How To Get The Most Out Of Your House Cleaning Company.

Today, we’ll discuss four things you can do to get the most out of your standard house cleaning service, including what to do before the cleaners arrive and proper etiquette for communicating your expectations. By taking these steps to prepare your home, your cleaners will be able to do the best job possible – which means a cleaner home and better bang for your buck.

1.Remove Clutter and Tidy Up

Before your team arrives for your scheduled cleaning, please remove clutter so we can effectively clean all surfaces – this includes clothing, kids’ toys, and dishes in the kitchen sink. It is not necessary to remove any appliances from your counter tops. It will save your cleaners tons of time if they are not having to pick up clutter to clean underneath.

2. Clearly communicate your priorities

While you don’t want to micromanage every aspect of the cleaner’s job, it’s a good idea to outline what you expect from their services. Prioritize what you want to be cleaned during the hours we will be there. For example, if you want the entire main floor cleaned, should the cleaner focus on vacuuming the carpets, mopping the floors, dusting the floorboards, or cleaning certain objects and surfaces? Are bathrooms and kitchen your main priority?

3. Provide Special Instructions for Pets

If you have pets, tell the house cleaning company about them in advance. You don’t want your cleaners to be caught off guard by your pooch (or vice versa). Plus, telling the house cleaning company about your pets ahead of time ensures they’ll bring any special equipment they use to tackle fur and pet-related messes.

In addition to stating how many pets you have and what species they are, let the cleaners know if and where your pets will be confined and if there are special instructions for interacting with them. It's good to know if pets can go outside for bathroom breaks as well.

What to Do After the First House Cleaning Session is Over

Now that the cleaners have come, done their job, and left your home sparkling, what’s next? After your first experience with a new house cleaning company, we recommend calling or sending an email to follow-up – especially if you plan to hire them again in the future. Take this opportunity to ask if you can do anything differently next time to make their job easier. Communicate what they did well (everyone likes getting compliments!) and what they missed, if anything. You should also let the cleaners know if your priorities shift after the first session or two.
