Cleaning before moving into your new home is a good habit to ensure the environment is fresh and hygienic. Here are some cleaning tips for your new home:

Gather cleaning supplies: Before you begin, gather cleaning supplies, including detergent, brushes, mops, vacuum cleaners, mopping towels, and trash bags.

Safety first: Make sure you stay safe, wear gloves and, if necessary, a mask, especially if you use strong cleaning products.

Open windows to ventilate: If possible, open windows to ventilate and release any lingering odors in the space.

Make a plan: Create a cleaning schedule that covers every room or area in the house. Prioritize rooms that are used immediately, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Dust and Vacuum: Start by dusting all surfaces, including ceiling fans, light fixtures, and air conditioning vents. Vacuum carpets, rugs and floors to remove dust and debris.

Wipe down surfaces: Clean and disinfect all surfaces, including cupboards, shelves and cupboards. Use appropriate cleaning products for different surfaces (for example, kitchen cleaner for kitchen surfaces, bathroom cleaner for bathrooms).

Clean appliances: If applicable, clean the inside and outside of appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers. Check for signs of damage or wear.

Wash walls and baseboards: Wipe down walls and baseboards to remove dust and any marks or scratches.

Clean the bathroom: In the bathroom, scrub the toilet, sink, tub or shower, and tiles. Pay special attention to stucco joints, where dirt and mold can accumulate.

Clean windows and mirrors: Use glass cleaner to clean windows and mirrors. Check the glass for stickers or residue.

Check the floor: Check the condition of the floor. If necessary, clean, polish or refinish hardwood floors, or steam clean carpets.

Kitchen Cleaning: In the kitchen, clean and disinfect all surfaces, including the insides of cabinets and drawers. Check the cleanliness of appliances.

Deep Clean Equipment: Clean light fixtures, ceiling fans and built-in features like shelves or built-in seating.

Garages and outdoor areas: If you have a garage or outdoor space, clean those areas as well. Clean the garage and remove any debris from the outdoor space.

Rekey the locks: Consider rekeying the locks on your doors to ensure security.

Check for issues: While cleaning, inspect the house for any issues or maintenance that need fixing. Document any damage, leaks, or issues that need to be addressed.

Pest Control: Arrange for pest control if needed. Check for signs of pests and if found, deal with the problem immediately.

Utilities and Systems: Make sure all utilities (water, gas, electric) are connected and functioning properly. Check heating and cooling systems to make sure they are functioning properly.

Consider professional cleaning: For a truly thorough clean, you may want to hire a professional cleaner with experience cleaning after construction or after move-in.

Step-by-step move-in: If possible, start moving in your belongings gradually, starting with the essentials. This allows you to keep your space clean and organized

By following these tips, you can ensure that your new home is clean, comfortable, and ready for you to move in and enjoy.
