Start with your priorities
Walk through your home and note the rooms that need the most attention. Mention buildup, delicate finishes, pets, and any products you would like used or avoided when you request your estimate.
Clear surfaces without doing the cleaning
Put away loose clothing, paperwork, and personal items so counters and floors are accessible. You do not need to scrub first; simply make it easier to reach the areas you want cleaned.
Plan access and timing
Share parking instructions, gate codes, and building access requirements directly with your cleaning team. Discuss how pets will be kept comfortable, and confirm the agreed tasks before the visit.
