Move In House Cleaning
A move-in house cleaning service focuses on preparing the property for comfortable living by cleaning areas that may have been overlooked during previous occupancy, renovation, or the moving process. Move-in house cleaning typically covers key areas such as floors, walls, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards, doors, and other frequently touched surfaces. It can also include removing dust, dirt, stains, grease, and accumulated debris from the property.
Whether you are moving into a newly constructed house, a previously occupied home, or a rental property, a thorough move-in cleaning can help create a cleaner and more comfortable environment before you settle in. It also gives you an opportunity to identify areas that need extra attention before your belongings are fully moved into the house.

How We Carry Out Move In House Cleaning Services
At Titossy Cleaning Services, our Move In House Cleaning Services follow a practical cleaning process based on the condition and requirements of the property.
1. Assessing the Property
Before cleaning begins, the property can be assessed to understand the scope of work and identify the areas that require the most attention. At Titossy Cleaning Services, we look at the general condition of the house, the size of the property, the number of rooms, and the level of dirt, dust, stains, or other cleaning requirements. The assessment also helps us determine whether the property requires standard move-in cleaning or additional services such as deep cleaning or post-construction cleaning. We can also identify specific areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, floors, windows, cabinets, and other surfaces that may require more detailed cleaning.
The assessment may consider:
- Size of the house
- Number of bedrooms
- Number of bathrooms and toilets
- Condition of the kitchen
- Type and condition of flooring
- Windows and glass surfaces
- Level of dust and dirt
- Stains and areas requiring additional attention
- Any additional cleaning requirements
2. Preparing the Cleaning Areas
The team prepares the areas to be cleaned and organises the cleaning process according to the house. This involves identifying the different rooms and surfaces that need attention and arranging the cleaning activities in a practical order. Proper preparation helps the team work efficiently while ensuring that the agreed areas are not overlooked..
Where possible, move-in cleaning is carried out before furniture and personal belongings are brought into the house. This allows the team to reach more surfaces and areas of the property.
3. Dusting and Surface Cleaning
Dust can settle on many surfaces, particularly in houses that have been vacant or recently completed. During construction, renovation, moving, or periods when a property is unoccupied, dust can accumulate on doors, shelves, cabinets, skirting boards, window frames, and other surfaces. Even when a house looks clean at first glance, fine dust can remain in corners and less visible areas.
We clean accessible surfaces such as:
- Doors and door frames
- Skirting boards
- Shelves
- Cabinets
- Cupboards
- Light switches
- Other accessible surfaces
4. Kitchen Cleaning

Depending on the condition of the kitchen, cleaning may include:
- Kitchen cabinets
- Cupboards
- Countertops

For properties with heavier dirt or specific floor-cleaning requirements, additional cleaning may be recommended.
