What should I do before cleaners arrive?

• <div><p>If you’re hiring someone to clean an empty and tidy house before you move in, there’s little prep work to do. Make sure to discuss your goals with the cleaning service, arrange entry to the house, and communicate any problem areas or special requests. If you’ve already moved into the house, or if it’s messy, it’s best to complete the following tasks before the cleaners arrive:</p><ul><li><p>Declutter things like clothes, toys, or cardboard boxes</p></li><li><p>Do the dishes</p></li><li><p>Put fragile items in a safe spot where they can’t be accidentally broken</p></li><li><p>Keep pets away from cleaning areas</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What can you use instead of dishwasher pods?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t want to use dishwasher pods, you can use liquid or powder dishwasher detergent or dishwasher tablets. Alternatively, you can make a DIY dish detergent by putting two or three drops of liquid dishwashing soap in the dispenser and filling the rest with baking soda. You should never use laundry detergent, household all-purpose cleaners, or a full dispenser of liquid dish detergent.</p></div>

Q: Should I tip my house cleaner?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s customary to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tip-house-cleaners.htm">tip an individual cleaner</a> between 10% and 20% of the cost of cleaning. However, if you hire a group of cleaners or hire from a company that dispatches employees as a team, check the company website for information on tipping. Leave your tip in a prominent place with a note so your cleaners will notice it.</p></div>

Q: What is the best cleaner to remove soot?

• <div><p>The best cleaner to remove soot depends on the surface material and the type of fire, but consider dish soaps or degreasers, baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen. Low-oxygen fires often leave behind greasy soot, which is best removed with dish soaps or degreasers. Baking soda can be useful for absorbing soot deposits from carpets, followed by rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean the set-in stains.</p></div>

Q: What other items can I use to clean my acrylic tub?

• <div><p>Acrylic tubs are easy to clean with simple items you already have around the house. You can use dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, cream of tartar, or borax to clean an acrylic bathtub. Avoid mixing any household cleaners, including common ingredients like vinegar and bleach, as this can create toxic fumes. It&rsquo;s also best to start with a spot test of any cleaners you use.</p></div>
