Moving into a new place is exciting, but it’s essential to ensure your new home is clean and comfortable before you settle in. We've created a helpful checklist to guide you through the move-in cleaning process so you can start fresh with peace of mind. If you'd prefer to leave the heavy lifting to the pros, our team is here to help!


Move-in Cleaning Checklist


Kitchen

  • Clean and disinfect all appliances (oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher).

  • Wipe down cabinets and drawers.

  • Disinfect high-touch areas like light switches and handles.

  • Clean sinks, taps, and countertops.

  • Vacuum and mop the floor, especially behind and under appliances.

Bathroom

  • Replace or disinfect the toilet seat.

  • Clean and sanitise the toilet, sink, taps, shower, and tub.

  • Check for and remove any mould.

  • Wipe down cabinets and mirrors.

  • Scrub tiles and grout, then rinse well.

  • Clean air vents if necessary.

Living Room

  • Wash windows, sills, and tracks.

  • Vacuum and, if possible, steam-clean carpets and upholstered furniture.

  • Dust light fixtures, skirting boards, and other hard-to-reach areas.

  • Disinfect door handles and light switches.

Bedroom

  • Vacuum or steam-clean carpets.

  • Clean under the bed and behind furniture.

  • Wipe down drawers and wardrobes inside.

  • Clean and disinfect surfaces, including light fixtures and skirting boards.

Items to Replace or Discard

To make your new place truly feel like home, consider replacing or discarding:

  • Toilet seats: Best to get a fresh one for hygiene.

  • Rugs: Rugs can harbour dust and bacteria; consider replacing if they weren’t professionally cleaned.

  • Bathroom curtains: If the previous ones are still there, it's worth replacing.

  • Cutlery: Bring your own for peace of mind.

  • Mattress and pillows: If not replacing, at least consider a thorough clean.
