Will Barely Ever Clean Your Home Like You Do! We add that Personalized Touch
We all know the feeling—stepping into a sparkling clean home after a long day's work. While hiring a cleaner can be a game-changer, there's a unique touch you bring to your home that no cleaner can perfectly replicate. Here's why your cleaner will hardly ever clean your home like you do and some tips on how to bridge that gap.
How to hire a cleaner
When you clean your home, you're not just cleaning; you're nurturing your personal space. You know exactly where everything belongs, your preferred cleaning products, and your little rituals that make your home uniquely yours. A cleaner, no matter how skilled, may not share the same intimate connection with your home.
Tip: Create a detailed checklist for your cleaner, noting your preferences and any specific tasks you have. This way, they can follow your guidelines more closely.
2. Attention to Detail
You know the little nooks and crannies that require extra attention. Whether it's the baseboards, the top of picture frames, or the grout between tiles, you probably notice and clean areas that might be overlooked by someone else.
Tip: During the initial consultation, walk your cleaner through your home and point out these areas. Make it part of the regular cleaning routine.
3. Frequency and Consistency
You're likely to clean specific areas more frequently than a cleaner who visits once or twice a week. This consistency helps maintain a higher standard of cleanliness.
Tip: Supplement professional cleaning with quick touch-ups in between visits. It doesn't have to be extensive – a quick vacuum or wipe-down can make a big difference.
4. Special Sentiments
Certain items in your home hold sentimental value, and you have a particular way of caring for them. A cleaner may not recognize the significance of these items and might handle them differently.
Tip: Store delicate or special items in a safe place before the cleaner arrives, or provide clear instructions on their care.
5. Unique Cleaning Challenges
Everyone's home has unique cleaning challenges, be it pet hair, high-traffic areas, or specific types of stains. You're familiar with your home's quirks and have your strategies for dealing with them.
Tip: Share these challenges and your preferred solutions with your cleaner. They might have additional suggestions or products that could help.
Conclusion
While professional cleaners add immense value by saving you time and effort, it's essential to communicate your expectations and preferences to ensure they align with your standards. By working closely with your cleaner and providing clear instructions, you can achieve a clean and comfortable home that still feels distinctly yours.
