Move-In Move-Out Cleaning. 5 Steps for a Successful Moving Cleaning. If it’s time for you to move on from your current commercial or residential space, you’re going to need to pack up, clean up, and move out of the space to make room for the next tenant. It may feel completely overwhelming to think about the long, arduous process of getting everything from your current location to your new one AND cleaning everything, but if you follow our simple, 5-step process, you’ll be done before you know it. Should the thought of cleaning up and moving out of your space all on your own seem like a nightmare to you, consider enlisting the services of 3aclean. 3aclean has been providing superlative commercial cleaning service to the Denver, CO area for over 20 years. We would be happy to help you clean up and move-in or move-out from your commercial or residential space.

Pack Up Everything Before You Clean

One of the most common mistakes during a move-out is attempting to clean before you’ve fully packed. This effectively doubles your work as you’ll have to clean AGAIN after boxing up and moving everything out. Save yourself the hassle and pack up everything before you get the gloves out to do your deep clean.

Create a Staging Area for Your Packed Boxes

If you able to, take your boxes to your new facility right away. However, if this is not a possibility for one reason or another, creating a dedicated area in the space where all of the packed boxes can stay will allow you to clean all of the other areas more easily.

Perform Top-Down Cleaning

The famous quote: “you may hate gravity, but gravity doesn’t care” is especially true when it comes to cleaning. All of the dust and spiderwebs that get cleaned during the process will eventually find their way to the floor. So, just like with tip #1 about packing up everything first to ensure you don’t have to clean twice, apply the same principle by cleaning the ceiling and high shelves first and moving down from there.

Clean the Windows Thoroughly

You’ll want to spend some extra time on the windows to ensure the glass is cleared of all smudges and dust that may have accumulated during your time in the space. Using a window cleaner, vacuum, and simple rag can work wonders in leaving your windows looking brand new.

Take Care of the Bathrooms and Kitchen Last

While you’re hard at work packing up and cleaning out the facility, you’ll probably need to use the bathroom a few times. Also, the kitchen is one of the dirtiest areas in your house.  Therefore, you’ll want to wait until the last possible minute to sanitize these areas to make sure you really perform a deep clean. Your landlord will likely pay very close attention to your kitchen, so make sure you really put some effort into addressing the little details in this area. Then, when you’ve finished with the kitchen, move to the bathroom, scrub down the toilets and sinks, mop the floors, and polish the mirrors as your final act before you leave the space for good.
