Many people like to give their home a good scrub before they settle in. If you’re cleaning before you unpack, consider prioritizing spaces like kitchens and bathrooms and all floors.
Supplies you might need include:
- All-purpose cleaner for general surface cleaning
- Disinfectant wipes to quickly sanitize door knobs, light switches, and fixtures
- Toilet bowl cleaner and brush to give toilets some extra shine
- Glass cleaner for mirrors and windows
- A broom and dustpan for sweeping up floors
- A mop and floor cleaner for giving kitchen and bathroom floors a scrub
- A vacuum for carpets
- Sponges for scrubbing counters, tubs, showers, and sinks
- Cleaning rags for all-purpose wipe-downs
- Paper towels or shop towels for quick touch-ups
Consider packing these items in boxes labeled “Open first” so you can get to cleaning supplies quickly.
