I don't understand why you think this is odd.
Doesn't everybody deep clean a house when they first move in?
I'm serious.

Not to the extent of polishing the light-fittings
I just employed some builders to put the roof back up. After that, everthing needed cleaning anyway.

yes to the extent
of polishing the light fittings. Frankly, I'd find it odd if people didn't. Surely you want to start from a sterile base?

I spray dettol over everything
if it turns black with dust it gets wiped down. If I eat off it or particularly near it it gets wiped down.
Anywhere near where I clean is cleaned
Anywhere near where I sleep is cleaned
Insect-sized holes sealed up, regardless of the function they serve.
Toilet gets a thorough clean
Windows get wiped

That's about it for me. After 6 months I've still not got round to tidying or cleaning out the cupboard in my flat as it doesn't meet any of the criteria set out above and I'm lazy. I've not even been in it for 4 months- it'd probably a bloody huge wasps nest or something by now...
