Define the service you need
Decide whether you need routine domestic cleaning, a deep clean, rental handover or a specialist task. List rooms, condition, priorities, furnishings, pets and access. Request ovens, windows, carpets and other add-ons as separate quote items.

Ask what environmental claims mean
If a provider describes products as eco-friendly, ask which products are used and what evidence supports the specific claim. Check the label, safety information, intended surfaces and disposal instructions. Do not assume a product is harmless or suitable for every surface because of a broad environmental description.
Compare quotes and terms
Review the task list, exclusions, price basis, supplies, timing, access, cancellation terms and how concerns are handled. Ask whether the quote is fixed or depends on site assessment. Reviews may be one input, but they do not replace written terms or confirming provider-specific claims.
Prepare the property and booking
Confirm authorised entry, secure valuables and confidential items, identify delicate materials and arrange pets. Tell the provider about product sensitivities and rooms that must remain closed. Confirm scope and timing in writing before the appointment.
