Home Preparation

Prepare the space for safe, efficient cleaning.

Small preparation steps make agreed surfaces easier to reach while protecting personal property.

Secure valuables and sensitive information

Put away cash, jewelry, medication, IDs, financial documents, passwords, mail, firearms, confidential work material, and other sensitive items.

Clear fragile items

Move fragile decorations, loose glassware, unstable objects, and sentimental items from areas to be cleaned.

Identify special surfaces

Point out natural stone, specialty wood finishes, delicate metals, antique furniture, damaged coatings, unsealed grout, or surfaces with specific care instructions.

Manage pets safely

Keep pets secure in an area that will not interfere with cleaning or create an escape risk.
