Hiring a house cleaner should make life easier, not create a list of pre-cleaning chores. You do not need to clean your house before your cleaner arrives!
The Best Way to Prepare: Pick Up Clutter
15 to 30 minutes of tidying up personal items gives your cleaner direct access to countertops, floors, and tables.
- Pick up clothes, shoes, toys, and papers from floors.
- Put away cash, delicate jewelry, or fragile heirlooms.
- Ensure clear gate codes, door codes, or entry instructions.
- Secure pets comfortably in a dedicated room or crate.
- Put away dishes so sinks and countertops are accessible for cleaning.
