Hiring a professional cleaning service is a game-changer—it saves you time, reduces stress, and keeps your home looking its best. But did you know there are certain things most house cleaning companies won’t clean? 🧐

Inspired by Southern Living’s guide, we’re breaking down what professional cleaners typically avoid and why. Plus, we’ll share how Tidy Bird Cleaning Co. makes booking easy with our Instant Quote tool! 🚀✨


1️⃣ Biohazards – Nope!

What’s off-limits? Blood, bodily fluids, pet waste, mold, and anything that could pose a health risk.

Why? Standard house cleaners aren’t trained or equipped to handle biohazards safely. If you need help with these, it’s best to call in a specialized cleaning service.

2️⃣ High or Hard-to-Reach Areas

What’s off-limits? Tall ceilings, ceiling fans, and anything requiring a ladder higher than 2 steps.

Why? Safety first! Most cleaning companies don’t carry special equipment for high spaces, and liability issues make it risky. If you need help with hard-to-reach dust, consider hiring a handyman or specialty service.

3️⃣ Heavy Lifting & Moving Furniture

What’s off-limits? Moving large couches, beds, or heavy appliances to clean underneath.

Why? Cleaners focus on tidying and sanitizing—not heavy lifting! Moving large items can damage floors or cause injury, so it’s best to clear these areas before your cleaner arrives.

4️⃣ Outdoor Cleaning

What’s off-limits? Windows, gutters, patios, and pressure washing.

Why? Most house cleaners specialize in indoor cleaning. For deep outdoor cleaning, it’s better to hire a window-washing or power-washing company.

5️⃣ Personal & Valuable Items

What’s off-limits? Jewelry, cash, important documents, and delicate antiques.

Why? Cleaners are not responsible for lost or damaged valuables. To keep your items safe, always store them in a secure place before your cleaning appointment.
