Relax in your home office while cleaners are in home cleaning

Now that many people are working from home, there will be more people who are working from home when their cleaners arrive. This makes being ready for cleaners a little more tricky, especially if you have trouble keeping your house clean on a regular basis. 

As we know, the best way to make sure you receive the most reliable cleaning in Fort Collins is to work with the professionals. That being said, even working with a reputable company on a recurring basis, will still leave you with some prep work to do beforehand.

To get you ready for your next house cleaning while you work from home, keep reading on!

Should I clean up before cleaners arrive?

In addition to all the benefits of a clean home, a consistently clean home will allow you to work from home much better.  Similar to cleaning your home for house guests or preparing for a party, getting your home prepped, especially when working from home is very important. 

Some important things to consider doing before your next scheduled cleaning:

  • Put away dishes and any excess clutter that has built up from being home throughout the day
  • Put away any animals as you would if you were going to be away at work as normal 
  • Clean up kids toys
  • Plan to be in your office while the cleaners are in your home

By doing these simple things, your cleaning professionals will be able to more easily and effectively maneuver throughout your home, resulting in a higher quality cleaning.  Due to the nature of the current Covid19 pandemic, staying in your office during the cleaning is the safest way to minimize interaction between people, and maintain physical distancing as best we can. 

Should I stay in my office during the cleaning?

While it is always nice to interact with your cleaners, during this time it is best to give extra distance for safety.  Professional cleaners are very capable of moving around your home, and will be able to work more effectively and safely, while you stay working in your home office. 

Should I leave out cleaning supplies?

While we supply all natural and safe cleaning supplies, we do request to use certain tools at this time to reduce any risk of spreading germs or bacteria.  Vacuum cleaners and toilet brushes should be left out for the cleaner to use when available, and rags and microfiber cloths are helpful as well. 

Since working from home gives you some added flexibility and time throughout your day, if you do not want to be home during your cleaning, consider making a stop at The Center for Fine Art Photography to check out the latest local photography in Fort Collins.
