🗓 Before Your First Cleaning Appointment
1. Clear Up Clutter (But No Deep Cleaning Needed)
You don’t have to scrub your floors or deep clean before the pros arrive that’s our job! However, removing personal clutter like toys, clothes, dishes and loose items allows our team to clean efficiently and thoroughly. Decluttering makes a big difference in how much we can accomplish during your first visit.
2. Communicate Special Instructions
If you have particular areas you want extra attention on (like bathrooms, high-traffic rooms, or pet hair hotspots), let us know in advance. Clear communication about your priorities and preferences ensures we focus on what matters most to you
3. Prepare Pets and Access
Pets can be curious or nervous around new people. Decide beforehand if your pets will stay in a secure room, be with you, or leave for the day. Also plan how we’ll access your home key, lockbox, or an open door so we can start on time.
🧽 What Happens During Your First Cleaning
1. Professional Arrival and Walkthrough
Our uniformed, trained cleaning team will arrive punctually with all the tools and supplies needed. Before beginning, they’ll do a quick walkthrough with you to confirm:

2. Thorough Cleaning, Room by Room
During your first appointment, expect a detailed and systematic cleaning process that often covers:
First cleanings often take longer than future visits because we’re doing a baseline deep clean getting your home into great shape.

🏡 After the Cleaning Appointment
1. Final Walk-Through & Feedback
Once the cleaning is complete, we’ll invite you to look around and share feedback. If there’s anything you feel wasn’t done to your standards, just let us know we’re happy to address it while we’re still there.
2. Enjoy Your Fresh, Clean Home
