Relocating to another home or office is a complex process, and it takes some serious organizing. Whether you’re relocating long-distance or inside the Chicago area, you’re still going to have a lot of work to do. We’re not saying that moving to Glenview from Highland Park is the same as moving cross-state, but it’s a change either way. However, being in the middle of the world pandemic of coronavirus, even relocating takes a different dimension.
Are we being safe enough? How sanitary can we get with our relocation? What are the best ways to clean our belongings while packing, and how should we clean the place in which we are moving? Cleaning is one of the essential parts of relocation, along with organizing and packing, especially with the pandemic around. Here are some tips on cleaning!
Why Clean?
Any place you are moving to, whether it’s a brand new office or a home, needs a good cleaning. There are a few – obvious or not so obvious – reasons for it:
- Dirt, dust, and grime settle everywhere, whether it’s a brand new space or someone used to spend time in it.
- Cleaning the new space will give you satisfaction and a sense of achievement, and it will provide you with a ‘clean slate’ to put in the furniture.
- Not only cleaning is desirable – in the case of COVID-19 pandemic, but it is also necessary. The germs can stick on the surfaces even for days, and that’s why it’s crucial to sanitize the space before moving in, as well as moving out (to leave the space clean for the new people).
How to Clean Effectively?
Wiping the dust and surfaces, even though they seem like a no-brainer, are often oversaw, especially the order in which we should do it. Make sure to clean top to bottom for your convenience. Also, clean the new space before your Chicago moving company arrives. The most important part is sanitization – cleaning all the surfaces one can touch with disinfectant, even during the packing process is a must. Make sure to leave the windows, doorknobs, even furniture – essentially, all the surfaces people can touch – disinfected. Entering a new life chapter fresh and clean – isn’t there a better feeling? Happy move!
