How to prep your home before your cleaner arrives

Small things that make a big difference in the result you get from your cleaning service.

You don't need to clean before your cleaner shows up — but a few small habits help us spend our time on the cleaning that matters, not the tidying.

Pick up loose items from floors and counters, run the dishwasher (or leave dishes stacked), and let us know about any rooms you'd like skipped or extra-prioritized.

If you have pets, a quick note about their behavior helps. Secure any valuables or sensitive items — we always treat homes with care, but it's good practice with any service provider.
