Moving in the DMV: Essential Checklist for Your New House or Apartment

Smart Move-In Guide

5 Quick Tips for a Flawless Transition

Kitchen Tip

The Pantry Check

  • • Vacuum the corners of shelves to remove old tenant dust before storing plates or food.
  • Pro Tip: Strip old adhesive drawer liners immediately; they trap moisture and attract pests.
Appliance Tip

Reset Your Appliances

  • • Invisible grease vapor thickens along refrigerator rubber seals and behind the stove range hood.
  • Pro Tip: Run an empty, high-heat sanitizing cycle with a specialized cleaner through the dishwasher first.
Bathroom Tip

Eliminate Biological Scale

  • • Standard sprays just mask old residues on tiles, grout lines, and shower glass fixtures.
  • Pro Tip: Use a dedicated scale remover on shower glass doors to immediately restore crystal-clear hotel clarity.
Air & Floors Tip

Erase Airborne Dust

  • • Moving boxes kicks up immense dust that settles on light switches, window sills, and door frames.
  • Pro Tip: Vacuum air vent grates thoroughly before turning on the AC to prevent dust recalculation.
