Why book a clean before the baby comes
There is a reason "nesting" is a phrase. In the last month of pregnancy, the urge to have the house spotless before the baby arrives is real and understandable. The problem is that crawling under furniture and scrubbing skirting at 36 weeks pregnant is not realistic, and a partner trying to do it on top of work and sorting the nursery often runs out of time.
A one-off deep clean a few weeks before due date solves both problems. The house is properly clean from top to bottom, the kitchen and bathrooms are sanitised, and you walk into the first weeks at home with a baby without the background guilt of jobs you did not get to.
We do these regularly across Derby — Allestree, Mickleover and Chellaston in particular — for first-time parents who want everything sorted before the chaos starts.
What we focus on for pre-baby cleans
- The nursery
Wiped from ceiling down: light fittings, walls if needed, skirting, inside drawers and wardrobes. New furniture and paint can off-gas, so we use unscented products and ventilate well.
- Kitchen, with infant-safe products
Inside the oven, fridge, microwave and cupboards. Sterilising bottles and weaning food prep means a properly clean kitchen really matters in the first months.
- Bathrooms top to bottom
Limescale removed, mould treated, taps and tiles descaled, bath and shower scrubbed thoroughly. Anywhere a baby will eventually be bathed needs to be properly clean.
- Floors and soft furnishings
Hoovered (high-filter vacuums), mopped, and we can include carpet cleaning in the same visit if you want pet hair, dust mites and old marks dealt with before the baby is on the floor.
- Bedrooms and main living areas
Skirting, picture rails, light switches, door handles. The places that are easy to overlook but get touched constantly.
If you would rather have an ongoing cleaner once the baby is here, our regular cleaning visits work well for new parents who want one less thing to manage.
