Hiring a professional cleaner should make your life easier, not more stressful. Whether you booked a standard clean, a deep clean, or an end-of-tenancy clean, preparing your home the right way helps us deliver the best results.
At Fresh 4U London, we bring our own high-quality products, aromatherapy blends, and equipment. Your job is simple, and a few quick steps before we arrive can make your clean smoother, faster, and more effective.
1. Do a Quick Tidy (5 to 10 Minutes)
You do not need to clean before the cleaner. That is our job. But clearing surfaces helps us work deeper and faster.
List:
- Clothes off the floor
- Dishes put away or inside the sink
- Toys or items off counters
- Personal items moved to one area
It does not need to be perfect. Just clear enough for us to reach surfaces properly.
2. Secure Valuables and Sensitive Documents
Place valuables, jewellery, cash, private documents, and personal items safely out of sight. This protects your privacy and creates a comfortable environment for everyone.
3. Make Note of Any Problem Areas
Every home has certain spots you want extra attention on. Let your cleaner know before they arrive or leave a short note.
List:
- Hard water marks
- Grease on the hob
- Dust around electronics
- Mould spots
- Pet hair in certain rooms
4. Declutter the Sink and Counters
To achieve a clean, hotel-style finish, we need clear access to your main surfaces.
List:
- Kitchen counters
- Bathroom counters
- Sink area
- Dining tables
- Coffee tables
5. Ensure Clear Access to Every Room
If furniture or boxes block entry, adjust them if possible. This helps us clean efficiently and reduces delays.
6. Keep Pets Safe and Out of the Way
We love pets, but cleaning around them can be challenging.
List:
- Secure pets in a separate room
- Mention any pet-related messes
- Let us know if your pet is shy or excited around new people
7. Decide If You Will Be Home During the Clean
If you will be home:
Choose one room to relax in so we can work around you.
If you will be away:
Make sure we have access with a key, lockbox code, or building entry details. We can send a message when we are nearly finished.
8. Tell Us About Allergies or Scent Sensitivity
Fresh 4U London uses natural essential oils for our aromatherapy finishing touch. If you prefer alternatives, we can provide:
List:
- No fragrance
- Eco-friendly products
- Low scent products
Just inform us before your appointment.
9. Do a Quick Walkthrough (Optional)
If you are home, a quick walkthrough helps set expectations.
List:
- Highlight priority areas
- Mention delicate items
- Confirm what is included in your clean
10. Relax and Let Us Handle Everything
Once we start, your work is done. Enjoy the transformation.
List:
