What to Clean First After Moving?
Move in Cleaning in Houston
Start in the Bathroom
Some will say to start with the kitchen. However when it comes times to break the seal from that extra-large coffee and a double shot of espresso, you are not going to want to go in that dirty bathroom. The only exception to this rule is if you have food that needs refrigerating. In this case, clean the refrigerator first, and then go do the bathroom. You might be tempted to leave the bathtub or shower until later, but when your energy completely depletes all of a sudden and all you want to do is shower and sleep, you will be happy you cleaned the entire bathroom earlier.
Kitchen is Second
The kitchen is probably the first room you will fully unpack so you can regain some level of normality, so it makes sense to clean this next. If you have not already cleaned the fridge, this will need to be done. If you are lucky enough to have a self-cleaning oven then pull the lever and start it. Scrub the sink, counters, and backsplash, and thoroughly wipe the cupboard shelves and drawers. Do not forget all the handles and knobs!
Child’s Room
If you have a child then their room should be next. You might be able to endure sleeping in a dirty room for one night but you probably will want your child’s room clean. Scrub the walls before you even set up the bed or crib or start unpacking the dresser. If you have a carpet cleaner, you might want to clean this carpet first. Again, do not forget the door knobs.
The Rest
If you have not run out of energy yet, your bedroom should be next. You do not necessarily need to clean your carpets yet if you don’t have the time. It may be easier to clean your bedroom carpet with the hallway and living room later. The home office and any other extra rooms should be last.
Considerations
One of the first things you should do is replace the filter to the furnace or clean the filter to the window air conditioner, if applicable. Who knows when these items were cleaned last? This is especially important if anyone in the home has allergies or asthma. You can always find out ahead of time what size filter the furnace takes and pick one up before your move. Pack it in your essentials box so it’s handy upon arrival.
If you move somewhere with impressions in the carpet that were made from heavy furniture, you do not have to plan your layout to cover them up. In most cases, if you leave an ice cube on them overnight, the fibers will loosen back up again.
