Move smart, move clean

Now more than ever we all need to tidy up our moving act. We’re not talking about the process here, as we have that down to a fine art. We’re talking about keeping everything clean.

As part of buying and selling a home, you’re expected to leave your old home in good condition. You’re right to expect the same when you move into your new home. However, people have different standards when it comes to cleaning and we all need to raise the bar. Yes, making sure there’s no Covid-19 lurking about is the main reason, but there are others too. Here they are...

Say ‘no’ to Covid-19

The microscopic nasty that has brought our country and the world to a standstill needs to be eradicated. Don’t forget to regularly wash your hands while packing and preparing to move. Use the opportunity to clean furniture and sterilize hard surfaces around the home. The virus can lurk in water droplets for up to 72 hours, but it has no defence against cleaning products.

Spring cleaning is chicken soup for the soul

Many people roll their eyes at the thought of having to do spring cleaning, but here are five reasons why you should grab a pair of rubber gloves and a mop.

1. Having a good old tidy up and disposing of clutter is proven to make people more productive.
2. The simple act of doing spring cleaning can boost your energy levels.
3. If you suffer from allergies or hay fever, getting rid of the dust helps to relieve symptoms.
4. Spring cleaning gives you a sense of satisfaction and puts you in a good mood.
5. Spring cleaning relieves stress and you don’t need more of that when moving house.

Why you should hire the pros

We all know moving can be expensive, so doing the cleaning ourselves saves us money. However, now is a great time to consider hiring the pros. Her are four reasons why.

1. Professional cleaners will do a better job.
2. Professional cleaners clean surfaces we forget, like door handles which are some of the dirtiest surfaces in the home.
3. You'll save time and effort. That’s a huge plus when you have so many other jobs to manage when moving house.
4. You’ll support a local business and provide people with work. The economy needs to reboot and anything like this you can do helps.
