AI-generated illustration; it does not show a customer project or a tested product.

Choose a cleaner who can explain the work covered in the available time. Define priorities and how you will communicate about quality or changes.

Key checks for cleaner

  • Confirm products and equipment.
  • Ask who attends and arranges cover.
  • Agree keys, access and cancellations.

Agree a realistic task list

For the first visit, prioritise rooms and tasks and discuss what can be completed in the available time. Identify surfaces or belongings needing particular care. A task list makes quality easier to review than a broad promise that the whole property will be spotless.

Plan access and service changes

Confirm who attends, how cover works and how either side changes or cancels a visit. Discuss keys, pets and equipment before booking. After the first clean, review priorities and timing together rather than silently adding tasks to an unchanged booking.

Before you book or buy

  • Confirm products and equipment.
  • Ask who attends and arranges cover.
  • Agree keys, access and cancellations.
