Planning
Decide what needs attention
Walk through your home and note the rooms that need the most attention. Separate everyday upkeep from heavier tasks such as appliance interiors or built-up bathroom grime. Share that list when requesting an estimate so the scope can be discussed before the visit.
Clear surfaces, not the whole house
You do not need to deep clean before a cleaning visit. Putting away paperwork, toys, clothes, and dishes simply makes surfaces easier to reach. Set aside valuables and fragile items, and mention any furniture or finishes that require particular care.
Plan access and household details
Confirm parking, gates, apartment entry, and any building requirements. Arrange a comfortable place for pets during the visit. Discuss allergies and products you want used or avoided, and confirm access arrangements directly with the team rather than leaving sensitive codes in public notes.
Confirm your plan
Ask which tasks are included, which extras can be discussed, and how timing will work. A room-by-room checklist is a useful starting point, but your estimate and agreed scope determine the actual visit.
