Starting Fresh: A Guide to Professional Move-In Cleaning Services
Moving into a new home is one of life's most exciting milestones. It’s a blank canvas, a fresh start, and the beginning of a new chapter. But before you can start unpacking boxes and arranging furniture, there’s one crucial step that ensures your new beginning is a truly clean and healthy one: a professional move-in cleaning.
You have no way of knowing the cleaning habits of the previous occupants. Even a home that looks "empty" can harbor hidden dirt, dust, and allergens from years of previous use. At hey.cleaning, we provide a comprehensive move-in cleaning service for new residents in Chicago, designed to give you the ultimate peace of mind and a truly pristine space to call your own.
Beyond "Broom Clean": Why a Move-In Clean is Essential
The term "broom clean" simply means the previous owners have swept the floors and removed their belongings. A professional move-in clean is a deep, sanitizing process that addresses the unseen grime left behind.
- A Truly Hygienic Start: We perform a top-to-bottom disinfection of the entire home, paying special attention to high-touch surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms. This eliminates the germs, bacteria, and potential viruses left behind by previous residents.
- Eliminating Hidden Allergens: Dust, pet dander, and pollen from the previous owners can be deeply embedded in carpets, closets, and air vents. A thorough move-in clean removes these irritants, creating healthier indoor air quality from day one.
- Clean Spaces for Your Belongings: You want to place your clean dishes in clean cabinets and your fresh clothes in clean closets. Our service ensures that every drawer, shelf, and cabinet is wiped down and ready for your belongings.
- The Ultimate Stress Reducer: Moving is exhausting. The last thing you want to do upon arrival is start a massive cleaning project. A professional move-in clean allows you to focus on the exciting part—unpacking and settling in.
Our Move-In Cleaning Checklist: A Top-to-Bottom Reset
Our service is designed to be incredibly thorough, taking advantage of the fact that the home is empty to clean every possible surface.
Kitchen Sanitization
We deep clean the heart of your new home, including cleaning the inside and outside of all cabinets and drawers, disinfecting countertops, scrubbing the sink, and deep cleaning the oven, refrigerator, and other appliances.
Bathroom Deep Clean
We restore the bathrooms to a sparkling, hygienic state. This involves a deep scrub of showers, tubs, and toilets, cleaning inside all vanities and medicine cabinets, and sanitizing all surfaces.
Closets, Shelves, and Storage
All closets, pantries, and storage areas are wiped down and cleaned, providing a fresh space for you to organize your life.
Walls, Floors, and Fixtures
We wipe down all baseboards, door frames, and window sills. All floors are meticulously vacuumed and mopped. We also clean light fixtures and ceiling fans to ensure a complete, top-to-bottom clean.
The ideal time to schedule your move-in cleaning is the day before your moving truck arrives. This ensures the home is in perfect condition and gives you a completely clean and unobstructed space for movers to work in.
Your new home in Chicago deserves a truly fresh start. The professional move-in cleaning service from hey.cleaning is your guarantee of a clean, healthy, and welcoming environment from the moment you step through the door. Let us handle the first and most important task, so you can focus on the joy of creating your new home.
