Cleaning your old and new spaces

Before you start the difficult task of cleaning your home, review these overall suggestions:

 

 

• Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the drying effects of water and cleansers.
• Have plenty of extra rags on hand. An old, torn up T-shirt works well.
• Gather all of your cleaning supplies and rags and put them in one bucket or carryall with a handle. This will ensure you have what you need at all times.
• Sprinkle baking soda on carpet overnight and vacuum in the morning to give the room a fresh smell.
• Always clean a room from top to bottom.

Finally, relax. You've spent weeks or even months preparing for this event, and all your hard work is sure to pay off in a smoother, simpler move.
