A new home looks spotless at handover but is coated in construction dust that keeps surfacing for weeks. These guides cover cleaning the house before you move in, a room-by-room checklist, staying ahead of the dust, and choosing gear that keeps a new home clean with less effort.
What a builder’s clean misses, the right order to clean, and dealing with dust and haze.
A practical checklist for the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and garage.
Why dust keeps resurfacing after handover and the low-effort ways to stay ahead of it.
What actually matters — suction, self-emptying, mopping and navigation — and price bands.
