Best Services for Cleaning a Small, 1 Bedroom House:

If you have a small home and/or are looking for a focused cleaning of a couple rooms, the best option for you is probably a 1 hour cleaning.  In 1 hour, a pro can clean the basics of most of that space.  For example, in an hour a cleaner could typically complete:

• Vacuum/mop floors
• Dust all furniture
• Clean the toilet
• Clean the shower
• Get 1-2 other special tasks done

This list is just an example to give you a sense of what they can do.  You ultimately get to pick what they do, using your TIDY To Dos.

If you are looking for a deeper cleaning, a 2.5 hour cleaning is probably best, as it gives them more time to get into the details for you.  Here is an example of items an house cleaner can get to in that time:

• Everything of the TIDY, plus...
• Clean the stove
• Clean the oven
• Clean the microwave
• Clean the refrigerator
• Wash the dishes
• Make the bed
• Get into more detail on all items
• Plus up to 4 other special tasks done

Again, this is just an example, if your home is generally clean, they can get a lot more done!  If it needs a little extra love, then they can get less done.

You can also get a 4-8 hour cleaning done if you want the pros to get into meticulous detail.  This is also ideal for a move out cleaning.

Best Service for Cleaning a 2+ Bedroom House:

Larger homes can use the TIDY.  It is the same 1-hour service customized to you.  Again, the key to success for a TIDY is focusing on exactly what you want done.

The most popular service for average sized homes is the 2.5 hour job.  In 2.5 hours, a pros could likely get all rooms at least briefly, with some rooms done well.  The most typical rooms that someone gets done in a 2.5 hour job are:

Brief cleanings of:

• All bedrooms
• Guest bathrooms

Deeper cleanings of:

• Master bath
• Kitchen
• Living room
• Other common spaces

Again, these cleanings are focused on your needs during the timeframe.  So pick what gives you the biggest "bang for your buck".

4-8 hour cleanings are also common on larger homes, of 5+ bedrooms.  They are a good choice for someone who really wants a deep cleaning. This is enough time to get in good detail for most homes.  This is also the service choice for end of tenancy cleanings.

Tips to Preparing Your House for Cleaning

There are a couple of things you can do to maximize your cleaning with TIDY.

1. Make sure you get your most important items listed on your To Do list.
2. Make sure you set your Schedule Assurance settings as broadly as you can manage. The more times you set as available for the pro can come - the more reliably they will be able to serve your home.
3. Do a quick pass at organizing before they arrive. Pros can organize things for you. But generally speaking, you know best exactly where things go. Grab the most obvious things off the ground to give your pro more time to complete your important things. For example, say you want them to clean your house's floors. They are going to have to pick up your items first, so it will take some time away from doing that task.
4. Just ask! Most issues related to cleaning are communication-related. Just reach out if we can do anything to help make sure your cleaning is successful.
5. You can also easily leave clear directions and parking instructions for your cleaner if your home is hard to find.

Let the TIDY Concierge know if there is anything we can do to help!  We would love for you to pick a pro to for your House Cleaning Service.
