You’ve booked a cleaning session with a professional team — awesome! But now you might be wondering:
“Do I need to do anything before the cleaners arrive?”
The answer is yes — just a little bit. Preparing your home for professional cleaners ensures that they can do their job more efficiently and effectively.
At Smartisha Home, we believe in making your cleaning experience smooth and satisfying. In this blog, we’ll share simple, practical steps to help you get the most out of your scheduled cleaning.
1. Declutter the Surfaces
Our team is happy to clean every surface — but removing personal items like mail, toys, clothes, and electronics helps us focus on the dirt, not the clutter.
✅ Quick tip: Toss clothes into a laundry basket and store loose items in drawers or boxes.
2. Secure Pets & Communicate Any Concerns
Love your furry friends? So do we! But not all pets are comfortable with strangers or cleaning machines.
- If possible, keep pets in a closed room or outside.
- Let us know in advance if your pet gets anxious.
- We also appreciate a heads-up about pet hair so we bring the right tools.
3. Identify Priority Areas
We know every home is different. That’s why we allow you to specify your key focus zones. Whether it’s:
- A stained sofa,
- Dusty windows,
- Greasy kitchen appliances,
- Or a guest room that hasn’t been touched in weeks…
Letting us know in advance helps us give those areas extra attention.
4. Ensure Easy Access to Water & Power
Our cleaning tools and eco-friendly supplies work best with water and electricity access.
- Make sure taps are working
- Clear paths to sinks or wash basins
- Alert us if there’s a power issue in any part of your home
5. Store Fragile or Valuables Away
While our cleaners are trained, careful, and insured, it’s always safer to move valuable or delicate items out of cleaning areas. This includes:
- Jewelry
- Glass décor
- Electronics
- Important documents
6. Leave a Note or Instructions (Optional)
Heading out during the cleaning? No problem! Just leave a written or digital note with any special instructions — like:
- “Don’t use bleach in the bathroom.”
- “Please avoid moving this plant.”
- “Use lavender scent in the bedroom.”
Our cleaners appreciate clear communication and love meeting your preferences.
7. Relax — You’re in Good Hands!
Once you’ve done these simple things, it’s time to sit back and relax. Our Smartisha Home team takes it from there, delivering a thorough, eco-friendly, and premium clean.
Whether it’s weekend deep cleaning, carpet revamp, or laundry refresh, we’ve got your back.
Final Words
Preparing your home for professional cleaning is not about doing the work yourself — it’s about setting the stage for maximum results. At Smartisha Home, we aim to make every visit efficient, respectful, and rewarding for you.
