How to Prepare Your Home for a Deep Clean
So you have booked a professional deep cleaning with 5S Clean Up. Great choice. A deep clean goes far beyond regular house cleaning. It tackles built-up grime, dust, and dirt in every corner of your home. But before our team arrives, there are a few things you can do to make the most of your service.
Preparing your home properly ensures our cleaners can focus on what they do best. Giving your home a thorough, spotless clean. Here is how to get ready.
Declutter Before We Arrive
The first step is decluttering. Our team is coming to clean, not to organize your belongings. Take a few minutes to pick up items from floors, countertops, and furniture. This allows us to clean every surface without having to move your personal items around.
Clear kitchen counters of small appliances and dishes. Pick up toys, shoes, and clothes from floors. Remove items from bathroom counters and shelves. Clear nightstands and dressers in bedrooms. When surfaces are clear, we can clean more efficiently and thoroughly.
Identify Problem Areas
Every home has spots that need extra attention. Maybe it is the grout in your bathroom tiles. Perhaps your oven has baked on grease. Or your carpets have stubborn stains.
Let us know about these areas ahead of time. We offer specialized services like carpet cleaning, post-construction cleaning, and deep cleaning that target these specific issues. When we know what to focus on, we can bring the right equipment and products to get the job done.
Make Sure We Have Access
This one is simple but important. Our team needs to be able to get into your home. If you will not be there during the cleaning, make sure we have a way in.
Provide a spare key or garage code. Let us know if there is a lockbox. Ensure pets are secured in a safe area. Confirm any special instructions for access.
We serve homes across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and all surrounding Twin Cities suburbs. Whether you are in Edina, Bloomington, Plymouth, or Woodbury, we will arrive on time and ready to work.
Secure Your Pets
We love pets. But they may not love the sound of a vacuum or a stranger in their home. For their safety and our team’s efficiency, please secure your pets during the cleaning.
Place them in a crate or a room that does not need cleaning. Let us know if they have any special needs. Confirm if they are allowed in certain areas. This keeps everyone safe and stress free.
Plan for Walkthrough Time
After the cleaning is complete, we want to make sure you are 100% satisfied. Plan to walk through your home with our team. We will check every room and address any areas you are not happy with.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If something was missed, we will make it right. No questions asked.
