A little preparation before your scheduled cleaning goes a long way toward ensuring the best results and a smooth, efficient experience.
Whether you live in Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, or anywhere in South Bay, these steps only take a few minutes — but they make a huge difference in the quality and speed of our work.
Clear clutter from surfaces
Take a few moments to remove everyday clutter from:
- Countertops
- Tables
- Desks
This allows our team to focus on deep cleaning, not tidying up, so you get the most out of your booking.
Note: If your home is very cluttered, there may be an extra charge for organization.
Protect valuable and fragile items
While our cleaners are trusted professionals, it’s always smart to:
- Store jewelry, cash, and important documents in a safe place
- Move delicate décor or heirlooms out of the way
This extra step protects your belongings and gives you peace of mind.
Organize personal items
Put away:
- Clothing
- Toys
- Hygiene products
Pre-organization ensures our cleaners can work efficiently and complete your service within the allotted time. It also helps avoid extra charges for extended cleaning.
Provide access and instructions
Please make sure we can enter your home easily by:
- Sharing keys or access codes ahead of time
- Informing us about any gate codes or special entry details
If there are specific areas that need special attention — or areas to avoid — let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Remove small obstacles
Moving a few lightweight items helps us reach every corner:
- Small rugs
- Floor lamps
- Side tables
This simple step makes for a more comprehensive cleaning.
Understand Our Arrival Window
At Flash Guys Cleaning, we respect your time:
- Morning appointments (8–9 AM) are the most precise and punctual.
- For later times, we have an arrival window of up to 2 hours due to traffic and daily variables.
- Example: If your cleaning is booked for 1 PM, our team may arrive by 3 PM.
- We will always text you your estimated time of arrival (ETA) on the day of service.
Be aware of time limits and extra cleaning
Our flat rates include a set time limit based on your home’s size.
If we encounter:
- Excessive dirt
- Heavy buildup
- Unexpected clutter
There may be additional charges, or certain areas may be left incomplete due to time constraints.
