothing since the move was a complete disaster and I ran out of time. They charged for dusty blinds, top of the shower rail etc etc.

We were also told by former landlords that they have to clean the carpets anyway, even if you already do it, so you get charged no matter what.
