How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Deep Clean
Have you ever scheduled a deep cleaning for your home and wondered — what should I do now?
Hiring a professional cleaning service is an excellent way to refresh your space, but a little preparation beforehand can make the process even more efficient.
By following a few simple steps, you can ensure your cleaners can focus on what they do best—leaving your home spotless! Here’s how to get your home ready for a deep clean.
1. Declutter Common Areas
Before the cleaners arrive, take a few minutes to tidy up personal items like clothes, shoes, paperwork, and toys. While professional cleaners will take care of dusting and disinfecting, clearing surfaces and floors allows them to clean more thoroughly without obstructions.
Pro Tip: Use this opportunity to get rid of items you no longer need. A decluttered home feels even fresher after a deep clean!
2. Secure Valuables and Important Documents
If you have jewellery, important paperwork, or fragile items, it’s a good idea to store them in a safe place before the cleaning team arrives. While professional cleaners are trained to handle your belongings with care, securing valuables gives you peace of mind.
3. Communicate Your Priorities
Every home has different cleaning needs, so let your cleaning service know if there are specific areas you'd like them to focus on. Whether it's tackling stubborn bathroom mould, deep-cleaning carpets, or paying extra attention to pet-friendly zones, clear communication ensures your expectations are met.
Pro Tip: If you have pets, inform your cleaners in advance so they can use pet-friendly products.
4. Make Sure There’s Access to Water and Electricity
Deep cleaning requires access to water and power for vacuums, steam cleaners, and other equipment. Ensure your cleaners can easily reach water sources and that no power outlets are blocked by furniture.
5. Provide Cleaning Preferences (If Needed)
If you have preferences for certain cleaning products—such as eco-friendly, non-toxic, or allergy-friendly solutions—let your cleaning company know ahead of time. Many professional services, like Bray Cleaning Services, specialise in eco-friendly and pet-safe cleaning solutions!
6. Plan for Pets and Family Members
If you have pets, consider keeping them in a separate room or outdoors during the cleaning process to avoid disruptions. Similarly, if you work from home or have young children, plan for some quiet activities in an area that won’t be cleaned right away.
7. Leave Instructions for Special Areas
If there are delicate surfaces, antiques, or areas that require special care, leave a note or verbally inform your cleaners upon arrival. This helps them take the best approach while maintaining the integrity of your home.
8. Relax and Enjoy Your Fresh, Clean Home!
Once your home is prepared, all that’s left to do is sit back and let the professionals work their magic. When the cleaning is complete, you’ll be left with a fresh, spotless home—without the hassle!
