A tidy house is a peaceful place to relax and wind down. Unfortunately, someone has to clean it to make it that way. Hiring a professional cleaning service can help you achieve at-home serenity so that you can focus on work, family, or hobbies. Before the professional cleaner comes over, here are a few tasks you should complete to make the process smoother and more efficient.

Do You Need to Preclean?

Doing some light prep work benefits both you and the cleaning service. First, your professional cleaner will be able to conduct a deeper scouring of the house. They won’t spend time navigating around objects; instead, they can get right to scrubbing and vacuuming. If there are valuable or fragile items in the way, the cleaner might not feel comfortable moving them. This means the surrounding area won’t be spotless, and you’ll have to do that chore yourself.

What Should You Organize?

Tidy floors and countertops by clearing toys, knickknacks, and other objects before the cleaning service arrives. Put away out-of-place items like hair and makeup products in the bathroom, piles of laundry in the basement, or mail on the kitchen table. Pay special attention to the kitchen. Unless otherwise negotiated, your cleaner won’t do your dishes or scrub down major, caked-up messes. Load the dishwasher and clear the stove from breakfast.

What About Pets?

Ensure pets and their toys are out of the way before the cleaning service arrives. Dog hair on the stairs will get vacuumed, but most professional cleaners don’t clean up accidents or toys.
