So you’ve decided to book a professional home cleaning service in Bergen County. Great choice! Not only can reputable house cleaning services ensure your place is always sparkling clean, but they’ll also give you the free time you need to relax or focus on your other responsibilities.
But what if you’ve never used a professional maid service before? Is there anything you need to do before the maids arrive? Do you have to be home during the cleaning, or can the cleaners do their thing without you being present? Do you have to buy cleaning supplies, or will the maids bring their own?
We’ll answer some of these common cleaning questions in the following article. Keep reading!
How do I prepare for house cleaning?
While it’s the maids’ job to ensure your place is cleaned to the highest standard, you still have to make it possible for them to actually access the areas they’re meant to clean. In other words, you have to remove “obstacles” that may make the cleaners’ job unnecessarily more difficult.Â
Do the following before the cleaners arrive:
- If you have pets, you’ll need to take them out of the house or confine them to a specific area for the duration of the cleaning. This will keep your pets from getting scared (and potentially aggressive), and also prevent them from interfering with the cleaning.
- Store clutter such as toys, shoes, clothes, magazines, etc. at a designated place. The maids may end up storing them in wrong places or mistaking them for thrash. Excessive clutter may also make it impossible to reach certain parts of your house, which could prevent proper cleaning.
- Write a list of all the things you want your maids to pay special attention to. For instance, if there’s an old and fragile mirror in the bedroom that requires extra care during cleaning, make sure to point that out. Put this list somewhere where it will be clearly visible (for example, on the living room table, or on the kitchen counter).Â
Do I have to be present during the cleaning?
It depends. Most cleaning companies don’t require the client to be present on location while the cleaning takes place. What’s more, they sometimes encourage them to go about their day as they normally would and allow the cleaner to work without distractions. Still, it’s never a bad idea to give your preferred maid service a call and ask.
In most cases, however, you won’t have to be home during the cleaning. You can use this opportunity to get more work done, or simply enjoy your newfound leisure time by taking a fun trip to the Bergen Museum of Art & Science with your loved ones.
Do the maids bring their own cleaning supplies?
Of course! Top-notch cleaning companies go out of their way to use only non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning products that are 100% safe to people, pets, and the environment. What’s more, they also equip their employees with modern steam mops and HEPA vacuum cleaners.
