Want to get the most value out of your professional cleaning? We explain why a quick declutter before our team arrives leads to a deeper, more effective clean.

Declutter First, Clean Better: How Tidying Up Before We Arrive Maximizes Your Clean

When you book a professional cleaning service, you're investing in getting your home's surfaces—from floors to countertops to baseboards—truly clean. But what about the clutter? While our teams are happy to tidy up, handling significant clutter can take up valuable time that could be spent on deep cleaning tasks like scrubbing and sanitizing.

Why a Pre-Clean Tidy is a Smart Move

A little bit of decluttering before we arrive goes a long way. When our cleaners can easily access all the surfaces they need to clean, they can work more efficiently and effectively. This means you get a better, deeper clean for your money.

  • Efficiency: We can spend more time on detailed cleaning rather than organizing.
  • Effectiveness: We can clean 100% of your surfaces, not just what's visible.
  • Value: You get the maximum cleaning power for the time we're in your home.

Your 15-Minute Pre-Cleaning Game Plan

You don't need to spend hours tidying up. Just a few minutes can make a huge difference:

  • Grab a laundry basket and walk through your home, picking up items that are out of place (toys, mail, clothes).
  • Clear off kitchen and bathroom countertops.
  • Put away any dishes in the sink (unless you've booked dishwashing as an add-on).
  • Ensure pets are secured and their toys or beds are out of the way.
