How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional House Cleaning

You don't need to clean before the cleaners come, but a few minutes of prep helps them spend their time on what matters most.

Pick Up the Clutter

Put away clothes, toys, mail and dishes so cleaners can reach counters, floors and surfaces.

Tell Us Your Priorities

Leave a note about areas that need extra attention, or anything to skip. You can add notes when you book online.

Plan for Pets

Let us know about pets when you book, and keep anxious pets in a closed room or crate during the clean.

Access

You don't need to be home. Many clients leave a key, lockbox, door code or garage code.

Valuables and Fragile Items

Put away jewelry, cash and anything very fragile or sentimental.

After the Clean

Walk through the home. If anything on the checklist was missed, tell us within 24 hours for a free touch-up. See what's included on our cleaning checklist.
