You would be surprised at how many homes we visit that really aren\u2019t ready for us to clean. So we thought it might be helpful to post some things to do before we show up at your door for your green house cleaning. You\u2019ll be happy to know that cleaning before we come to clean isn\u2019t on the list!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clear the clutter<\/strong> \u2013 If you like to leave everything out where you can see it, you will make our jobs more difficult because we will have to clean around it. We might not be able to get to the surface all the things are sitting on, especially if we\u2019re talking piles of papers or other stackable things.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Empty the sink <\/strong>\u2013 It may sound obvious, but many people forget that we clean sinks. If there are dirty dishes there, we\u2019ll have to move the dishes, clean the sink and then replace the dishes. We like to leave places looking clean, so if we have to put dirty dishes back into the sink, it just doesn\u2019t look clean!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick up dirty clothes <\/strong>\u2013 This also sounds obvious, but if you\u2019re used to tossing your dirty clothes on the floor, you might not think anything about picking up before we show up. However, like clutter on tables or counters, we can\u2019t completely clean the floor if dirty clothes cover it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick up toys <\/strong>\u2013 OK, this is like the clothes issue. While we can work around toys, it\u2019s so much easier if you pick them up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put away anything you don\u2019t want us to see <\/strong>\u2013 This can include mail, bills, receipts and other items that you would prefer to keep private. We\u2019re not looking for private items, but if we\u2019re cleaning and they\u2019re out, we\u2019ll see them. This protects you and us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do tell us if we\u2019re doing a good job or where we can improve <\/strong>\u2013 This is a little off-topic, but we like to know if we\u2019re doing things to your satisfaction. It feels good to hear that we are, and if not, we\u2019ll do what we can to make you happy. Feedback is always good!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By tidying up before we come over, you ensure that your home gets the best and deepest cleaning it possibly can. We certainly can and will clean these things for you, but they will add additional time and cost to your final bill. We want the process to be as simple and easy as possible, after all, that\u2019s why you hired Better Life Maids.<\/p>\n<p>About Better Life Maids<\/p>\n<p>Better Life Maids is a green house cleaning service founded in St. Louis, MO.
