Giving a Home-Cleaning Visit as a Valentine's Day Gift

People differ in how they feel about visitors, home access and cleaning help. Ask before sharing an address, scheduling a visit or handling personal belongings.

Domestic, deep, carpet, oven and end-of-lease cleaning are different services. Confirm whether the provider serves the address and whether the requested tasks can be booked.

Check the voucher or booking value, expiry, cancellation terms, accepted tasks and any amount the recipient may need to pay. Confirm the price, access arrangements and who can reschedule.

Provide access instructions only with the recipient's permission. Agree on pets, preferred products, restricted rooms and valuables before the appointment; never assume a cleaner will sort or dispose of personal items.
