How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Cleaner

You do not need to clean before the cleaners arrive, but clearing surfaces, securing pets and flagging priorities lets the visit be spent on cleaning rather than on moving things.

Clear, don't clean

The single most useful thing you can do is clear flat surfaces: counters, dining tables, nightstands and bathroom vanities. Every item that has to be lifted, cleaned around and replaced is time not spent on the room itself.

A short preparation list

  • Put away laundry, toys, paperwork and dishes where possible
  • Secure pets in a safe room or crate if they are nervous around strangers or equipment
  • Confirm access — key, code, or someone at home
  • Leave a note about any fragile or off-limits items
  • Tell us your priorities if time is limited, for example bathrooms over bedrooms
  • Make sure water and power are on, particularly for empty properties

Tell us about problem areas

A shower that needs particular attention, a stain you have been fighting, a room that is rarely used — flag these in advance. It is much easier to plan for them than to discover them mid-visit.

Walk through the home and check the rooms that matter most to you. If something was missed, tell us — Aurofresh Cleaning will return and re-clean it within 24 hours.
