Should I Clean Before the Cleaner Comes?

Michael Shaw • July 7, 2022

Cleaning before a cleaner comes is not necessary

Cleaning the house before a cleaner comes is not necessary. Chances are that the cleaner will do a better job if you don't clean first. trust me, I’m a professional cleaner. Plus, it'll save you time and money. 


Here's why: 


Cleaning floors and surfaces before a deep clean doesn't make much of a difference. In fact, it may even make things worse because you're likely to miss spots and end up having to go back over them again later. If there are any areas that need extra attention - like pet stains or heavy traffic areas - the cleaners will spot them right away and address them specifically.

The cleaner will clean the areas that they are supposed to clean

A House cleaner is someone who carries out domestic cleaning tasks in a private home. They are usually employed by the householder, although they may also be self-employed. Cleaners typically have a range of duties, which may include vacuuming, mopping, dusting, cleaning toilets and bathrooms, washing floors and windows, and ironing. Some cleaners also offer additional services such as laundry and grocery shopping. In most cases, cleaners work on a regular basis, although they may also be called on to carry out one-off jobs such as spring cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. Cleaners typically work during normal office hours, although some may also work evenings or weekends to fit around their other commitments.

You can save time and money by not cleaning before the cleaner comes

For many of us, the arrival of the house cleaner is a much-anticipated event. After a long week at work, it's nice to know that someone else will be taking care of the cleaning for once. However, there's often a temptation to try and get ahead of the cleaner by giving the house a quick once-over before they arrive. But is this really necessary?


In most cases, house cleaners are more than capable of doing a thorough job without any help from you. In fact, trying to clean up beforehand can actually end up taking longer than if you just let them get on with it. And if you're paying by the hour, then it's likely that you'll end up spending more money in the long run.


So next time the cleaner comes, save yourself some time and money and just relax – they've got this!

Cleaning before the cleaner comes can make their job more difficult

Many people believe that they should clean their homes from top to bottom before the cleaner arrives. However, this can make the cleaners job more difficult. Cleaners are trained to clean methodically and efficiently, and they may not be able to do their job properly if the house is already cluttered. In addition, house cleaners typically bring their own supplies, so there is no need to worry about running out of cleaning products. Finally, remember that the cleaner is there to help you relax and enjoy your free time - so sit back and let them do their job!

So, if you're looking to save yourself some time and money, don't bother cleaning before a cleaner comes. Leave it to the professionals and let them do their job. And if you need help finding a professional cleaner who can meet your specific needs, leave me a comment below. I'd be more than happy to recommend one of my favourite cleaners in your area. Thanks for reading!
