Move-In Cleaning in Abu Dhabi: Why Clean Before the Furniture Arrives
Yes, clean a new flat before the furniture arrives. An empty flat is the only time you can reach inside every cupboard, behind the appliances and along the full length of the floors and windows. Book the clean for the gap between collecting the keys and the movers, and add a pest check if the unit has been empty for a while.
What does a move-in clean cover?
• Kitchen cabinets, drawers, oven, hob and sink. • Bathrooms: tiles, grout, glass and fittings. • Floors, skirting and door frames. • Windows, balcony doors and glass. • Wardrobes and storage. Our move-in and move-out cleaning guide has the full checklist.
Why do it before the furniture?
Once the sofas, beds and appliances are in, large areas of floor and wall are covered and cleaning them means moving everything again. A clean empty flat also gives you a clear picture of its condition, which is useful to note down.
Should I add a pest check?
If the flat has been empty or was recently renovated, a pest check before moving in is sensible. Cockroaches and ants use empty units and shared risers. Your technician will confirm what to treat.
