How to Prepare Your Home Before Your Professional Cleaning Service

How to Prepare Your Home Before Your Professional Cleaning Service

When you hire a professional maid service, you want the technicians spending 100% of their time scrubbing, sanitizing, and polishing—not organizing loose items.

Simple Pre-Cleaning Steps

• **Pick Up Floor Clutter:** Put away shoes, toys, clothes, and loose items so technicians have immediate access to vacuum and mop floor space.

• **Clear Kitchen Countertops:** Clear off dishes or food mail so counters can be scrubbed clean and disinfected immediately.

• **Secure Pets:** To keep pets calm and prevent accidental escapes during door entries, secure pets in a dedicated bedroom, crate, or backyard space.

• **Communicate Priorities:** If there's a specific area you'd like extra focus on (such as master bath glass or stove top reset), leave a note or communicate online!

Following these brief steps maximizes the efficiency of your cleaning crew and yields superior results every time.
