How to Prepare for a House Clean

A little preparation means the time you have booked goes on cleaning rather than moving things around. This is what helps most.

Clear the way

  • Pick up clothes, toys, post and paperwork from floors and surfaces
  • Put away valuables, jewellery and anything fragile or precious
  • Clear the sink and worktops of dirty dishes where you can
  • Put laundry in baskets so surfaces are free

Tell us what matters

  • Which rooms you most want us to focus on
  • Anything you would like left alone
  • Pets in the home, and any allergies or products to avoid
  • Surfaces that need special care, such as stone, wood or delicate finishes

Sort the practical details

  • How we will get into the house
  • Where we can park
  • Whether beds should be changed, and where the fresh linen is
  • Alarm codes or anything else we should know about

What you do not need to do

  • Buy cleaning products, because we bring our own
  • Find a vacuum or mop, because we bring our own equipment
  • Tidy everything first, because a clean goes much faster with surfaces clear, but we do not expect a spotless house
