Clear the surfaces. A cleaner cannot wipe a counter under a week of mail. Ten minutes of putting things away before the visit turns into an hour more of actual cleaning.
Say what matters most. Every home has the thing that bothers you: the shower glass, the ceiling fan, the baseboards in the hall. Put it in the booking text and it is first on the list.
Handle pets and access. Tell us about dogs and where they will be. Send a door code or key arrangement the morning of; we delete codes the day of the job.
Pick your products. Green or fragrance-free is a note on the job, not an upcharge. The cleaner brings everything either way.
