While there is much to be excited about during an initial home move, cleaning does not make the list of considerations for most homeowners. A proper move-in cleaning, however, will leave your new space feeling fresher and make sure it meets all cleanliness standards, is free from dust, allergens, and remains from previous inhabitants. Here’s how to get the job done effectively in Denver:.
Plan First
Before you begin cleaning, take some time to make a plan of which areas you will clean. This can be a bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen, or the living room. Certain areas require more attention, helping you focus on one area at a time, that makes it feel so much easier to do.
Gather Your Supplies
An efficient cleaning process requires proper cleaning supplies. Have all-purpose cleaners, disinfectants, microfiber cloths, mops, brooms, and vacuum cleaners on hand. For special-purpose surfaces such as wood, glass, and stainless steel, also invest in specific products. Don’t forget to choose eco-friendly products for a healthy environment in your new home.
Declutter Before You Clean
Clean out each room before you scrub. Not only will it make cleaning easier, but you can also get a sense of where you’d like to put your furniture and decor. As you unpack, separate your items and decide if you are going to keep it, donate it, or toss it. A clutter-free space isn’t just cleaner; it’s more inviting, too.
Clean Top to Bottom
Cleaning is always from top to bottom: dusting light fixtures, ceiling fans, and shelves first, then the walls and baseboards, and lastly the floors, in order that anything that falls from there can be brushed or vacuumed up.
The systematic approach avoids re-cleaning things that have already been cleaned.
Don’t Forget the Details
Make sure to concentrate on the details too, like cleaning windows, door handles, and light switches, which are likely areas for germs and dust. A complete clean will really make your new home feel fresh and welcoming.
