A deep cleaning appointment is an investment in your home — and a little preparation beforehand can make a significant difference in what our team is able to accomplish. Here's how to get the most out of your deep clean.
1. Declutter Before We Arrive
Our team cleans surfaces — countertops, shelves, floors, and furniture. The more clear those surfaces are, the more thoroughly we can clean them. Before your appointment, do a quick pass through each room and put away items that don't belong: mail, toys, clothing, dishes. You don't need to deep-organize — just clear the surfaces we'll be cleaning.
2. Secure Pets and Valuables
For the safety and comfort of both your pets and our team, please secure animals in a room or area where they won't interfere with cleaning. Also put away any valuables, jewelry, or fragile items that you'd prefer not to have moved.
3. Note Any Problem Areas
If there are specific areas you want us to focus on — a particularly grimy oven, tile grout that needs extra attention, or a room that hasn't been deep-cleaned in years — let us know before we start. This helps us allocate our time appropriately and ensures your priorities are addressed.
4. Provide Access to All Areas
For a thorough deep clean, we need access to all rooms, including closets (if you want them cleaned), bathrooms, and the kitchen. Make sure all areas are unlocked and accessible. If you have a garage or outdoor area you'd like cleaned, let us know in advance.
5. Plan to Be Out (or Give Us Space)
Deep cleaning works best when we have uninterrupted access to the home. Many clients prefer to be out during the appointment — running errands, working from a coffee shop, or spending time outdoors. If you prefer to be home, we'll work around you, but having clear access to each room as we move through the home helps us work more efficiently.
6. After the Clean: Ventilate Your Home
Even with our 100% non-toxic, plant-based products, we recommend opening windows for 30–60 minutes after a deep clean to allow any residual moisture to evaporate and fresh air to circulate. This is especially helpful in bathrooms and kitchens where we use more product.
