Moving into a new flat is exciting and exhausting in equal measure. Between the society paperwork, the packers and the internet connection, it is easy to forget the jobs that are only easy while the flat is empty. Whether it is a new possession in Noida Extension or Dwarka Expressway, or a rented flat in Indirapuram, here is the order that saves the most time and money.
1. Clean it while it is empty
New possessions are dusty in a particular way: cement splashes on tiles, paint drops on windows and fittings, and fine dust in every window channel and kitchen drawer. Rented flats come with the last tenant's kitchen grease and bathroom scale. Either way, an empty-home deep clean is the job to book: every surface is reachable, nothing has to be moved, and it is priced lower than a furnished clean.
A 2BHK empty-home deep clean is ₹3,699, against ₹4,199 for the same flat furnished. It covers floors machine-scrubbed, kitchen and bathroom tiles, fittings, windows, grills, doors and balconies.
2. Treat for pests before the boxes come in
Cardboard cartons are one of the most common ways cockroaches travel between homes. Treating the flat before you move in means the gel goes into empty cabinets and along bare skirting, which is faster and more thorough than working around your things later. In older buildings, ask for a termite check of the door frames and wooden fittings at the same time.
General pest control for a 2BHK is ₹1,399, with a free follow-up within 30 days if pests come back.
3. Get the water tank cleaned
Nobody knows when the tank was last cleaned, and in many societies it is the first thing new residents never think about. An overhead tank clean starts From ₹699, with before-and-after photos sent on WhatsApp.
4. Or book all three together
The Move-in Ready Pack bundles an empty-home deep clean, general pest control and one overhead tank clean (up to 1,000 L) in one booking: ₹4,999 for a 2BHK, including GST. The team plans the order for you: pest treatment and cleaning first, the tank on the same day where possible.
5. The society side
- Gate pass and work hours: most societies in Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad allow work only in set hours and need the team's details in advance. Tell us your society when you book and we coordinate with the facility desk.
- Lift booking: if the packers need the service lift, book it separately from the cleaning slot.
- Water and electricity: make sure both are on for the cleaning day; the team brings its own machines and products.
A simple timeline
- Possession or keys: check that painting and carpentry are finished.
- 3 to 5 days before moving: deep clean and pest treatment.
- 1 to 2 days before: water tank clean, so the first water you use is clean.
- Moving day: boxes in, and a quick wipe of the kitchen before you unpack food.
