You don't need to pre-clean

Let's be clear: hiring cleaners then cleaning before they arrive defeats the purpose. But five minutes of prep makes a real difference in what we can accomplish.

The prep checklist

Pick up clutter: clothes, toys, mail, dishes in the sink — clear surfaces so we can clean them.
Secure valuables: put away jewelry, cash, and sensitive documents. Not because we're not trustworthy (we are), but because it's smart.
Note priorities: tell us what matters most — the guest bath before visitors, the kitchen after a cooking spree.
Plan for pets: secure anxious pets, or let us know the friendly ones will be around.
Clear access: make sure we can get in — and that we can reach every room.

What not to do

Don't dust, don't vacuum, don't scrub. That's literally what you're paying us for. Save your energy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I strip the beds?

If you want fresh linens, leave them out and we'll change them. Otherwise we'll make the beds as-is.

Do I need to put my dishes away?

A few dishes in the sink are fine. A full sink of dishes limits what we can do with the sink area — run the dishwasher if you can.
