So far, we’ve only talked about cleaning your old home, but you’ll have to do the same when you arrive at your new one. Of course, the previous owners might have cleaned before they left. But no matter how tidy the house looks when you arrive, you’ll need to do some cleaning of your own.
And why? Well, because there’s no telling how thorough the previous owners were. Most visible surfaces may be clean, but that might not be the case with all cabinets, corners, and sinks. Dust and bacteria can settle in if you give them even the smallest chance, so ensure that you don’t.
Once again, if you feel that cleaning up is too much work on top of everything else, hire a professional. They have experience in move-in clean-ups, so they’ll probably be far more thorough than you’d be. And that’s just what you need!
