Move-In Cleaning Checklist
Clean Before the Truck Arrives
An empty home is easier to clean. If possible, complete the major work before furniture and boxes enter the space.
Start High and Work Down
Dust vents, fans, shelves, cabinets, window frames, and baseboards before cleaning floors. This prevents repeating work.
Kitchen and Bathroom
Sanitize counters, sinks, cabinets, appliances, toilets, tubs, and showers. Confirm that water, electricity, and appliances function before moving day.
Floors and Access Routes
Vacuum or mop rooms and clear the paths the movers will use. Allow wet floors to dry fully to reduce slipping risk.
Safety Check
Test smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, change locks if appropriate, locate the electrical panel and water shutoff, and confirm that exterior lighting works.
