Expecting a Baby? Here’s How to Get Your Home Ready with a Deep Cleaning

Welcoming a baby is one of life’s most exciting moments. But between prepping the nursery, packing the hospital bag, and attending doctor visits, there’s one important task that often gets overlooked: a thorough home cleaning.

Your newborn will spend most of their time at home, and creating a clean, safe environment is one of the best ways to protect their health from day one.


Why is a clean home so important before your baby arrives?

A baby’s skin and immune system are extremely sensitive. Dust, mold, pet hair, chemical residues, and allergens can cause:

  • Respiratory allergies
  • Sneezing or itching
  • Skin irritation
  • Risk of infections

That’s why professional home cleaning isn’t just a luxury — it’s an essential step in preparing for a healthy and safe homecoming.


Regular cleaning vs. professional deep cleaning: what’s the difference?

Many expectant parents rely on routine cleaning to get their home ready — but during pregnancy, especially in the final trimester, professional deep cleaning makes a real difference. Here’s how they compare:

Regular Cleaning (DIY)Prime Group Professional Cleaning
Removes visible dirtEliminates hidden dirt, dust mites, and allergens
Uses store-bought productsCan use non-toxic, baby-safe products upon request
Focuses on visible surfacesCleans baseboards, corners, fans, and vents
Time-consuming and tiringQuick, efficient, and no stress for the mom-to-be

What should be cleaned before the baby arrives?

Pre-baby cleaning should focus on the areas that often go unnoticed but can collect dirt and bacteria. Here’s a helpful checklist:

👶 Baby’s Room

  • Walls, ceiling, and baseboards
  • Blinds and curtains
  • Closets and drawers (even if brand new)
  • Crib and mattress

🛁 Bathroom

  • Deep clean tiles and grout
  • Wash or replace shower curtains
  • Sanitize drains and toilet areas

🛋️ Living Areas

  • Upholstery and rugs
  • Ceiling fans and air vents
  • Doors, switches, and handles

🧴 Kitchen

  • Inside cabinets and drawers
  • Fridge, microwave, and oven
  • Floor and backsplash sanitization

Be mindful of cleaning products: choose baby-safe options

During pregnancy and early newborn life, many families prefer to avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or strong artificial fragrances.

At Prime Group Cleaning, we offer the option to use non-toxic and biodegradable products — perfect for families looking for extra safety and peace of mind.
This can be requested when scheduling your service and is a great choice for homes with pets, allergies, or newborns.


🗓️ Pro tip: schedule your cleaning before the baby arrives

The ideal time to book a deep cleaning is between weeks 30 and 36 of pregnancy. That gives you enough time to finish the nursery, sterilize essentials, and enjoy the final weeks with less stress.
