Make surfaces easy to reach

Put away loose paperwork, clothes and children’s toys where practical. Clear kitchen worktops of anything that does not need to stay out. This gives more time for wiping, dusting and floor care.

Share your priorities

Mention any room that needs extra attention and anything that should not be moved or cleaned. If your priorities change from one visit to the next, a quick message beforehand is helpful.

Plan access and supplies

Agree how Zoia will enter if you are out, and make sure pets are comfortable and secure. If particular products or equipment will be used, keep them together in an accessible place.

Finally, there is no need to make everything perfect. The purpose of booking a cleaner is to make your week easier.
