Time for a Holiday Cleaning? Make It Count with These Prep Steps

Want to get the most out of your pre-holiday professional house cleaning? These basic prep steps will help your cleaners can work their magic—so you can relax and get ready to make memories in a sparkling clean home this holiday season.

Get clear on what’s covered

Some cleaning services are part of a standard booking, while others (like windows, ceiling fans, oven interiors, etc.) are considered extras, requiring additional cleaning time and added costs. Be sure to check what’s included when you book your service and make arrangements for any desired extras.

Declutter before the cleaners come 

Take a few moments to put away loose papers, piles of clothing, and other accumulated items from tabletops, counters, and other surfaces. This lets your cleaners get right to work, without having to shuffle around stacks of stuff, and minimizes any searching for misplaced items later.

Get rid of hazards

Cleaners can deep clean, disinfect, and give your home back its sparkle, but they’re not equipped to deal with hazards like clogged toilets, pet droppings, or other nasty stuff.

Create a safe and respectful working environment

Remember that your home is your cleaner’s workspace, and everyone deserves safe working conditions. That includes heating or cooling your home appropriately and keeping pets and children safely out of the way, so your cleaner can work in comfort and free of distractions.
