What To Do The Day Before The Cleaning Lady Comes
What exercise you lot do before the cleaner
(34 Posts)
Then I am about to get a cleaner (squeeeeeee) and the reality has set in that I need to leave the house in a state that allows it to be cleaned. So I ask...
What do yous do before your cleaner comes?
If your a cleaner- what would yous like your client to do before you clean?
So far I am thinking that I volition
Empty and load the dishwasher
Leave a note virtually any rooms that shouldn't exist done that calendar week or any special jobs that tin can exist done if they have time
Brand shore that at that place isn't rubbish on the surfaces so they can actually be cleaned
Put away he kids toys so the floor can be hoovered.
What have I missed?
The business firm basically needs to be left tidy, so cleaner tin come in and actually make clean
Nothing - if I had to make clean up earlier the cleaner came I wouldn't bother having a cleaner.
I volition likewise be putting cleaner down the loo and irresolute the pet'south bedding... Don't want them knowing I live in a tip (I exercise but the tip always has a clean loo and pet's a well looked afterward). The biggest challenge may exist convincing my other one-half that cloths that have been worn but are clean tin get back in the closet- he insists on folding them into a neat pile by the bed (this is by far the most annoying thing he does).
But a cleaner cleans, they don't tidy. Well they can merely you need to pay twice equally long if they need to tidy surfaces and floors before they tin fifty-fifty outset cleaning
I tidy up and articulate the sink. Hide junk and personal stuff. I love coming dwelling house on the day she's been . (Two hours every two weeks)
I suppose it depends on the agreement y'all take with your cleaner. Mine tidies, cleans, picks the kids up from school and various other things. Only I know her really well - and she probably knows better than I exercise where things go as she has worked for us for nigh 7 years.
Alle - that sounds similar a housekeeper more than a cleaner
i fill and run the dishwasher so she can empty information technology
put a load of laundry on if there'south any then she can put it away
bleach in the loos
strip the beds so she can change them
endeavor and exit as little bodily clutter/crap lying around as I tin can, although she's adept and does tidy up and move things if demand be
I endeavour and tidy upwardly, non leave dishes and no clothes on flooring. But my cleaner likes tidying so if I don't accept time or we are out of control (ofttimes) she tidies for me. I honey her.
Once a month she does an extra hour and volition do whatsoever is needed (ironing, change beds, washing, deep clean, kitchen cupboards). It depends on the cleaner - best to talk to them and concord what would work?
Just make sure it's more or less ataxia complimentary just my lovely cleaner will option upward the odd toy or clear away the odd devious mug etc...
I leave out coin.
I will ask the kids to tidy their rooms if need exist. House us generally tidy.
My previous cleaner I would ensure the toilet was visible streak free (I.eastward. Tell hubby clean upward the toilet earlier he went to work) and left out £30!
Only moved and tried new cleaners from an agency last week, hopeless, refused to accept them back.
Got another coming tomorrow, will make sure the house is tidy and will be writing a detailed list of what I await, things I presumed the ones terminal week would do, e.g. Empty bins!
As a cleaning service we include within our terms a department on preparing the home on cleaning day, it just basically outlines to selection up the areas you would like to exist cleaned during that visit, store away ataxia and valuables and to please book and pay for whatever boosted work in advance so we can schedule this into our day earlier the teams set up off for the day.
I call up most of it is common sense, almost clients seem to know these things anyhow, especially if they accept used another service before us.
I make sure there are no skids on the loo. Any items that have been left lying around for a week by dh, I throw them outside. 
We tidy upward, empty bins and strip the bed. People often brand fun of us for information technology, but as I keep having to point out, she'south there to clean, not pick up afterwards usa.
We go out new sheets out and she makes the bed. She will likewise empty the dishwasher if at that place's make clean stuff left in it. She's fab, actually. We've employed her for nearly five years and she always does a great chore.
I don't accept a cleaner whatever more just I used to do the post-obit:
* make certain everything was put abroad (including dishes)
* empty bins
* clean loos (didn't wait or want her to do this)
* make beds
Clear surfaces and floors and clean the rims of loos. Go out greenbacks out.
I apply an agency simply only e'er book the same person - every bit he'south keen and likes cats.
I make certain the loos are clean and the cleaning stuff needed is in that location.
I clear the bathroom shelves (put everything in a basket - because it speeds things up - no need for him to sort through the 1 1000000 unlike pilus products my DD uses).
And that'southward it and works cracking.
I am a cleaner and almost of my customers:
Pick up things from bedroom floors and dump them on bed
Clear spaces where they want cleaning or dusting
Leave make clean bedding out on each bed that they would like us to change
Exit a listing if extra things need doing like internal Windows or specify if certain things are to be left this time
Some leave out ironing lath and dress and so that we know to iron.
As a rule we empty bins but some customers tin can be a scrap funny almost recycling. So maybe exit a note if you lot want your recycling rubbish taking out and country what coloured bins have what.
I have no problem tidying in houses. Only it can be hard to grit bedside tables and cabinets if they are piled high with cosmetics etc.
We likewise only exercise washing and drying if specifically asked to. Same goes for letting dog out, walking dog, tidying rooms that look like a bomb site.
I'm surprised that most of you clean the toilet before the cleaner comes!! Isn't that what yous are paying them for? I have no issues cleaning toilets as its part of the parcel of my job! Okay some can be disgusting, but I would still make clean it and wouldn't grumble. I usually put bleach downwards the loo and spray it and leave it to practice its thing whilst I crack on with the residuum of the bathroom. Nosotros can too article of clothing gloves if actually needed.
We exercise use the cleaner twenty-four hour period as punctuation in our routine.
I put the bathroom towels in the wash in the am. Go new ones out in the evening.
Dh is in charge of cleaning supplies (we provide them, some cleansers prefer their own) and makes sure the vacuum cleaner is empty. In our business firm we all vacuum only Dh is in accuse of emptying....
You don't need to though.
Y'all take to decide if you want her to tidy and clean, or but clean. I just need the cleaning side of matter and then I declutter before she arrives. I put a box in each room and load information technology with anything on the surfaces that will get in the way of cleaning.
I articulate out all the bathroom stuff into a plastic box then that she can spend more time in there.
One thing I learned above all else, it that I have too much crap. Quite ofttimes I did not accept time to put the stuff back before she came over again the next calendar week. Made me realise I did non need it to be there in the kickoff place.my cleaner is amazing, she polishes tiles, does the windows, every ledge and washes the paintwork.
Kwirrell how did yous cut down/downsize on stuff? Any strategies warmly received.
First of all ornaments, vases, photograph, frames, institute pots. One time they were all off the surfaces, the place looked so much better, even before the cleaner. I just idea, what a waste of fourth dimension to have that all off and put them all back each calendar week. So clemency shop got those
Then I found the Marie Kondo thread so I started to clear out the cupboards and drawers. Adjacent I went to Muji who have the most incredible storage boxes. Make-up, perfume, jewellery, diaries, pens, IPads and pods went inside the cupboards and drawers that were vacated past unneccary crap.
For case, 9 gardening jumpers and old trousers, (I never garden) xi bottles of cough mixture, old toys, 59 felt tip pens all stale out, colouring books, never used pots and pans, linens, spectacles, crockery.I would say that having a cleaner has made me a tidier person considering I don't like spoiling her work!
Cheers. I'chiliad already kondoing and dear it. It'southward surfaces and arts and crafts stuff next. Concur whether you lot are a professional cleaner or DIY it'southward impossible to really clean around stuff/crap.
