Move-In Cleaning Guide: Make Your New Home Truly Yours

You’ve finally closed on your dream home—congrats! The keys are in hand, and a new chapter begins. But before you start unpacking, it’s time to face the not-so-glamorous reality: cleaning up after the previous owners.

At On-Target Floor Care, we’re here to help you deep clean your home from top to bottom—so you and your family can start fresh in a safe, spotless space.

Why Move-In Cleaning Matters

Even if your home looks tidy at first glance, hidden dirt, grime, allergens, and odors can linger beneath the surface. This is especially true if:

  • The seller remained in the home after closing.

  • There were pets in the house.

  • The floors haven’t been professionally cleaned in a while.

  • You’re planning renovations that stir up dust and debris.

What to Check Before Cleaning

  • Final Walkthrough: Look for new stains, odors, or buildup now that the furniture is gone.

  • Maintenance Records: Has the HVAC system or flooring been recently cleaned or replaced?

  • Upcoming Renovations: Schedule floor and air duct cleaning after drywall or construction work to avoid re-contamination.
