When moving in to a new place, you’ll probably need to do a major cleanup. The bedrooms, the living room area, bathrooms of course, and most importantly the kitchen. That’s where most families spend the most time in, plus that’s where you’ll be preparing and cooking your food. You don’t want any germs or dirt in that area. A healthy kitchen is a healthy home. And it’s easier to clean it before you fully settle your major appliances like your fridge and stove and small electronic appliances typically found on kitchen counters everywhere. Here are a few random cleaning tips from your friends at All My Sons of Maryland, your premier moving company with four generations worth of moving experience: Make sure you have all the cleaning supplies you need like mops, sponges, some household products and all that good stuff. Before you move, you can dedicate an entire box just for your cleaning gear and label it. Make sure it’s you can find it pretty easily.
For cabinets, make sure you dust their surface and clean with a wet cloth afterwards. You can use a gentle surface cleaner. This will make them shine and kill germs.
To clean your granite countertops, make sure there’s nothing on them, which shouldn’t be a problem if you just moved in. You can wipe them down with a mix of vinegar and water or use a cleaner made especially for granite.
When it comes to cleaning your floors, you can use some pine oil. All My Sons of Maryland suggests you first dust away the dirt and debris on the floor and then mop with the solution. Not only will it clean, it will also leave a great odor behind. Be careful of using too much solution on laminate floors.
If you have a window sill or blinds, make sure you vacuum all the dust and dirt away. There’s probably lots of it trapped in there.
Don’t forget the inside of the kitchen’s drawers, wipe them down with a gentle formula. The same with the inside of the cabinets. Remember, most of your dishes will be going in there, so you want to make sure it’s clean.
Drop a little bit of baking soda down the garbage disposal (if you have one) to freshen up your drain.
