Clear clutter and plan the work
Remove ordinary rubbish, clear walkways and exits, make space for bags and identify the rooms guests will use. Work from higher surfaces to floors and leave enough time for damp areas to dry. Ventilate where safe and practical; do not use fragrance to mask persistent damp or chemical odours.
Refresh kitchens and bathrooms
Clean food-contact surfaces, sinks, taps, toilets, showers and mirrors with compatible products and according to labels. Keep chemicals separate, never mix products and keep children, pets and food away while cleaning. Appliance interiors and bins can be added if time and scope allow.
Prepare bedrooms and living areas
Wash linen according to care labels, dust reachable surfaces, vacuum suitable floors and arrange seating. Use care around electronics, delicate fabrics and timber. Test stain treatment in a hidden area where appropriate and do not assume old marks can be removed.
Make a final guest-ready check
Allow floors and fabrics to dry, check lighting and access, empty agreed bins and place clean towels where needed. If the home needs a broader reset, describe room count, condition and timing when requesting domestic cleaning.
