How to Prepare for House Cleaners

How to Prepare for House Cleaners - by CleaniCoast - November 29, 2025

Preparing for house cleaners to come into your home can feel a little overwhelming, and that’s completely understandable. Many people feel the urge to tidy up before we arrive, and that’s perfectly natural. Our goal, however, is to make your life easier, not add to your already full plate. 

You don’t have to “clean before the cleaners.” A quick pick-up of everyday clutter is more than enough. This simply gives us the space we need to focus on what we’re there to do: provide a thorough, refreshing clean that leaves your home feeling calm and cared for. We don’t handle organizing or decluttering, so removing items from floors and surfaces helps us give you the best possible results without disrupting your personal systems.

Start by identifying the areas of your home that require the most attention, such as the kitchen, bathrooms, or any space that has accumulated dust, grime, or buildup. Once you know which areas require deeper cleaning, take a moment to move or clear away items so your cleaners can access the surfaces and spaces they need to work on.

Go room by room and remove anything taking up unnecessary space, clear countertops, put away loose items, and remove clutter from tables or floors. This not only helps your cleaners work more efficiently, but also creates a calmer, more organized environment for you and your household.

If you have children, involving them in the process can be helpful. Encourage them to pick up their toys and place belongings where they belong. This supports your cleaner’s work while teaching your children the value of caring for their living space. You may also choose to leave out a small basket for miscellaneous items the cleaners might find; this provides them with a designated spot to place things if you weren’t able to pick everything up beforehand, and it helps save them time.

Finally, communicate openly with your cleaner about any specific areas you’d like them to focus on. Whether it’s giving extra attention to the bathroom, addressing high-touch areas, or ensuring windows are thoroughly cleaned, sharing your priorities ensures you receive the best possible service.

In the end, preparing for a house cleaner doesn’t have to be stressful. With a bit of decluttering and clear communication, you support your cleaner’s ability to do their job well while helping create a clean, comfortable, and organized home for yourself and your family.
