Efficient Ways to Clean a New Home: The Ultimate Move-In Checklist

Moving into a new home? Congratulations! Whether you’re settling into a newly built apartment in Bangalore or a renovated villa in Mangalore, there’s one crucial task that should top your to-do list: deep cleaning.

A new home may look clean at first glance, but hidden dust, construction residue, and lingering bacteria can turn your fresh start into a frustrating one. That’s why it’s important to follow a move-in cleaning checklist — or better yet, let the professionals handle it.

In this guide, Pinkclean, a leading ISO-certified deep cleaning service in Bangalore and Mangalore, shares expert tips on how to efficiently clean your new home and get it truly move-in ready.

🏠 Why Is Move-In Cleaning Important?

Before you unpack boxes or hang your first curtain, your new space needs a reset. Here’s why:

• Dust and debris from construction or previous tenants can remain hidden

• Germs and bacteria often linger on surfaces, switches, and bathrooms

• Clean spaces reduce stress and make moving-in smoother

• Ensures a safe, allergen-free environment for your family

✅ The Ultimate Move-In Cleaning Checklist

Here’s a room-by-room breakdown to ensure nothing is missed:

1. Ceilings, Walls & Corners

• Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, and air vents

• Remove cobwebs from corners and behind doors

• Wipe walls if stained or dusty (especially near switches)

Pinkclean Tip: Always start from the top down to avoid double work.

2. Windows & Grills

• Clean window tracks, glass panels, and security grills

• Polish handles and disinfect frequently touched areas

Bonus: Clean windows let in more light and instantly uplift your space.

3. Kitchen Deep Clean

• Degrease exhaust fans and chimney filters

• Scrub inside cabinets and drawers

• Disinfect countertops, sink, and backsplash

• Clean tiles and mop the floor thoroughly

Pinkclean Tip: Pay extra attention to corners where cockroaches might nest.

4. Bathrooms & Toilets

• Scrub tiles, toilet bowls, sinks, and taps

• Disinfect all surfaces, mirrors, and floors

• Remove any hard water stains or leftover grout

• Check for mold around corners and silicone edges

Pro move: Replace toilet seats if the home was previously occupied.

5. Bedrooms & Living Areas

• Dust wardrobes, wipe drawers and shelves

• Vacuum and clean floors beneath beds and sofas

• Clean light switches, plug points, and curtain rods

Pinkclean Insight: Many homes hide years of dirt beneath furniture—this is where professionals truly make a difference.

6. Floors & Skirting Boards

• Vacuum or sweep thoroughly

• Mop using antibacterial solutions

• Wipe and sanitize skirting boards
