🧹 Why Prepare at All?

You might wonder, "Isn’t the whole point of hiring professionals so I don’t have to do anything?" While that’s mostly true, simple prep steps help maximize the efficiency of the cleaning session and protect your personal belongings. It also allows the team to focus more on actual deep cleaning rather than organizing clutter.

✅ 1. Declutter Common Areas

Clear off countertops, tables, and floors. Put away scattered items like:

• Toys
  
  

• Clothes
  
  

• Paperwork
  
  

• Dishes
  
  

Decluttering helps cleaners focus on sanitizing and scrubbing instead of organizing, which saves time and ensures nothing is missed.

✅ 2. Put Away Valuables & Personal Items

While professional cleaning companies like Urban Mop™ are trustworthy and respectful, it's best to store important items like:

• Jewelry
  
  

• Cash
  
  

• Confidential documents
  
  

• Fragile décor
  
  

This ensures peace of mind for both parties during the service.

✅ 3. Secure Pets

Pets can become anxious or overly curious around cleaning equipment and strangers. Keep them safe in a designated room, or better yet, take them for a walk or arrange for them to be out of the house during the session.

✅ 4. Make a Priority List (Optional but Helpful)

Do you want extra attention on the kitchen grease, bathroom grout, or maybe the windows? Jot down your top cleaning priorities and share them with the team when they arrive. It ensures tailored results.

✅ 5. Empty the Sink and Dishwasher

Clear your sink and run the dishwasher before the cleaners arrive. This allows your kitchen area, especially the sink and counters, to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

✅ 6. Leave Instructions for Entry (If You’re Not Home)

If you won’t be home during the cleaning, coordinate with the cleaning company in advance. Provide instructions on:

• Door/keypad access
  
  

• Any off-limit areas
  
  

• Emergency contact details
  
  

✅ 7. Provide Access to Necessary Utilities

Ensure water and electricity are available throughout the house. The cleaning team may need to use vacuum cleaners, pressure washers, steam cleaners, or other equipment that require electricity and running water.

✅ 8. Communicate Any Special Requests

Have allergies to certain products? Want to avoid harsh chemicals? Let the team know in advance. At Urban Mop™, we also offer eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning options tailored to your preferences.

💡 Bonus Tip: Take “Before” Photos
