Why Cleaning Before Moving Matters More Than You Think

Some people believe that moving into a new home or apartment needs no more cleaning than a simple wipe-down. However, this is not the case. When you move into a home where people have lived before, you’re moving into their left over dust, bacteria, and other types of contaminants. There is often hidden mold, unseen by the naked eye, but detrimental to health and cleanliness. A deep cleaning is necessary before you move in. But what about new construction? If you’re moving into a new home that’s never been occupied, does it still need to be cleaned before you live in it? It absolutely does. A new home may look spotless, but construction dirt, debris, and residue can be left behind. Hiring a professional cleaning service ensures that the house you are moving into is a home, not a construction site. In addition to cleaning the home you’re moving into, you’ll want to enlist the services of a professional to clean the home you’re leaving behind, to alleviate the stress that comes with moving day.

Who Our Move-in/Move-Out Cleaners Help Most

Move-in/Move-out cleaning services are useful to anyone who is moving in or out of a house or apartment. They’re also a great tool for realtors and property managers, who can use these services to make their properties more appealing. Moving day cleaning services aren’t just for situations in which ownership changes hands, though. If you’re a renter, professional cleaners can give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your former home will be returned to its original condition before your landlord inspects it, and your deposit will be returned to you. Landlords love using professional cleaners, too, so that they can maintain a superior level of cleanliness in their properties.

Preparing for Professional Move-Out or Move-In Cleaning Services

The best way to prepare for move-in cleaning services is to plan to move your things into your new home after the cleaning has been completed. This gives the cleaning team an empty space to clean, with no distractions. When you’re moving out, you’ll also need to empty the space, and this requires some preparation.

  • Remove all personal items and trash from each room.
  • Empty the refrigerator.
  • Patch any holes in the walls.
  • Secure any valuable items left in the house.
  • Make sure the utilities remain on until the cleaners have completed their work.
  • Plan to do a walkthrough and make sure the house is cleaned to your specifications once the cleaners are finished.

Helpful Tips to Make Moving Easier

Moving can be stressful, so anything you can do to make the process easier is good for your frame of mind.

  • Declutter ahead of time. Donate, sell, or give away extraneous items; don’t pay to move things you no longer need.
  • Work with a checklist. Be as organized as possible, to reduce the stress of your move.
  • Start packing early. As soon as you know you’re going to move, begin filling boxes with things you’re not currently using.
  • Pack a box of essentials for the first few days. When your entire world is boxes, and you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’ll be glad you set aside one box for the things you need to get by during those first few hectic days in the new place.
  • Enlist help. Whether you hire a moving company or rely on the kindness of your friends and family, make sure you line up the help you need early in the process. While you’re at it, enlist the help of professional cleaners, to get your new home ready and leave your new home spotless.
