Start with your priorities
Make a short list of the rooms and surfaces that need attention. Separate everyday cleaning from extras such as inside cupboards or appliances. Agree what is included before any work begins; a general cleaning description is not a personalised quote.
Clear the surfaces you want cleaned
Put away loose paperwork, dishes, clothing and small personal items. Decluttering is different from cleaning. Clear benches and accessible floors make it easier to explain the work you need without moving private belongings.
Make access straightforward
Plan how the cleaner will enter and leave, where to park and which areas are off limits. Share essential access details through an agreed private channel, not a public comment or social-media post.
Explain what needs special care
Point out delicate finishes, damaged fixtures and manufacturer-specific care requirements. Arrange a comfortable separate space for pets and keep valuables and private documents secure.
Confirm the scope
Keep a written record of the agreed rooms, exclusions, timing and price. If your priorities change, discuss them before work starts. This checklist is general preparation guidance, not confirmation that Bordoh Cleaning is accepting bookings.
