Cleaning

Pre-clean Anxiety

Do you feel stressed before the cleaner arrives?

The stress of tidying up before the cleaning starts is exhausting, but you're far from alone. The good news? There's a solution for everything.

You book a home cleaning service to free up time for other things, so let the specialist handle the whole job. It's perfectly fine to leave things as they are and simply add tidying time to your booking.

"Hemfrid starts by stripping the beds and putting on a wash. During the clean, they hang the laundry and finish by making the beds with freshly washed sheets. It takes just under an hour to wash and make the beds while they're already cleaning."

Tidying time

Cleaning is all about TIME. When estimating how long a clean will take, you can add time for extras such as making beds, changing bed linen, doing laundry, and ironing on top of the regular home clean. In the same way, you can add tidying time before the weekly clean begins. Whether it's kids or a partner you'd rather not chase after, we can factor in the time needed to tidy up before we start.

But how do you know where things go?

We're all pretty similar when it comes to everyday household habits:

  • Dirty dishes go in the dishwasher.

  • Clean glasses from the dishwasher go in the cabinet above the sink.

  • Plates in the overhead cabinet next to the glasses.

  • Knives in the knife block or second drawer.

  • Bowls in the large drawer near the oven.

  • Laundry detergent in the cabinet next to the washing machine.

  • Toothbrush in the cabinet above the bathroom sink.

  • Dirty clothes on the floor go in the laundry basket in the utility room.

  • Pens in the second or third kitchen drawer, or in a pen holder by the desk.

  • Toy figures in the right dollhouse or in the appropriate box in the children's room.

  • Tools under the stairs or in a small box in the utility room.

"The twins' playroom gives me anxiety, so we added a bit of tidying time so I can just relax and let Hemfrid take care of everything. It works brilliantly, and the kids love seeing their 'new room'."

Since you have a regular cleaner from Hemfrid, they get to know your home and what tends to be left out. After a few visits, they'll put things back in the right place almost as quickly as you would yourself. So next time you feel stressed before the clean, think instead about what else you'd like to take off your plate. Most things can be sorted.

"Our breakfast table looks like a bomb site after our four kids have eaten. It takes me half an hour to clear everything away, but every other Thursday, Hemfrid takes care of it. I put the perishables in the fridge and I'm out the door."
