Preparing Your Home for a Professional Cleaner: What You Should (and Shouldn’t) Do
Serving Maple Ridge, Silver Valley, Albion, and Surrounding Areas
Hiring a professional cleaning service is a game-changer—but many first-time clients ask the same question:
“What do I need to do before my cleaners arrive?”
At Honey Bee Cleaning, we want to make your recurring cleanings in Maple Ridge as efficient and stress-free as possible. Below is a quick guide on what you should—and shouldn’t—do to prepare.
✅ What You Should Do Before Your Cleaner Arrives:
1. Tidy Up Personal Items
Put away clothes, paperwork, children’s toys, and other loose items. This allows us to focus on cleaning—not organizing—and ensures no personal belongings are misplaced.
2. Clear Counters and Surfaces
Remove excess dishes, makeup, and small appliances if possible. A clear surface allows us to properly sanitize and polish key areas like bathroom vanities and kitchen counters.
3. Secure Pets
If you have pets at home, please secure them in a designated room or crate. We love animals, but unfamiliar cleaners can be stressful for them—and it helps us work more safely and quickly.
4. Provide Access
If you won’t be home, make sure we have access via keypad, garage code, or a hidden key. Our team services homes across Thornhill, Cottonwood, and Kanaka Creek, and punctual access helps us stay on schedule.
5. Communicate Special Instructions
Let us know in advance if you want us to skip a room, focus extra time on a specific area, or use unscented products. We’ll personalize the clean based on your household’s needs.
❌ What You Shouldn’t Worry About:
1. Scrubbing or Pre-Cleaning
There’s no need to “clean before the cleaner.” That’s what we’re here for! Whether you’re in a 1-bedroom condo near Lougheed Highway or a 4-bedroom home off 240th Street, we’re fully equipped for the job.
2. Supplying Products or Tools
We bring our own eco-friendly cleaning products, tools, and vacuums—so you don’t have to lift a finger. Just relax and enjoy the results.
3. Being Home During the Clean
You’re welcome to be home or out running errands—we work around your lifestyle. Many of our weekly clients in Albion and Silver Valley trust us with access when they’re away.
