How to Prepare for Your First Professional Home Cleaning Service
Congratulations! You’ve just taken the first step toward a cleaner, more peaceful home by hiring a professional cleaning service. At Best Ever Cleaning, we want your first time to be seamless and stress-free, so we’ve compiled a short list of ways to prepare.
Communicate Your Needs:
For you to get the most out of your experience, make sure your cleaning team knows about any specific requests, problem areas, or preferences. If you’re working with Best Ever Cleaning, we complete a walkthrough with you prior to your first cleaning service to address your preferences and tailor our service to your needs.
Declutter Surfaces and Floors:
While our team is happy to clean around your belongings, removing excess clutter allows us to spend more time focusing on the details. Clearing countertops, picking up toys, and ensuring that floors are free of clothes, shoes, and other items allows our cleaners to do the job thoroughly and efficiently.
Secure Fragile or Valuable Items:
Although our team is trained to handle your home with care, accidents can happen. To protect your most precious items, we recommend storing fragile items and valuables in a safe place before your appointment. For fragile items you choose not to move, please notify your team so we can use extra caution around them.
Decide Whether to Stay In or Step Out:
Think about whether you’d prefer to be home during the cleaning or step out while we work. Many clients chose to leave so they can return to a spotless home, but it’s entirely up to you. If you stay, we may need to access certain rooms, so plan accordingly.
Ensure Easy Access:
Make sure your cleaning team can easily access your home. If you won’t be home during the service, provide detailed instructions on how to enter (e.g., key codes, lock boxes, or a spare key). Clear any obstacles from driveways or walkways.
Prepare Pets:
If you have pets, consider how they’ll interact with the cleaning process. Some clients prefer to keep pets in a separate room or crate to avoid distractions or stress. Let us know if there are any pet-related concerns so we can accommodate them.
Relax and Enjoy the Results:
Once your home is prepped, it’s time to sit back and let the professionals take care of the hard work! You can look forward to walking into a fresh, clean space that feels like new.
At Best Ever Cleaning, our goal is to make every cleaning service as smooth and satisfying as possible. With these simple steps, your first professional home cleaning experience will be off to a great start. If you’re ready to schedule your first cleaning, click here to book your appointment!
