How to Prep Your Home for a Professional Clean

Jul 3, 2019

Cleaning up before the cleaner comes. it may sound silly, but there’s sense behind the saying. While the real cleaning should be left to the person you’ve hired to clean, there are still a few things you can do beforehand to ensure that you get the kind of service you expect from a professional cleaning company.

Although there aren’t any hard and fast rules about preparing your home for a cleaner, we’ve got a few tips to make the whole cleaning experience easier for both parties.

Pick up clutter

It’s always a good idea to do a quick walk-through of your home to pick up any scattered items that may get in the way. Putting away any loose clothing, kids’ toys, stray dishes, piles of papers and anything you would not want damaged will allow your cleaner to get down to the business of cleaning quickly and more efficiently.

Clear off surfaces 

For any counters, vanities or work areas, be sure to store excess products or fragile items away in drawers to allow your cleaner to effectively clean all surfaces. This includes beauty and skincare products, perfume bottles, makeup containers, appliances and also valuable ornaments. 

Make a plan

Be sure to discuss the details of your cleaning plan in advance so that your cleaner can come prepared and there are no misunderstandings about costs or the length of the visit. If you have any special cleaning requests, or any areas you want the cleaner to pay particular attention to or avoid entirely, make sure to communicate these too.

Bonus Tip: Don’t forget about your pets

Find a good spot for your pets out of the way so that they’re kept safe and secure while your cleaner does their thing.

Taking heed of these simple tips will ensure that every moment your cleaner is in your home is productively spent getting your home spic and span, maximising the value-for-money that you’re getting!

The reality is, DIY methods may not be as effective in controlling more severe infestations or for dealing with pests that require specialised equipment or expertise to handle.

Professional pest control, on the other hand, takes into consideration the type of pest, the root of the infestation, and subsequent prevention measures to ensure that the pests stay away.

Professional products have specialised active ingredients which target specific pests and their level of immunity. As well as monitoring the site after administering the products, we also return for follow-ups after the service has been rendered.

We take into account the type of site (home/office/warehouse/soil/foundation), size and location that requires pest control. Different sites need different methods. This means that there are a variety of methods and different product concentrations that are suitable for different sites. It’s not just a spray-and-pray-away endeavour. We take time to assess the infestation and find the root of it all to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

Professional pest control is a holistic service that covers every angle and behaviour of the pests and eradicates them thereafter.
