Make your new home easier to settle into with a practical cleaning plan before furniture, boxes, and everyday life arrive.
Book the clean before the boxes arrive
An empty property gives a cleaning team easier access to floors, cupboards, and corners. Where possible, plan your move-in clean after maintenance work is finished and before furniture deliveries begin.
Check the property together
Walk through each room and identify marks, leftover debris, or fittings that need attention. Separate cleaning tasks from repairs and let your landlord or property manager know about maintenance issues.
Start with storage and kitchen surfaces
If cupboard interiors are included in the booking, have them cleaned before unpacking food, crockery, and clothes. Confirm whether appliance interiors are included and follow the care requirements for each surface.
Refresh bathrooms and bedrooms
Have bathroom fixtures, mirrors, and accessible surfaces cleaned before putting out towels and personal items. In bedrooms, give attention to wardrobes, skirting boards, and floor edges while the rooms are still clear.
Finish with floors and touch points
Dust settles during a move, so finish the pre-move clean with floors and accessible high-touch areas such as handles and switches. Keep a small cleaning kit ready for a light reset after unpacking.
Share access and timing details
Confirm electricity, water, building entry, parking, and lift arrangements before the appointment. Tell the cleaning team about delivery times or contractors who may still be working in the property.
