Cleaning Tips for Moving Out

When making a move, we tend to be caught up in the excitement of a new house and city. While we are caught up in delight we sometimes forget things that need to get done in the house we are leaving. A moving out checklist is a great tool to make sure that you get everything done. Use the following list as a guide to help you have everything ready to go when the moving company shows up.

Cleaning

Of course, we plan to leave the house spotless when we move out, but some areas can sneak past a watchful eye. Keep track of your list, and you won’t miss anything.

  • Dust ceiling fans in every room.
  • Clean the windows including panels and ledges.
  • Clean the walls and baseboards and get rid of all cobwebs.
  • It might be best to get the carpet professionally cleaned if you want to make sure you didn’t miss any spots.

Repairs

It’s best to leave a house the way you found it. Quick repairs can make all the difference in leaving your old house in pristine condition.

  • Take all nails and screws out of the walls. A quick putty job will make the wall look like new.
  • If any light switches or outlets need a new face, you can replace them quickly.
  • You may need to replace toilet seat in bathrooms if they look unkept.
  • Remove liners from bathroom drawers; this will help make sure you’ve removed all the hair that might be laying around.

There is no such thing as being too prepared, especially when it comes to moving. If you remind yourself of what you need to clean and repair in the house, you can move out with out any worries. If you are looking for a certified professional moving company in Boise, call us today!
