Pre-move-in cleaning cheat sheet.

Pre-move-in cleaning should follow the strategy of high-to-low and inside-out. This guide provides necessary tool preparation, standard cleaning steps, and kitchen/bath care highlights to ensure the home environment is sanitary and comfortable, helping you efficiently complete cleaning work after moving.

Cleaning before moving in should start from the ceiling and lamps, then move to walls, windows, cabinets, and finally clean the floor. The focus is on deep cleaning and disinfection of the kitchen and bathroom, and ensuring good indoor ventilation. If you encounter severe dirt or renovation residues, it is recommended to consult 壹家壹清潔專家 for professional handling.

Cleaning strategy and preparation

Cleaning should follow the principle of "top-to-bottom, inside-to-outside," starting with ceilings and lamps, then cleaning walls, cabinets, and floors to prevent secondary dust pollution. Before starting, be sure to confirm environmental ventilation and wear gloves and masks for protection.

  • Vacuum cleaner
  • Microfiber cloth
  • Bucket and mop
  • Protective gloves and masks
  • Multi-purpose neutral cleaning agent
  1. Remove all clutter and garbage first
  2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dust on walls and ceilings
  3. Wipe the inside and outside of cabinets and cupboard surfaces with diluted cleaning agent
  4. Finally mop the floor with clean water and ensure thorough air drying

Key cleaning for kitchen and bathroom

The kitchen and bathroom are areas where bacteria easily grow; priority should be given to cleaning the sink, stove, and bathroom fixtures. It is strictly forbidden to mix bleach with acidic cleaning agents to avoid toxic gas. When handling surface dirt, you should first clear it with a cleaning agent, and then perform disinfection based on material suitability.

Before using bleach, please first understand Method for using bleach from the Centre for Health Protection(opens in a new window), and operate according to the product label.

  1. Clear kitchen grease and confirm that exhaust equipment is working properly
  2. Clean surface dirt on bathroom faucets and fixtures
  3. If disinfection is required, please follow the product manual's dilution ratio for use
  4. Check if window seals are aged

Material care and safety tips

Different surface materials react differently to cleaning agents; test in a hidden corner before cleaning. Do not disassemble electrical appliances or power installations yourself. If high-altitude cleaning is required, please use a suitable footstool and do not climb dangerously.

  • Wood floor: Use special wood floor cleaning agent, avoid too much residual moisture
  • Metal surface: Avoid using rough scouring pads to avoid scratching
  • Glass window: Use special glass cleaning squeegee, do not use strong chemicals
  1. Material testing: Test cleaning agents in inconspicuous places first
  2. Completion inspection: Check the smoothness of opening and closing all cabinet doors
  3. Ensure drying: Maintain indoor convection air to prevent residual moisture from causing mold
