How to Prepare Your Home for a Deep Clean
You've booked a deep clean — great! A deep clean is a thorough, top-to-bottom refresh that gets into all those areas a regular clean doesn't reach. To help your cleaning team make the absolute most of the time, here are a few simple things you can do to prepare.
1. Declutter Surfaces
The more cluttered a surface is, the longer it takes to clean. Before the cleaners arrive, try to clear away personal items, paperwork, toys, and general clutter from worktops, tables, and bathroom surfaces. You don't need to deep clean — just tidy.
This allows the team to spend their time actually cleaning rather than moving things around.
2. Empty the Fridge and Oven (If Included)
If you've booked inside-fridge and oven cleaning, empty them beforehand. Remove all food from the fridge and any loose items from the oven. This saves significant time and means your food isn't sitting out while the appliances are cleaned.
3. Secure Valuables and Personal Items
Our cleaners are DBS-checked and fully insured, but it's always good practice to put away jewellery, cash, important documents, and anything fragile or irreplaceable. This is standard advice for any professional service in your home.
4. Let Us Know About Problem Areas
Is there a room that needs extra attention? A stubborn stain you've given up on? Mould in the bathroom? Let us know in advance so we can plan the time accordingly and bring the right products.
The more we know, the better the result.
5. Pets and Access
If you have pets, please let us know. We love animals, but it helps to know in advance — especially for allergies, nervous pets, or rooms that should stay closed. Also ensure we have clear access to the property on the day (keys, codes, parking).
Don't Stress
The whole point of a deep clean is to take the stress away. Don't worry about pre-cleaning — that's our job. These tips just help us maximise the value of every minute we're in your home.
