Move-in cleaning is a thorough clean of a new home before you move your furniture in, and it’s one of the most overlooked steps in a move.
Why it matters
Even a home that looks tidy on handover often hasn’t been genuinely deep cleaned, cupboards, appliances and skirting boards are easy for a previous owner to overlook. Starting from a genuinely clean baseline matters for both hygiene and peace of mind.
Timing
Ideally, move-in cleaning happens after you get the keys but before furniture arrives, an empty property is faster and more thorough to clean.
Getting started
See our move-in cleaning page for pricing, or compare it against move-out cleaning if you’re at the other end of a move.
