Cleaners doing a "deep clean" while I'm in hospital?

I'm booked in to be induced my due date, and have asked our cleaners to come and do a big clean while I'm in the hospital. We have three DC already who will be at school/grandma's house so it would be nice to come home with the baby to a nice clean house!

But I'm not sure what to actually ask them to do?!

Anyone got any ideas?? All I can think of so far is wipe down the banister Blush

Can they not do a whole house deep clean? If so send them my way aswell!

Good luck. Smile

Mirrors, internal windows, lights, tiles, move and clean behind furniture, fridge? Door frames?

Celeste they said they'd do pretty much anything - I just can't think!

Thanks need. Ooh you're good!! Fridge was going to be a main one but I'm getting a new fridge delivered on Sunday so I'm hoping that'll still be clean by 8th of March?!

Skirting boards, under beds, inside kitchen cupboards, oven, major bathroom clean? Knowing I was coming home to a deep cleaned house would so make labour worth it!

Inside cupboards. Front of cupboards. Skirting boards. De-fungal (?) on inside shower. Oven. Light switches. All handles (door/drawer/wardrobes). Fixtures/fittings basically.

Avebury that's hilarious! I didn't think of it like that. Been saving up for this Blush skirting boards - definitely; they're pretty gross. Yes, inside cupboards too!! Oven - check.

RedRoses I'm noting all these down! Door handles is a good one - bet they're chocca with germs!!

Top of cupboards, wardrobes. Inside, top of kitchen cupboards. Oven. Dishwasher filter. Washing machine drawer. Bathroom- shower screen. Skirtings. Shampoo carpets? Windows and frames. Dust/ polish light fittings. Clean behind radiators. Steam clean soft furnishings eg sofa cushions, curtains?
(I'm currently nesting). Smile

Wash carpets if you have them. Makes your house look so new! Yes to bathroom, plus kitchen including cupboards.

Good luck with your birth and congratulations!

Windows?

Think everyone has ticked everything else off for you Grin

celeste83 · 24/02/2016 21:36

Toilets? Can't believe no one suggested that one!

BeautifulLiar · 24/02/2016 21:38

Haha no kidding Painted! I may have already cleaned the washing machine drawer in a nesting frenzy. No dishwasher or shower (well, shower over bath).

All the carpets are brand new more nesting so don't need cleaning. But can't believe I forgot the sofa!! It's a leather one, but has lots of crumbs and stuff within it... definitely needs a clean!!
