Pre-move-in deep cleaning for the New Year: Cleaning guide for welcoming a new beginning.

Perform comprehensive cleaning before moving into a new home to ensure a clean and sanitary living environment. This guide covers key cleaning points for every area, helping you establish a comfortable and healthy living space for the new year.

Move-in cleaning should adhere to the principle of working from top to bottom and from inside to outside. First conduct a comprehensive inspection and ventilation, clean drawers and cabinets, and finally disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as door handles and sockets to ensure every corner meets hygienic standards.

Cleaning preparation and personal protection

Spring cleaning before moving in involves a large amount of dust and potentially hidden dirt; preparation is key.

  • Protective equipment: Wear gloves, masks, and goggles to prevent dust allergies.
  • Inspection work: First confirm whether water, electricity, and drainage facilities are operating normally. If you find leaking pipes or damaged appliances, please contact maintenance first; do not clean them yourself without prior handling.
  • Ventilation condition: Keep windows throughout the house open to ensure air circulation.

Cleaning should follow specific procedures to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.

  1. Ceiling and high places: Clean dust accumulation from light fixtures and ceilings.
  2. Cabinetry and kitchen: The inside of drawers must be wiped with a slightly damp cloth, and the inside of cabinets must be confirmed to be thoroughly dry before putting items in.
  3. Kitchen facilities: When cleaning grease, first assess the surface material, avoiding the use of steel wool that would scratch the surface.
  4. Bathroom: For dirt in tile gaps, choose mild cleaning agents suitable for the material, and wipe thoroughly dry to prevent mold growth.

Detailed handling and protection focus

Frequently touched surfaces such as switches, sockets, door handles, and railings should be disinfected by wiping with alcohol. Do not spray cleaning liquid directly onto sockets; the cleaning liquid should be sprayed on a cloth and then wiped gently to avoid liquid seeping into the interior and causing a short circuit.
