How to prepare for a home cleaning visit

A little planning helps your cleaning team spend more time on the priorities you care about. You do not need to clean before the cleaners arrive—these simple steps are enough.

1. Choose your priorities

Think about the areas that matter most for this visit: the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, high-touch surfaces, or a particular room. Share your priorities when you request a quote so the work can be scoped clearly.

2. Put away small and fragile items

Move loose personal items, papers, and fragile objects off the surfaces you want cleaned. Store valuables and medications somewhere secure. This helps protect your belongings and gives the team room to work.

3. Mention surfaces, products, and pets

Let the team know about delicate surfaces, product preferences, or areas that need special care. If you prefer fragrance-free or lower-odor products, ask in advance so suitable options can be discussed. If pets will be home, coordinate a safe arrangement before the visit.

4. Coordinate access privately

Agree on arrival and entry arrangements directly with the business using a suitable private method. Do not put door codes, keys, or other sensitive access details in a public message or the website quote form.

5. Confirm the scope and appointment

Before the visit, review the agreed tasks, price, and appointment time. Sending a quote request or using the online estimate does not confirm a booking; the business confirms the visit with you separately.

Need an accommodation?

Tell us about practical access or communication preferences when planning the visit—for example, mobility-related access needs, a preferred contact method, or a request to avoid a particular product. Share only the details needed to arrange the service.

Clear priorities and a confirmed plan make it easier for everyone to know what to expect. If you are unsure what to include, send a quote request and ask.
