Cleaning guide

How to prepare for a house cleaner

A practical checklist for access, priorities, pets, valuables, surfaces, and an efficient first visit.

A kitchen table with keys and a note ready for a cleaning visit

Secure private and fragile items

Put away medications, financial papers, jewelry, sentimental objects, weapons, and anything too fragile to be handled safely. A cleaning visit should never depend on guessing what is valuable.

Make access explicit

Confirm parking, gates, call boxes, keys, alarms, elevators, and how the property should be locked when the visit ends.

Explain pets and surfaces

Identify pets, where they will stay, and any door that must remain closed. Note delicate flooring, stone, wood, electronics, or product sensitivities before work starts.
