Move-in cleaning checklist — print this

May 2026

Don't unpack into dust — tick these 18 points before boxes arrive.

We include lofts, grills and drains — things most teams skip. Use our sheet on arrival.

Before boxes arrive

  • Walls & grills dusted, cobwebs cleared
  • Loft and storage shelves wiped
  • Balcony, rails and drain cleared
  • Toilets descaled & sanitised

Kitchen

  • Chimney filter soaked (if fitted)
  • Cabinets inside-out wiped
  • Sink de-stained and drain flushed

Bedrooms & living

  • Windows + tracks cleaned
  • Fans & light fittings dusted
  • Floors vacuumed then mopped twice

Prefers a team to do it? Our Empty Home Intensive covers every point above in a single 4-hour visit — book it a day before your truck arrives.

Pro tip: schedule the clean the day before move-in, not after — you'll sleep better.
