It’s an undeniably exciting journey when you first move into a new apartment or house. However, there are some considerable challenges associated with the process. When moving in, your first thought may be to set up all the furniture and appliances in their right places. Before you finish arranging the furniture you need to figure out the cleaning process.

Cleaning in a newly furnished apartment or house is nothing like your regular housekeeping routine. This requires a little something extra and it’s called deep cleaning. Deep cleaning is a sure-fire way to increase and maintain the lifespan of all the items in your house.

Here’s a savvy checklist to make sure you’ve covered every notoriously dirty spot in your new abode.

Ceiling Fans

Bet you didn’t see this one coming. Well that’s probably because you only notice them through your peripheral vision. Fans don’t get a lot of attention and in a new home, it’s wise to clean these first.

Stovetop

If you want to make sure your first meal in the new house isn’t your last meal; please clean the stovetop thoroughly. Most stoves have a metallic finish that won’t easily display the amount of dust and grime accumulated on it. You’ll need to scrub down the surface and inner ridges of the stovetop.

Storage areas

Clean through all cabinets, drawers, pantries and cupboards in your house. This goes without saying that this should probably be the first set of spaces you should clean in your new home. Imagine how cumbersome it would be to take out items from a pre-filled cabinet, clean the cabinet and then replace the items! Save your time and wipe through the compartments using a rag and cleaning solution.

Sinks and faucets

You’re probably going to use the sinks in your household quite often and this means there won’t be a better chance to deep clean them than your initial few days in the house. You can use a sponge or toothbrush to get into the hard-to-reach areas. Otherwise, you can always call in a helpful cleaning service to save the day.
