Client preparation

A little prep lets us spend the appointment cleaning. Please do this before we arrive.

Pick up personal items, toys, and clothes from floors, counters, and furniture.
Wash and put away dishes, or load the dishwasher, so we can clean the counters and sink.
Clear small appliances, toiletries, and clutter from the counters where you can.
Put away cash, jewelry, documents, and other valuables.
Pets are welcome. Secure any pet that is anxious, overly excited, or uneasy with new people.
Give us a way in. If we use a code, confirm that it works, and tell us about any special entry instructions.
Have electricity, water, and heat or air conditioning on and working.
Tell us before the appointment about any room or item you do not want cleaned.
If you want a particular area emphasized, say so ahead of time so we can plan.
