Move-in cleaning should follow the sequence of "top to bottom, inside to outside," cleaning ceiling lamps and wall dust first, then dealing with the interior of cabinets and the floor. The kitchen and bathroom need focused disinfection, and it is imperative to keep the whole house ventilated to ensure pollutants like formaldehyde dissipate with air circulation. It is recommended to perform this before moving in furniture to ensure all corners are covered.
Core logic of move-in cleaning
Move-in cleaning is not just for aesthetic needs, but to clear away formaldehyde and fine construction dust left during renovation.
- Top to bottom: Clean the ceiling, lamps, and wall-mounted cabinets first.
- Inside to outside: Start from inside wardrobes and cabinets, finally cleaning the floor and door frames.
- Ventilation first: Keep doors and windows open throughout the process to promote air exchange.
- Turn off the main power switch to clean appliance surfaces.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulated on ceilings and walls.
- Dust and wipe down storage spaces.
Kitchen and bathroom deep cleaning
Kitchens and bathrooms are high-pollution areas. These places must use appropriate cleaning agents and be treated based on their specific materials.
- Kitchen: Disassemble and wash the range hood, and thoroughly wipe the interior of cabinets.
- Bathroom: Toilet, washbasin, bathtub, and wall tiles need disinfection.
- Drain: Ensure there are no construction debris blockages.
- Use neutral cleaning agents to clean the interior of cabinets.
- Disinfect high-frequency contact surfaces.
- Check drain clearance.
Cautions for wall and glass cleaning
Windows and walls after new renovation easily retain glue stains or dust. Please pay attention to protecting material surfaces during cleaning.
- Glass: Use a glass squeegee and dedicated cleaning agent.
- Walls: If it is wallpaper or art paint, only use a dry cloth to wipe lightly; wet wiping is strictly prohibited.
- Window frames: Clean up the dirt and sand remaining in the tracks.
- Check for leftover labels on glass.
- Use a dry cloth to sweep away floating dust on walls.
- Clean window frame grooves.
Formaldehyde and air health management
If there is a pungent odor in the air, it is mostly formaldehyde released by renovation materials. Do not blindly rely on air fresheners or cleaning agents to cover the smell.
- Forced ventilation: Ensure air circulation throughout the whole house.
- Pollution source control: Remove unnecessary packaging paper and construction material debris.
- Professional testing: If necessary, seek professional institutions for formaldehyde concentration testing.
- Open all doors and windows.
- Confirm the ventilation status of storage cabinets.
- Reduce the accumulation of clutter indoors.
