Hiring Home Cleaning Services in Idaho Falls? Here’s What to Do Before We Arrive
If you have ever considered using home cleaning services, you’ve probably wondered this at least once.
Do I need to clean before the cleaners come?
It’s natural to think this. But if you think about it, cleaning before your cleaning appointment sounds… redundant.
But breathe easy — you don’t have to stay up all night cleaning. And we’ve put together a list of what to do before we arrive (and what you can skip).
Don’t Scrub Anything
Our cleaning technicians are there to clean. That is their job, and they are great at it.
We can’t wait to get our paws on the dirt, grime, and buildup — it’s exactly what we’re there for. And we’ve truly seen it all. Don’t stress about making it spotless before we arrive. We won’t have much to do!
Do a Quick Tidy
A quick tidy helps us do our best work.
Before your appointment, a quick pick-up of a few things allows us to be more efficient:
- Dishes - Clear any dirty dishes from the counters or sink so we can fully clean those surfaces.
- Laundry - Toss any clothes on the floor into the hamper so floors and surfaces are accessible.
- Toys and clutter - Do a quick sweep of toys, papers, and everyday items off the floor and counters.
Close Off Rooms You Want Us to Skip
If there is a room in your home you’d rather we not look at, just close the door. Our team will not open it.
If you need to throw every last pile of clutter into one room before your home cleaning service arrives and shut it behind you, go for it. We will never know, and we will never judge.
We are here to clean the spaces you need, on your terms.
We Bring the Cleaning Supplies
Our team arrives fully stocked with everything needed for your clean. Many of the products we use are unscented or low-scented, so you do not have to worry about overwhelming chemical smells lingering after we leave.
That said, if you have a specific cleaner or product you would like us to use on a particular surface, just let your cleaning technician know when they arrive.
One thing to keep in mind: OSHA requires that all chemicals be in their original packaging with directions and precautions fully readable. Our team is not permitted to mix any chemicals, so please make sure any products you provide are in their original containers.
Please Put Your Pets Away
We love pets, but for the safety of both your furry family members and our cleaning technicians, we ask that pets be secured in an area we will not be cleaning during your appointment.
We know most pets are friendly and would happily follow our team around the whole house. And while that is adorable, it does make the work a little harder. Keeping them out of the way when we first arrive helps everything get started smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home when my home cleaning service arrives?
Not at all. Many of our clients provide access and go about their day while we clean. Others prefer to be home, especially for the first visit. Either works. We will follow whatever arrangement makes you most comfortable.
What if I have a specific area I want the cleaners to focus on?
Just let us know before or when your technician arrives. Our home cleaning service follows a thorough room-by-room checklist on every visit, but we are happy to give extra attention to specific areas that need it. Clear communication before the clean starts always helps us deliver the best results.
