How to Prepare for Your First Professional House Cleaning Experience
One of the many reasons why homeowners look to hire a professional house cleaning service is owed to their busy day-to-day schedules. For most working individuals, trying to balance the responsibilities of managing a career and taking care of kids along with the household can be rather stressful and overwhelming, to say the least. The services of a cleaning professional can help solve this problem by maintaining the spick and span home you desire without having to take time away from your family and job.
So, establishing the fact that you need a professional maid service is the first step; the second is to find a trusted and reliable one to hire, and the third being to prepare for your house cleaner. In this article, we are sharing what is expected of clients to do in order to help the cleaner provide a satisfactory cleaning experience.
From a couple of must-dos, to treating your house cleaner with respect; here is everything you need to know about being fully prepared for your first house cleaning service by a professional maid.
1. ACCESS TO THE PROPERITY
Make sure an adult is home to open the door.
Also you have multiple options for providing Sofy’s Cleaning Services LLC access to your home: The most convenient method is to leave a key to your residence to us. Your key will be kept safe and secure in our key safe. All keys are coded for security and will never have your name or address attached to them. If you have an alarm system, please give access instructions to us.
2. ACCESS SERVICES AND UTILITIES
Make sure you have basic services such as water, electricity and rubbish bins on the day of the service, especially when you hire a Move In/Out Cleaning Service.
3. REMOVE CLOTHES AND CLUTTER
Please be sure to remove clothes and clutter from the floor or from the surfaces that will be cleaned. Each of our teams bring their own cleaning supplies and equipment. They will thoroughly clean your home based on the cleaning package you choose.
4. CLEAR AWAY DIRTY DISHES AND FOOD MESSES
Unless otherwise specified, Washing and putting away your dirty dishes will make it much easier for your pro to clean your sink and the surrounding areas. Plus, once everything’s all sparkling clean, you won’t have any additional chores to worry about.
5. KEEP KIDS AND PETS OCCUPIED
It can be rather difficult and distracting to clean a home when there are kids and pets running around or getting in the way. More importantly, it can be dangerous if there are heavy, electrical appliances being used such as a vacuum cleaner or steam carpet cleaner. There will also be wires lying across the floor which your children can trip on if they are playing a game of ‘tag’!
The best way to keep your kids and pets away from the cleaning tools and products is to keep them occupied. Perhaps, they could play in the yard or in a bedroom which your house cleaner can clean last so that they are safe and out of the way while the rest of your home is being cleaned.
06. AVOID OVER-THE-TOP EXPECTATIONS
When you’re hiring a cleaning service, you’ll usually have to choose between a Standard Cleaning versus a Deep Cleaning or Move In/Out Cleaning. Each has a set of basic tasks the house cleaner will cover. If you have anything extra in mind, be sure to communicate that—and prepare for any fees that might follow. Expecting more than what you’re paying for, or more than what was agreed to, might get messy.
