Secure Your Pets Before Cleaners Show

At Hambly & Sons, we love pets- the ones that love to lick your face, talk to you uniquely, gaze at you from afar, and everything in between. However, when pets notice strangers walking into their homes with tools and equipment they have never seen before, they can get curious, protective, or scared.

When preparing your home for cleaning, we ask that you safely secure all your pets to ensure their safety and that of our crew. You should keep your pets in a safe, secure room with their favorite toys, food, water, and treats. You may also want to put on their favorite show or movie to help calm their nerves while your home gets a fantastic clean.

Additionally, you may require a more extensive cleaning or restoration after a disaster. In that case, we recommend arranging for a pet sitter to care for your furry companions while our team focuses on cleaning your rooms or restoring your property.

Declutter Your Home and Put Away Valuables

The last thing our cleaners and clients want is to step on your belongings while cleaning your property. Before our crew arrives, we kindly request that you remove any loose objects, such as clothing, toys, and other miscellaneous items, to enable us to navigate through each room easily and provide a thorough cleaning you’ll love.

Moreover, ensure that fragile, essential, and dear mementos are collected and stored securely. This will allow our crew to focus on your satisfaction and provide peace of mind.

Clear a Path and Move Furniture (If You Can)

Hambly & Sons wants to give your home or business a thorough and proper cleaning so that all your guests will discuss how fantastic everything looks. To get a comprehensive clean, we ask that you move or shift furniture to give our cleaners the best angles to reach hard-to-reach places and build a path for us to navigate easily.

We suggest moving minor pieces of furniture, such as chairs and side tables, out of the room while shifting larger sections of furniture away from walkways to get a thorough cleaning.
