Why Deep Clean Before Moving In?

A freshly renovated flat may look clean, but it is full of fine renovation dust — hiding inside cabinets, window tracks, lampshades and air conditioners, and a quick wipe-down won’t remove it. Renovation dust contains concrete powder, sawdust and chemicals that are harmful to breathe in.

The golden window for deep cleaning is before furniture and appliances move in — with the flat completely empty, every corner is reachable.

The Most Commonly Missed Spots

Kitchen cabinet and wardrobe interiors: renovation dust loves settling inside cabinets — skip them and your clothes and tableware will gather dust.

Window tracks and frames: packed with cement debris and dust — each track needs a brush and vacuum.

Exhaust fans and air conditioners: they sucked in huge amounts of dust during renovation and will keep blowing it back out unless cleaned.

Lampshades, false ceilings and cabinet tops: invisible from the floor — until you turn on a fan and dust rains down.

Drains and pipes: renovation debris easily causes blockages — inspect and clear them once before moving in to be safe.

DIY or Hire a Professional Team?

Post-renovation cleaning is heavy work and needs specialised tools and cleaning agents to do properly. Professional move-in cleaning covers ceiling to floor — full dusting, window glass, kitchen and bathroom disinfection and descaling — so you can move in with just your luggage.

Book the cleaning before your furniture is delivered — clean first, then move furniture in, for the best result.
