. It means that someone else is coming in to do the dirty work. But in order to give the professionals enough time to give everything a deep cleaning, you and your family need to make sure that the house is ready to go. This means everyone working together to provide a clutter free space that is ready to sparkle and shine.
Decide on the Sheets
Does your home cleaning service include changing the sheets on the bed? If so, consider removing the dirty sheets in advance and tossing them in the dirty clothes. If you have the new sheets laid out on the mattress, there is no reason for anyone to look around and find exactly what you want on the bed. This saves some time and ensures that all of the beds in the house are fresh and clean.
Get Things Off the Floor
Think about how long it takes you to pick up all of the toys that the kids leave on the floor or the clothes that just cannot seem to make it into the dirty clothes hamper. Now, imagine that you are paying someone to pick up after your family. Would you rather the professionals of the home cleaning service spend their time picking up after everyone or tackling the kids' bathroom? Have everyone work together to make sure that the floors are clear and clutter free. Clothes should be put away and toys should be in their place. This also makes it easier to get the floors vacuumed. Everything that you do in advance allows more for the difficult jobs that you are leaving to the home cleaning service.
The Kitchen
It goes without saying that the kitchen needs to be cleaned a little before the home cleaning service professionals arrive. There is no need to clean out the oven or the microwave and there is no need for scrubbing. However, you do want to make sure that the dishes are all out of the sink and all food is put away. Again, this is a mundane task that the family can take care of before the professionals arrive. It takes just a few minutes to load the dishes into the dishwasher and clear off the counter tops.
There is no doubt that when you hire a professional, you want the most bang for your buck. Be sure that you leave a list with any and all tasks that you would like addressed. Remember that once the time is up, it will cost extra for someone to stay and continue to work. Be sure that you have talked about this option before the scheduled appointment.
