Before your appointment
Tidy for Access (Not Perfect)
___ Pick up excessive clutter from floors, counters, tables, and beds so surfaces can be fully cleaned
___ Place loose items (toys, clothes, papers) in baskets or bins if possible
___ Heavily cluttered areas may be cleaned around unless organization services are added
Pet Preparation
___ Secure or crate pets only if they are anxious, territorial, or may escape
___ Let me know if any pets will be present
___ Point out pet areas, accidents, or heavy hair zones if you would like extra focus
Clear Work Areas
___ Clear small appliances or items from counters if you would like those surfaces fully cleaned
___ Move lightweight items off bathroom counters, nightstands, and coffee tables when possible
Share Priorities
___ Let me know any priority areas (for example, “please focus on the kitchen today”)
___ Mention any spots of concern (buildup, spills, pet accidents, sticky areas)
___ Confirm any add-ons you would like included
Product Preferences
___ Let me know about sensitivities, allergies, or product preferences
___ Eco-friendly and low-tox products are used whenever possible
Access and Entry
___ Confirm entry instructions (code, key, door unlocked, etc.)
___ Ensure someone is home or that access is arranged if you will not be present
