How to Clean Your New Home: Tips & tricks

Moving to a new home is a fresh start. But, it requires a lot of work. Cleaning is one of the steps. It is easier to clean your new home before your household items arrive. And also, if you need to repair something (painting the walls, changing wallpapers and carpets, etc.) do it before a moving day if you are able to. Of course, it is not always a solution.

If you are moving to another country, cleaning a home before moving is probably not possible for you. So, you have two solutions in this case. The first is to hire a cleaning service and the second is to clean it after moving (when the items are still in boxes). Besides you want to pack and move like a pro, you should also unpack and clean a new home like a pro. If you want to do it on your own, here we have simple cleaning tips and tricks.

Prepare a box to clean your new home

An essential box is a box you will unpack first after the move. You should pack clothing, towels, linens, but also cleaning supplies. If you are moving to a new city, finding stores and buying cleaning supplies right after moving is very, very difficult. Especially if you don’t speak their language. So, the best and safest solution is to pack cleaning supplies you are already using. Bu, make sure they are new and unopened. It is dangerous to move open cleaning products.

The whole family should be involved

If you want to clean your new home by yourself (before or after moving, does not matter), and if you are moving with a family, each person in a family should clean. If your kids are old enough to help you, they can clean their new bedroom. On the other hand, if you are moving alone, ask family members or friends to help you clean.

Start from the top

It is a rule for every room and for the entire home too. So, start with the ceiling. If you clean the floor first and the ceiling fans after, dust will be on the floors again, so you will clean the same thing twice. Start from the top in each room you will clean.

Clean the bathroom

Many people start with a bathroom., especially if moving was long and exhausting. They want to go to the bathroom,  take a shower, etc. So, clean your new home starting with a bathroom. Probably the safest way for a toilet seat is to replace them and put a new one. The rest items you can deep clean and use again. Scrub the tub or a shower with cleaning supplies you used before.

Cleaning a new kitchen

Clean the fridge and a stove first when you are in the kitchen. You will probably have something to put in the fridge right after moving, so it is the first thing you should clean in the kitchen. There are non-toxic cleaning products you can use if you want to avoid chemicals. After that, clean the walls, cabinets, and countertops. The kitchen is the heart of every home, so make sure it is personalized and cleaned deeply.

Clean room by room

When it comes to bedrooms, you should clean room by room. First, start with a bedroom where you will sleep and the living room. Kids can clean their own rooms, but if you are moving alone then first clean your bedroom. If you are moving with a spouse, clean the entire room together and then start with room number two, etc. Clean the windows and if the home has carpets, you need to deep clean them.

Do the floors at the end

Leave the floors in the entire home for the end. Dust and dirt will be in your home while you are cleaning, so do not clean the same thing twice. It is easier to clean wooden floors and tiles than the carpet. If you have carpets, then the best way is to hire professionals to clean them.

Don’t put all your items in before you clean your new home

Keep your new home clean and open. So, if you have too many items, do not unpack all of them. For the rest of the items, find storage units Kuwait and store all the unnecessary and off-season items. Also, you can put all the furniture inside of a storage unit while you are cleaning or remodeling a new home. It is much easier to work in empty space and your items will not be damaged.

Now when you have all the tips and trick how to clean your new home, you can make a plan where to start and how to clean, or what to repair. It is not difficult to clean a home, even if the furniture is already inside. If you have someone to help you, it will be even easier. Good luck with moving into a new home. After the cleaning is over, make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and relax.
