Move-in clean checklist for Kew homes
Every move-in cleaning job in Kew follows a written, room-by-room checklist, so nothing depends on memory. Before we start, we walk through the property with you or your agent and adjust the list to suit it.
- Kitchen cupboards, drawers and shelves cleaned inside and out before you fill them.
- Oven, hob, fridge and other appliances wiped inside and out.
- Bathrooms sanitised, with limescale removed from taps, tiles and screens.
- Wardrobes and built-in storage cleaned inside.
- Skirting boards, doors, frames, handles, switches and sockets wiped.
- Windows, sills and frames wiped inside.
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout.
Move-in cleaning for Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Kew
Homes across Kew are mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats. Period terraces have sash windows, picture rails, original fireplaces and tiled hallways that collect dust. Our teams plan each visit around the property, not a one-size-fits-all routine. Letting agents in period conversions check skirting boards, sash window runners, fireplace surrounds and the kitchen extractor, so these are on our checklist as standard.
In conversions we pay extra attention to shared entrances, steep stairs and small kitchens where grease builds up fast. Whether you live near Kew Gardens or on a quiet residential street, the standard is the same.
Tips before your move-in clean in Kew
A little preparation helps your clean go smoothly and makes sure the time is spent where it matters most.
- Add carpet cleaning if the previous occupant had pets.
- Take meter readings before you move in.
- Check parking and access in Kew for moving day and for our team.
- Leaving another rental? Book an end of tenancy clean for your old home at the same time.
