Now that you finally made the decision to bring in professional house cleaners to help get some time back in your life, it is a good idea to do a bit of prep work to get the most out of your cleaning. As the top provider of deep house cleaning in Windsor, CO, we have seen it all, and know something about how a little bit of prep work can go a long way in what you get out of your home cleaning.Â
From doing a quick decluttering to providing any special instructions to your cleaners, there are many ways to help get the most out of your cleaning.Â
Keep reading on to learn more about getting your home ready from your next home cleaning service.Â
Why should I try to prepare my home before my cleaners arrive?
Whether you are getting a professional home cleaning as a gift from a loved one, or are on a regular cleaning rotation, doing a little prep work will allow you to get the most from your upcoming cleaning. Additionally, even if you are the regular cleaner of your home, changing things up a bit and doing some prep work will make your own cleaning that much easier.Â
This preparation work will also make your home a more livable and pleasant place to be even when your home is not being cleaned.Â
What should I focus on to prepare for cleaners?
While you don’t need to clean your whole house before cleaners are coming, there are a few things to focus on before your next cleaning service.Â
The biggest thing is working on decluttering and organization. Additionally, it is also best to put pets away as they can be in the way of cleaners. Lastly, you can always leave out a note for your cleaner with any special instruction or message that may help the cleaner navigate through your home or to focus on a particular area.Â
Focus on these things before your cleaner arrives:
- Work on the clutter
- Pick up clutter throughout your home, especially on kitchen and bathroom countertops, and the floors of bedrooms and the living room
- Organize and pick up trash
- The more that things are organized in all areas of the home, the easier it will be for cleaners to clean deeper in your spaces
- This is especially true for dusting, as the more things are scattered around on surfaces, the harder it is to get a full and detailed dusting
- Put pets in a kennel or outside during the cleaning
- Even if your pets are super friendly, they tend to get in the way of cleaning
- Long haired animals are especially tough, as they will get hair on surfaces that are actively being cleaned
- Leave a note for the cleaner
- Tell them about focus areas or any other special instructions that can help the cleaner maneuver through your home more efficiently and effectivelyÂ
Is there anything that I should do after my home is cleaned?
While the last thing that you want to do after a cleaning is clean more, being mindful of things will help the cleaning benefits last much longer.Â
In the days after your cleaner has left, focus on the following:
- Keep clutter down and stay organized
- It is so easy to let clutter and stuff take over a room – remember how great your home feels when things are put back in place right away
- Try to make sure that your countertops and shelves don’t get disorganizedÂ
- Do a quick sweep or mop of high use areas of the floor
- For example, do some extra floor work in the kitchen where food debris and crumbs pile up very quickly
- This super quick chore will help to keep your floors looking great for much longer than usual
- If you have pets, do an additional vacuuming up of hair around their crates or beds
- Make sure that you are not wearing shoes into your home
- One of the best ways to keep your floors looking great without any additional work, is to always take off your shoes at the door
- Get your family and roommates on board
- It is hard to keep up with these things if you are the only one participating
By doing some basic cleaning tasks after your cleaning, you can keep your home looking great for so much longer. Not only will it be more enjoyable to live in, when it is time for your next cleaning, you won’t have to do much prep work to get the most out of the cleaning service.Â
