Preparing for your House Cleaning Company

While it’s never necessary to “clean before the cleaning” - often we’re asked what you can do ahead of time to best prepare your home for an upcoming cleaning service. Here are a few helpful tips, let us know if you have anything to add :)

Declutter and tidy up

Before the cleaning crew arrives, take some time to declutter and tidy up your home. This will make it easier for the cleaners to focus on the actual cleaning and not spend time picking up cluttered areas of the home. Put away any clothes, toys, or other items that are lying around, and clear surfaces like counters and tables.

Communicate your expectations

Communicate your expectations with the cleaning crew before arrival. In advance of your appointment, let them know which areas of your home you would like extra focus on, and if there are any specific cleaning products/solutions or tools that you would like them to use. This will ensure that everyone is on the same page and that you are satisfied with your service!

Secure valuables and fragile items

Accidents happen! While everyone is as careful as possible, we ask that if you have any fragile items in your home, be sure to secure them before the team arrives. This will prevent any accidental damage or breakage to sentimental items during the actual cleaning process.

Provide clear access instructions for your home

Make sure your cleaning company has easy access to your home. If you have a security system or locked gates, provide all of the necessary codes or keys in advance to enter your home. This will ensure that the cleaning crew can start cleaning your home without any delays or access issues.

Prepare your pets

If you have pets, be sure to prepare them for your cleaning crew’s arrival. Put them in a separate room or outside in the yard to prevent them from getting in the way of the cleaning process. This will also prevent any accidental injuries to your pets or the cleaners.

Preparing for your house cleaning company can help ensure that the cleaning process goes smoothly and that you are satisfied with your service. By decluttering and tidying up, communicating your expectations, securing fragile items, ensuring easy access to your home, and preparing your pets, you can help create a stress-free and efficient cleaning experience for both you and the crew :)
