5 Things to Tidy Before Your Professional Cleaner Arrives

Make the most of your JD Neat & Clean appointment!

Hiring a professional cleaning service takes a huge task off your plate — and that’s what we’re here for! But did you know that a few quick steps before we arrive can help you get the best results possible?

Here are five simple things you can do to prep for your cleaning appointment — and make sure every minute counts.

1. Put Away Personal Items

We don’t mind clutter — we clean through it every day — but putting away clothes, toys, paperwork, and dishes helps us focus on actual cleaning, not organizing. The less we move around, the more we can deep clean the areas you care about most.

2. Secure Pets (If Needed)

We love animals, but to keep them safe (and our cleaners focused), we recommend putting pets in a separate room or crate. Loud vacuums and unfamiliar scents can make pets anxious — so let’s keep things calm and comfortable for everyone.

3. Point Out Problem Areas

Have a stain on the floor? Dust that never goes away? Let us know when we arrive! We're happy to give extra attention where it’s needed most. The more we know, the more customized your clean will be.

4. Clear Countertops

Wipe down or clear surfaces like kitchen counters, bathroom vanities, and nightstands. This helps us clean all the way to the edges — and makes your home sparkle that much more.

5. Plan to Give Us Space

If possible, try to step out or work in another room while we clean. This lets us move efficiently and safely — and you’ll love coming back to a totally refreshed space.
