Pre-Occupation Cleaning: Move Into a Spotless New Home
Pre-occupation cleaning gets your new home spotless before you move in — every cupboard, surface and floor cleaned so you start fresh.
Moving into a new home is the perfect time for a clean slate. Pre-occupation cleaning makes sure the space is spotless before your furniture arrives.
Pre-Occupation Cleaning: what you need to know
Before boxes and furniture fill the rooms, every cupboard, surface and floor is easy to reach and clean. A pre-occupation clean means you never move into someone else’s dust.
It is far easier to do this while the home is empty — which is exactly when a professional team can be most thorough.
Top tips
- Clean while the home is still empty
- Wipe inside every cupboard and drawer
- Sanitise kitchens and bathrooms fully
- Clean all floors before furniture arrives
- Combine with carpet cleaning for a full reset
