Want to get the most value from your cleaning service? Preparation makes a big difference.
Step 1: Declutter Surfaces
Cleaners don’t organize—they clean.
- Remove clothes, toys, papers
Step 2: Put Away Valuables
Keep important items secure.
Step 3: Communicate Priorities
Tell cleaners:
- “Focus on kitchen”
- “Skip guest room”
Step 4: Secure Pets
Keep pets safe and out of the way.
Step 5: Provide Access
Make sure they can enter easily.
What NOT to Do
❌ Don’t deep clean before they arrive
❌ Don’t worry about perfection
Pro Tip
The less clutter, the more time cleaners spend actually cleaning.
