Your first cleaning visit: exactly what to expect

By Yalanda Wilson, owner — Havens Touch Housekeeping

A first visit runs like this: you text your details and get a flat quote, we agree on a day and entry, we arrive with all supplies and equipment, most jobs run inside a 9-to-3 window, and you come home to done — backed by a satisfaction guarantee if anything isn't right.

Before the visit

The quote happens by text: beds, baths, city, what you need — photos help. You'll get a flat number and a realistic window, usually within a day. Entry is whatever you're comfortable with: home, a code, a lockbox, a neighbor. Most clients aren't home, and that's normal.

Prep worth doing: put away things you'd rather we not decide about (papers, valuables) and note anything off-limits. Prep NOT worth doing: cleaning before the cleaner. Tidying so we can reach surfaces helps; scrubbing defeats the purpose of hiring us.

During the visit

We bring everything — supplies and equipment. If you want a specific product used (a favorite floor cleaner, a no-bleach rule, a scent), leave it out with a note and it's your product we'll use. Most homes start around 9 and finish by 3; deep cleans use the fuller window. You'll hear from us when we're wrapping up.

After — and the guarantee

Walk the home. If anything isn't right, say so within a day and we come make it right — that's the 100% satisfaction guarantee, and it's been the promise since 2021. First visits are also where we learn your home: the second visit is always faster and sharper than the first.

Questions people ask

Do I need to be home?
No — most clients aren't. We'll set an entry arrangement you're comfortable with and let you know when we're done.
What about pets during the visit?
Tell us who lives there and what they prefer — gated, crated, or supervising the whole visit works. We'll follow your lead on the door rules.
