Start fresh in your new home
Even when a previous tenant or owner has cleaned, a new home rarely feels truly clean. A move-in clean gives you a hygienic, fresh start before your furniture and boxes arrive, while the rooms are empty and every corner is easy to reach.
What a move-in clean includes
We focus on the places you will use first and the places that are hard to reach once you unpack:
- 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.
Timing your clean
The best time for a move-in clean is after you get the keys and before the removal van arrives. If your move is tight, we can clean early on moving day or the day before. Larger homes are cleaned by a team so everything is ready in one visit.
Move-in cleaning across Merton's neighbourhoods
In Colliers Wood, South Wimbledon, homes are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats. 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 Merton Park, Mitcham, Morden, Motspur Park, Wimbledon Park, homes are mostly 1920s and 30s semi-detached houses and bungalows. Family houses need the oven, garage or utility room, conservatory and every bathroom ready for the inventory, so we clean all of them, not just the main rooms.
In Pollards Hill, homes are mostly ex-council houses and low-rise flats. Housing officers and landlords check kitchens, bathrooms and floors first, so we deep clean limescale, cupboards and skirting boards in every room.
In Raynes Park, Wimbledon, homes are mostly a mix of period terraces, semis and modern flats. We follow the agent's inventory room by room, whatever the property, so you have the best chance of getting your full deposit back.
Tips for booking move-in cleaning in Merton
- Book the clean for after you collect the keys and before your furniture arrives.
- Ask the agent or seller for appliance manuals so you know how to use them once they are clean.
- Check parking and access in Merton for moving day and for our team.
- Line kitchen drawers and shelves after the clean if you like, as everything will be dry and fresh.
- Add carpet cleaning if the previous occupant had pets.
