Here’s a guide to help you get your home ready for an exterior house cleaning service.


  • Clear the Area – Start by removing any obstacles around your home’s exterior. Move garden furniture, potted plants, and decorations away from walls and walkways to help prevent damage to these items and ensure that the cleaning crew has unobstructed access to all areas.
  • Close Windows and Doors – Ensure all windows and doors are tightly closed and locked. This can stop water and cleaning solutions from seeping into your home, which could cause damage or leave residue. Additionally, make sure that any vents or openings are properly sealed to avoid any issues.
  • Communicate With the Cleaning Service – Before our professionals make their way to your home, provide them with any special instructions or concerns you might have. This includes informing them about sensitive areas or any specific spots that may need some extra attention.


By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your home is well-prepared for an exterior house cleaning service, leading to better results and a more efficient cleaning process. Clean exteriors not only enhance your home’s curb appeal but also contribute to its long-term maintenance and value!
