3 Areas That Need Cleaning When You Move Into A New Home
Posted on: 24 April 2019
Moving into a new home can be exciting, but it can also come with a lot of work. When you move into a home that's been lived in prior to you purchasing it, chances are, there's some stuff left behind that you don't really want to continue living with. Here, you'll find a few things that you should have done when you first move into a new lived-in home.
Air Vent Cleaning
Many homeowners go a long time without getting their air vents cleaned out. If you've noticed a problem with allergens or odd odors coming from the vents, it's in your best interest to have the vents professionally cleaned.
Over the years, dirt, dust and mold spores will build up in those vents. Each time the heat or cool air kicks on, the contaminants in the vents become airborne and are pushed into the air in your home. Get professional air vent cleaning to eliminate those contaminants and provide the technician a chance to see if there are air leaks in the ductwork that are costing you money in energy loss.
Sewer Drains
Another hidden area that you probably won't give a second thought until it backs up and fills your home with disgusting sludge is your sewer drains. Instead of waiting for things to back up, get ahead of the game by having the sewer drains cleaned now. Then, you'll be able to schedule future cleanings based on what is found in the drains and keep up with the issue without it becoming a problem.
Carpeting
Unless the carpeting has been installed within the past several months, you will find the previous home owner's dirt each time you vacuum. Until you have the carpeting professionally cleaned, the dirt, dander, and dust that the previous owner left in the carpet will become airborne each time you walk on the carpet. A good cleaning now will kill any bacteria in the carpeting and remove the dander and dirt before it is released from the carpeting into the air.
Tip: Having the carpeting cleaned before you move in is a better option as you won't have to move any furniture to get the carpeting clean from wall to wall.
Talk with the professionals in your area to discuss scheduling the cleaning that your new home needs. In the end, you'll feel comfortable and happy with the home that you've worked hard to buy and move into.
