While some cleaning services can leave the house clean for you, some will not. And even they do, you likely want to clean everything for yourself. For this reason, you can hire a service to do this, something I heartily recommend if time is tight or do it yourself. If you want to do it yourself, prepare an area with all of the supplies and tools you will be need to get the job done: brooms, mops, buckets, a vacuum, and cleaners for each type of surface. Washing the cabinets, counters, and granite pipes, cleaning the carpet, etc. will make you feel comfortable in your home. And remember to keep a healthy supply of rubber gloves.

Have the Mechanical Equipment Cleaned and Serviced

Cleaning the heating and cooling system and other routine work is essential and signing a replacement contract in case the machine breaks down in the middle of winter, so you don’t have to pay too much to send a technician home. We have always had good luck asking our new neighbors which company they have found to be reputable and attentive for this work.

Change the Locks on the Exterior Doors

As soon as the lock is finished and you have the keys to the house, buy and install new locking areas or have a locksmith come and replace them. Let’s face it, previous owners, real estate agents, maintenance personnel, and who knows who else may have keys to your home. For a while, and as an important step to making this home safe, you should have new locks installed immediately.
