How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Cleaning

Guides March 28, 2026 2 min read Wasatch Cleaners Team 68 views

You have booked a professional cleaning -- great decision! Here is how to make sure you get the absolute most out of your service.

Before the Team Arrives

Declutter Surfaces

Professional cleaners clean surfaces, not organize belongings. The more clear counter space, tables, and floors you provide, the more deep cleaning your team can accomplish. Spend 15 minutes before arrival putting away personal items, mail, and daily clutter.

Secure Valuables and Fragile Items

While our team is fully bonded and insured, it gives everyone peace of mind to put away jewelry, cash, and irreplaceable heirlooms. Also move delicate items that could be bumped during thorough cleaning.

Handle the Dishes

Unless you have specifically requested dish washing as part of your service, clear the sink and run the dishwasher beforehand. This lets the team focus on sanitizing and deep cleaning the kitchen surfaces rather than washing dishes.

Communicate Priorities

If there are specific areas you want extra attention on -- maybe the master bathroom, the kitchen behind the stove, or the playroom -- let us know when booking or leave a note. Our teams always check for special instructions before starting.

During the Cleaning

Pets

Most of our cleaners love animals, but pets can slow down the process and create safety concerns with open cleaning products. If possible, keep pets in a designated room or area, or let us know their temperament so the team can plan accordingly.

Stay or Go

You are welcome to stay home or leave during the cleaning. Many clients find it is a perfect time to run errands or grab coffee. If you stay, the team will work around you -- just know they may need access to rooms you are in.

After the Cleaning

Do a Walkthrough

Before the team leaves, do a quick walkthrough. If anything was missed or needs adjustment, they are happy to address it on the spot. This is much easier than calling back later.

Provide Feedback

Your feedback helps us improve. Whether it is a glowing review or constructive notes, we genuinely want to hear it. You can leave feedback through your customer dashboard or by leaving a review.
