How to deep clean an apartment before moving in?

I recently found a rented flat and I requested the owner for a deep cleaning apartment before moving in as previous tenants were there. I was at the site when the professionals from NoBroker arrived and deep cleaned the apartment in my presence. I am mentioning below how they went about it.

How to Deep Clean an Apartment Before Moving in a Flat?

Here is the step-by-step approach the professionals took to ensure fresh and healthy environment:

• They began by dusting all surfaces, including baseboards, window sills, and light fixtures. They used a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove dust and debris from carpets, rugs, and upholstery.

• They washed the windows inside and out to let in natural light and improve visibility. They cleaned the walls with a mild detergent.

• For the kitchen, they cleaned the appliances, countertops, and cabinets. They used a degreaser for stubborn stains and a disinfectant for high-touch areas. In the bathroom, they scrubbed the sink, toilet, shower, and bathtub. They used a mold and mildew remover.

• They mopped hard floors with a suitable cleaner for the flooring type. For carpets, they steam cleaned it. They wiped down all remaining surfaces, including door knobs and switches.

Finally, the apartment was ready to be moved in. It was a lengthy and time taking process. I would highly advise getting deep cleaning professionals as they have the right tools and cleaning materials.

A thorough deep cleaning is necessary, even in the cleanest homes. While you deep clean a home, it might be useful to divide the job into smaller, easier-to-manage jobs to prevent feeling stressed. You'll learn in detail if you follow my deep cleaning guidelines on how to deep clean an apartment before moving in.

What is the process to deep clean a flat before moving in?

Steel wool or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar are both safe to use on tough spots in a stainless steel washbasin. The washbasin will definitely sparkle after you've cleaned stains off it with a water and lemon juice solution. You should dust cabinet surfaces inside and out and clean them with a soft cloth.

You can clean your bathroom with a variety of chemicals, but a paste made of vinegar and baking soda also functions well and removes soapy residue. Apply this to the washbasin and bathtub. Spray a solution of one part vinegar to one part water over the glass shower doors to clean them. 

Renting, buying, or hiring someone to steam clean for you all sounds right. Steam washing gets care of pet odours while removing difficult stains and offering a thorough cleaning. If you have the correct tools, you can steam clean sealed hardwood floors as well. Unsealed hardwood floors should not be steam cleaned because water could seep in and destroy the surface.

If you don't have young children, one thing you won't likely ever do again washes the walls in your new house. But unless you intend to paint right away, it is good to do it just once. You can use vinegar and water, which are suitable for most surfaces, to clean walls. If the previous owner had kids, pay particular attention to places up to approximately waist level where dirt and spiders like to build in the corners.

I hope you understood how to deep clean an apartment before moving in.
