Inviting a professional cleaner into your home can be both a transformative and vulnerable decision. For many, the decision is not as simple as upgrading their cleaning game, but also about trusting a stranger with their most personal space. Whether you’re looking to maximize the value for your money or feeling anxious about the process (or a bit of both), a little preparation can help.
At Chloe’s Cleaning Company, with years of service in the Denver area, we’ve gathered insights on how homeowners can best prepare for our arrival. This guide aims to set the stage for a smooth and efficient cleaning session, putting both your mind and home at ease.
1. Declutter Your Space
Before the cleaning begins, take a moment to declutter your living areas. Put away toys, clothes, and personal items. This doesn’t mean you need to organize everything perfectly, but clearing out the main clutter allows the cleaner to focus on cleaning rather than organizing.
2. Secure Valuables and Sensitive Items
While professional cleaning companies like ours place a high emphasis on thoroughly vetting cleaners that prioritize trust and integrity, it’s never a bad idea to secure any valuables or sensitive items. This not only ensures their safety but also gives you peace of mind during the cleaning process.
3. Make a Priority List
If there are specific areas or items in your home that need extra attention, let your cleaner know. Whether it’s a stain on the living room carpet or a buildup of grime in the bathroom tiles, a priority list can help guide the cleaning process to meet your specific needs.
4. Keep Pets in Mind
If you have pets, consider their comfort and safety. Inform the cleaning company ahead of time about any pets in the home. It might be best to secure them in a specific room or crate prior to the cleaning company arriving. Many also simply make arrangements for their pets to be elsewhere during the cleaning.
5. Provide Access
If you won’t be home during the cleaning, coordinate with the cleaning service and make sure the cleaner has a way to access your home. Whether it’s a spare key, a code, or a neighbor who can let them in, clearly communicate in order to avoid mishaps and confusion.
6. Point Out Any Broken Items
Before the cleaning starts, let the cleaner know if anything is broken or not working correctly. This helps the cleaning service navigate possible misunderstandings and potential cleaning obstacles or roadblocks by being able to plan around dysfunction in advance.
7. Stock Up on Preferred Products
While most professional cleaning companies bring their own supplies, you can request them to use specific products you are willing to supply. If you have specific products you’d like them to use, make sure they’re available and let the cleaner know before they begin.
8. Clear the Kitchen and Bathroom Sinks
If you have dishes in the kitchen sink or items cluttering the bathroom sink, try to clear these areas. It makes it easier for the cleaner to get right to work on more specialized tasks, making sure these frequently used spaces are sanitized and sparkling.
9. Provide Feedback
After the cleaning session, take a moment to provide feedback. Whether it’s something you loved or an area you think could use improvement, your insights help the cleaning company achieve the best possible service in the future.
