Building work can transform your home, but it can also leave behind an incredible amount of dust, even when the work has been completed carefully.

Fine dust has a habit of travelling far beyond the room where the work took place. It can settle on furniture, skirting boards, doors, windowsills and floors, sometimes continuing to reappear after the initial clean.

If you’re already one of my regular clients, you might wonder whether I can help during your usual cleaning appointment. The answer is: possibly, depending on the type and amount of dust left behind, but I don’t provide specialist post-building cleans.

If you've never had a cleaner before, you're not alone if you've wondered..."Do I need to tidy before they arrive?" It's one of the questions I'm asked most often, and the answer usually surprises people. No, you don't need to clean before your cleaner comes.

After all, that's what you've booked me for!

That said, there are a few small things that can help me spend more time cleaning and less time moving things around. Here's what I'd recommend.

If you live with pets, you'll know that pet hair has a special talent for appearing absolutely everywhere.

You vacuum the floor, turn around, and somehow there's already another tumbleweed of fur drifting across the room.

Whether you share your home with a shedding Labrador, a long-haired cat, or a house rabbit, pet hair is simply part of the package. The good news is that keeping it under control doesn't have to mean constantly cleaning.

Here are some simple ways to reduce pet hair build-up between cleans and keep your home feeling fresher for longer.

What exactly is included in a regular clean?

The answer can vary between cleaning companies, but here's what is typically included in my regular weekly and fortnightly cleaning visits at Adulting Is Hard Cleaning.

When looking for a cleaner, it's tempting to compare hourly rates and choose the cheapest option. But the reality is that there's often much more behind the scenes than the hours spent in your home.

Keeping on top of your home can feel like a never-ending cycle…
You clean, it looks great for approximately 7 minutes, and then somehow the crumbs, dust and random stuff are back again.

If you’re based in Liverpool and thinking about getting a cleaner, you might be wondering:
“How often do I actually need one?”

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one asking this. Let’s break it down 💜

Booking your first clean can feel a bit unknown. How long will it take? What actually gets done? And will it be worth it?
