How to prepare your property for exterior cleaning

Clear the work area

Move vehicles, patio furniture, toys, planters and other portable items away from the agreed cleaning area. Leave a clear path for equipment.

Check windows and exterior fittings

Close windows and doors. Point out damaged seals, loose siding, peeling paint, outdoor outlets and anything that needs particular care. Preparation is easier when issues are discussed ahead of time.

Discuss access and water

Confirm how the property can be accessed, whether a suitable outdoor water supply is available and how pets and people will be kept clear of the work area.

Tell us about sensitive surfaces

Mention fresh concrete, recent paint, sealers, delicate wood and any manufacturer cleaning requirements. The surface condition affects the method and timing.

Confirm the job together

Review the areas included, special concerns and appointment arrangements. A little planning helps make the visit straightforward.
