Garden Apartment - Cleaned and Prepared for Guests

• Project Name: Intensive Cleaning of a 3-Bedroom Apartment

• Location: Canh Vien Apartment Complex, Ho Chi Minh City

• Objective: Optimize cleaning time to create a polished first impression upon arrival, by focusing on key reception areas without disrupting pre-event activities.

Project context

Ms. N's apartment has an area of ​​120m² and is cleaned and tidied regularly.

However, prior to an important reception, the homeowner wanted the space to be neat, clean, and tidy from the moment guests entered . Therefore, this wasn't a thorough cleaning of the entire apartment, but rather a selective cleaning focused on the visitor experience.

The requirements are as follows:

• Time is limited

• No need to spread the work across all areas.

• Prioritize spaces that make a strong first impression on guests.

Therefore, for occasions like hosting guests or holidays, Plumora typically begins with a short, free survey to identify priority areas, rather than applying a fixed cleaning package to the entire client.

Specific issues

Not enough time to do a thorough cleaning.

With an area of ​​120m²:

• A thorough cleaning will take a long time.

• Some areas do not directly affect the guest experience.

The homeowner needs a solution that is quick but focused , rather than one that involves a lot of work but is ineffective.

We need to prioritize the areas that are "eye-catching."

On occasions when receiving guests:

• The living room is the area that makes the first impression.

• Kitchens and dining areas easily retain odors and traces of daily life.

• The bedroom needs to be tidy, but not overly cluttered.

If forces are spread too thin, key areas are likely to be handled inadequately.

Cleaning without disrupting daily life.

The homeowner still needs to use the apartment during the preparation period:

• It is not possible to unload all the furniture.

• Do not want chemical odors to linger.

• Don't want to feel like your house is "turned upside down" before your next guest.

Plumora's approach and handling

Clearly define priority areas from the outset.

During the site survey, Plumora and the homeowner agreed on the following order:

1. Living room

2. Kitchen and dining area

3. Master Bedroom

Other areas received only basic treatment, ensuring an overall neat appearance.

Focus on meticulously refining the details that could easily lead to a loss of points.

The team focuses on:

• High-contact surfaces: tables, handles, sofas

• Flooring for common areas

• The kitchen area is prone to grease and odor buildup.

This method noticeably cleans the space without requiring extensive intervention .

Control time and odor after cleaning.

The entire process has been adjusted to:

• Completed within a short timeframe

• Fast-drying surface

• Prevent chemical odors from lingering.

The homeowner can arrange and prepare to receive guests immediately after completion .

The result after completion

• The living room is cleaner, tidier, and brighter.

• The kitchen area is free of household odors.

• A tidy and comfortable bedroom

• The overall space is ready to welcome guests without giving the feeling of being "just cleaned."

Plumora learned from this project.

Regarding the projects prior to the reception:

• No need to clean everything

• The important thing is to do it in the right place at the right time.

• Prioritize the feeling of entering the home over the number of items to be treated.
