How to Prep Your Home Before Your Cleaner Arrives

A few quick things you can do before a cleaning visit to get the best results — and no, you don't need to clean first.

You do NOT need to clean before the cleaner comes — that's our job. But a few minutes of prep helps us spend our time on deep cleaning instead of tidying, so you get more value from every visit.

Quick things that help

  • Pick up clutter, toys, and clothes off floors and surfaces
  • Clear off counters where you'd like us to clean
  • Put away or point out any fragile or valuable items
  • Let us know your priority areas or any problem spots
  • Secure pets somewhere comfortable if needed
  • Share any special requests or products you'd like us to use

What you don't need to do

  • Don't pre-scrub anything — leave the actual cleaning to us
  • Don't stress about a little mess; we've seen it all
  • Don't feel you have to hide everything away

That's it. A quick tidy of surface clutter is all it takes to get the most out of your cleaning — then sit back and enjoy a spotless home.
