How to Prepare for Your Professional Cleaning Service
A little preparation goes a long way! Here's how to get the most out of yourprofessional cleaning appointment.
Pro Tip: You don't need to clean before the cleaners come! But a few simple steps help us focus on deep cleaning instead of tidying up.
Before the Cleaning Team Arrives
1. Declutter Surfaces
The more surfaces are clear, the more we can clean! Consider putting away:
- • Mail and papers on counters
- • Toys scattered on floors
- • Clothes on furniture
- • Personal items on bathroom counters
2. Secure Valuables
While our cleaners are thoroughly vetted and background-checked, it's always wise to:
- • Put away jewelry, cash, and important documents
- • Secure medications in a cabinet
- • Note the location of any breakable heirlooms
3. Handle the Dishes
Standard cleaning doesn't typically include washing dishes. If you'd like clean counters and a sanitized sink, load the dishwasher or clear the sink beforehand. Let us know if you'd like dish washing as an add-on service!
4. Prepare Your Pets
We love pets! But for their comfort and our team's safety:
- • Let us know about pets when booking
- • Secure anxious or aggressive pets in a safe room
- • Inform us if doors need to stay closed
- • Note any pet areas that need special attention
5. Provide Access Information
Make sure we can get in! When booking, let us know:
- • Will you be home, or should we use a lockbox/code?
- • Any gate codes or building access requirements
- • Parking instructions
- • Where to find cleaning supplies (if you prefer we use yours)
What You Don't Need to Do
- • Don't pre-clean: That's what we're here for!
- • Don't move furniture: We handle it
- • Don't buy supplies: We bring everything (unless you prefer otherwise)
- • Don't stress about the mess: We've seen it all!
Communicate Your Priorities
Every home is different! When booking or before we arrive, let us know:
- • Any areas that need extra attention
- • Rooms or items to avoid
- • Allergies or sensitivities to products
- • If you prefer eco-friendly/pet-safe products
- • Any special instructions for your home
After the Cleaning
We want you to be 100% satisfied! After your cleaning:
- • Do a walk-through while we're still there
- • Let us know immediately if something was missed
- • Leave a review if you're happy—we appreciate it!
