Separate regular cleaning from deep cleaning

Regular cleaning usually covers visible surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and general tidying. Deep cleaning may include ovens, skirting boards, limescale, inside cupboards, and heavy build-up. Being specific avoids confusion on the day.

List priority rooms

If time is limited, rank the rooms that matter most. Many customers prefer cleaners to focus on bathrooms and kitchens first, then living areas, then bedrooms. This helps the cleaner use the booked time well.

Mention supplies and access

Confirm whether you provide cleaning products, parking, keys, pets, and any surfaces that need special care. Small details make the visit smoother and reduce back-and-forth before the appointment.

Quick FAQ

Comparing two or three suitable professionals is usually enough to understand pricing, availability, and approach.
