Get a Fresh Start in Your New Home with These Cleaning Tips

Congratulations! You’ve got the keys to your new home. Before you move in, however, there’s one more important step—a thorough house cleaning. This is likely the only opportunity you’ll have to clean without having to work around furniture and other belongings, so get a fresh start in your new home with these cleaning tips:

Start at the Top

Before you clean the floors or countertops, thoroughly dust any ceiling fans, light fixtures or shelving close to the ceiling. Dust and grime tend to build up in these infrequently-cleaned spots, eventually falling down and soiling the space below.

Pick Your Priorities

Among the first things you should clean are the inside of the fridge, since you’ll need a place to store your perishable food right away, and the bathroom, which will be in regular use throughout the day.

Don’t Forget the Walls

Many people don’t think of washing the walls in their new home. If a clean cloth comes away from your walls dirty, however, you should give them a gentle scrubbing, too.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should I clean before or after the movers arrive? We highly recommend cleaning before the movers arrive. It is much easier to deep-clean carpets, baseboards, and corners when the rooms are completely empty.

Do movers clean the house after they finish unloading? While our team at All Awesome Movers will ensure we don’t leave any packing debris or mess behind, we do not provide deep-cleaning services. Hiring a dedicated cleaning crew for a “move-in clean” is often a great idea.

How do I protect my freshly cleaned floors on moving day? Don’t worry! We use floor runners and protective coverings to ensure that your clean carpets and hardwoods stay that way while we move your furniture in.

What is the most forgotten spot to clean in a new home? The “tops” of things! Specifically the tops of kitchen cabinets, door frames, and window sills. These areas collect dust for years and are often overlooked during a standard surface clean.

Can I leave cleaning supplies for the movers to use? Our professional movers come equipped with everything needed for the relocation itself. For your own cleaning, we recommend keeping a “Moving Day Kit” with paper towels, all-purpose cleaner, and trash bags easily accessible in your car.
