We all know that a weekly house clean from a skilled and professional cleaner can save you time and effort and make life a little easier. But that doesn’t mean you should leave everything to the professionals. You can get more out of your cleaning service by adequately preparing your home before your cleaner arrives. Set your weekly cleaner up for success with our five simple tips.

Tidy your floors

Pick up children’s toys, shoes, and clothes from the lounge and bedroom floors and put them away. This quick tidy means your cleaner can start sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping without first clearing the floor. If you leave your bed unmade and sheets on the floor, your cleaner may assume you want them washed. However, if that isn’t the case, then be sure to make your bed on your scheduled cleaning day. 

Keep your personal papers and other items safe and secure by clearing them off your kitchen counter or island. Your cleaner can clean and disinfect these surfaces without moving your documents or items. Remember that the more time your cleaner has to spend moving items, the less time they’ll have to clean your home. Be sure to check that your bathroom counters are also clear of clutter, such as makeup or toiletries, to clean the surface quickly. 

Clear your counters

Keep valuables and personal documents safely tucked away

We take great care to screen our cleaners with an extensive background check before they begin working. However, just to be safe, we recommend putting away and securing any sentimental valuables or important documents you don’t want anyone to see. 

Secure your pets

If you have a very friendly or energetic dog, you may want to consider putting them in a contained indoor or outdoor area during cleaning so the cleaner is not responsible at all. Your cleaner can then deliver a professional service without worrying about your pet getting in the way, walking on wet floors or being a distraction. 

Communicate with your cleaner

A never-fail tip is effective communication with your cleaner to get the most out of your house clean. Our skilled cleaners provide a professional and tailored service and will clean your house however you prefer. We offer an initial consultation to understand what services you want our cleaners to complete in your home. However, we know that life and your circumstances change, so our cleaners are happy to adjust their cleaning routine at any time.
