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
