The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we realize that once you’re packed up all of your belongings and moved them to your new home, the job of unpacking begins. Your first choice is to hire someone else to do it. But let’s face it, most of us either can’t, or don’t want to, pay for that. Begin with cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen. These rooms tend to harbor the most grime and germs. Clean from the top down. Using a broom, mop, rag… whatever your choice may be, wipe down your ceilings, walls, switch covers, light fixtures, and baseboards. Next move to your cabinets and counters. Then use a vacuum hose attachment to suck up dirt and crumbs inside cabinetry. Next, using your go-to cleaning solution (like vinegar, but some prefer bleach water), wipe down all those cabinets and counter-tops. Last, but not least, use a disinfecting solution to mop your floors. Once finished with the bathrooms and kitchen, move to the “easier” rooms. Once again, wipe down the ceiling, walls, switch plates, and light fixtures. Then move to the floors. If your new home has carpeting, consider having it professionally cleaned. Clean solid surface flooring according to material care instructions. Check out below to see what sold in The Townes at Liberty Park in November 2018:

If the home has existing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, check to see how old they are. Manufacturers are required to print the unit production date on detectors. Check the date on all of your detectors. If the unit is over 10 years old, replace it. If it’s under 10 years old, make sure, at the very least, to replace the batteries. Also, don’t forget about fire extinguishers. Every home should have at least functioning fire extinguisher on every floor.
