Cleaning a new home in Duqm before you move in is worth doing properly. Even a freshly built or recently vacated apartment can hold construction dust, leftover materials and wind-blown sand. This guide sets out the order of work so you start in a clean, ready space.

Why a quick wipe is not enough

A new home is not automatically a clean one. Fine dust settles on shelves, inside cupboards and around air-conditioning vents, and paint, adhesive or sticker residue is common on glass and floors. In Duqm, dust and sand also enter easily whenever doors and windows are opened, so dust can return if the work is done in the wrong order.

The right order for cleaning a new home

1. Finish all repairs, painting and fitting work before the final clean.
2. Clean from top to bottom: ceilings, fans and lights, then walls, then floors.
3. Clean inside cupboards and drawers before storing anything.
4. Clean windows, glass doors and their tracks.
5. Do the final floor clean last, once everything above is finished.

Kitchen and bathrooms

Start with worktops, sinks and the inside of cupboards, then built-in appliances. In bathrooms, focus on grout lines, drains and any residue from fitting work. If the kitchen still carries traces of installation, professional kitchen cleaning can help at the final stage.

Windows and glass

New-home glass often needs stickers and construction marks removed before normal wiping. Our window cleaning service reaches glass doors and larger panes safely and leaves them clear.

Which service fits your situation?

If the building was only just completed, see our post-construction cleaning guide for Duqm and consider post-construction cleaning. If someone lived there before, move-in and move-out cleaning is usually the better match. When you want a fuller reset, we recommend deep cleaning, followed by pest control before furniture goes in. You can see all of this on our Duqm cleaning services page.

Quick checklist before the furniture arrives

• Dust on shelves, cupboards and air-conditioning vents.
• Floors, corners and thresholds.
• Kitchen, bathrooms and drains.
• Windows, glass doors and tracks.
• Any signs of insects.

Tips for a smoother move-in

• Book the survey before your move date, not the day before.
• Ask for the cleaning to be done before deliveries and furniture are placed.
• Keep one contact person for access and keys.
• Keep doors and windows closed on windy days after cleaning.

What affects the cost

Cost depends on the size of the home, the number of rooms, its condition, how much construction residue remains, the number of windows and any extra services. We do not publish general prices. After the survey we send a clear quote.

Frequently asked questions

Should I clean a new home before or after the furniture arrives?

Before is better, because floors, cupboards and corners are much easier to reach when the space is empty.

Do I need post-construction cleaning or move-in cleaning?

If construction and paint residue remain, post-construction cleaning is more suitable. If the home was lived in before, move-in cleaning is usually enough. The survey decides which fits.
