Cleaning Supplies Checklist for Moving House

Core tools

• Vacuum with suitable floor head, crevice tool, spare bag or emptied container, and accessible charging cable if required.
• Microfibre or other suitable cloths separated by task, non-scratch sponges, a small detailing brush, and a duster.
• Bucket, mop suitable for the floor finish, dustpan and brush, broom where appropriate, and a floor-warning option.
• Rubbish and recycling bags, paper or reusable towels where suitable, and a caddy that keeps products upright.
• Gloves and any protective equipment required by product instructions, plus closed footwear with reliable grip.
• Step access only if it is stable, suitable, permitted, and can be used safely; otherwise leave high work to an equipped provider.

Choose products by surface and task

• A suitable general surface cleaner rather than one assumed safe for every material.
• Kitchen degreaser, bathroom product, glass product, and toilet product only where labels and surfaces allow.
• Floor product specifically suitable for the timber, laminate, tile, vinyl, stone, or other finish present.
• Dishwashing liquid or mild option for appropriate tasks, plus plain clean water for rinsing where directed.
• Manufacturer-approved appliance products if you are cleaning an oven or specialist finish yourself.

Pack a final-clean exit box

1. Step 1

   Keep essentials separate

   Do not load the vacuum, cloths, bags, gloves, mop, and final products onto the truck too early.

2. Step 2

   Retain labels

   Keep products in original containers and never decant them into drink bottles or unmarked packaging.

3. Step 3

   Transport safely

   Close lids, keep products upright, separate incompatible items as labels direct, and keep them away from food, children, and pets.

4. Step 4

   Remove everything

   At the end, take products, dirty cloths, waste, and the caddy with you; do not leave an unlabelled chemical behind.
