Getting Ready for Your Professional Clean: A Simple Prep Guide

Getting Ready for Your Professional Clean: A Simple Prep Guide

You've scheduled your professional clean, and the cleaning crew is arriving tomorrow. Should you clean up a bit before they arrive? What about toys on the floor? Should they have access to your locked closet?

A little prep work goes a long way. At PureMaids, we partner with our customers to get the maximum value out of their cleaning services. How? More moments, less mess. A little prep work helps us deliver our best.

Why Getting Ready Helps

Professional cleaners are experts at cleaning, not organizing. We clean, sanitize, vacuum, and polish. We don't organize, declutter, or decide what to keep and what to throw away. When clutter is on top of the counters, we can't clean.

Getting ready for your clean prevents damage or loss. That expensive earring on the bathroom counter might get thrown away. Your important documents might get damaged during the bathroom counter cleaning.

Getting ready for your clean allows the cleaner to actually clean instead of moving clutter around. Cluttered counters make cleaning much harder.

Talk openly about problem areas

Every house has its challenge areas. Problem areas may vary from house to house, such as stubborn stains in the shower, a dirty oven, or carpets that are difficult to clean. Let your cleaners know about them beforehand.

We believe in open communication because it will help us provide you with better service by bringing along the right equipment.

Don’t worry about your messy house; we’ve seen it all. Your messy house is our Tuesday afternoon. We are professional cleaners, and your messy house is not a challenge to us.

Let your cleaners know about your house, such as what type of floor you have, whether you have any special pieces of furniture, or any special requirements you may have.

What Not to Do

Don’t pre-clean everything: We are professional cleaners, and you’ve hired us for a reason.

Don’t hide your messy areas: Don’t hide your messy areas in your house, thinking that we will not notice them. We will still notice them, and you will still expect us to clean them, right?

Don’t leave notes everywhere: Instead of leaving notes everywhere, it would be better if you told your cleaners what you want.

Don’t leave without telling us anything: Don’t leave your house without telling us anything, as it will be difficult for us to reach you, especially if you are hiring us for the first time.
