Move-In/Out Cleaning
Whether you’re selling or renting, you always need to leave your old place super clean.
But first there’s all that packing, then the boxes are going out the door, and before you know it you’re being asked to lock up and go. When do you possibly have time to clean?
Moving is such a chore. It seems the packing process will never end, and unless you’re a pro because you’ve moved too many times to count, you’ll probably be surprised when the moving truck arrives.
But it will be better at your new place, right? Not likely, unless you like living with other people’s dirt. Truth is, most people just don’t leave their place as clean as you’d like. But where do you find the time to clean before you unpack? Your clean dishes will have to go into those cabinets with whatever crumbly things were left behind, you’ll have to put your things into dusty closets, and you can bet the floors will need a good cleaning.
Besides, shouldn’t you save your energy for all the unpacking – not to mention enjoying your new home?
