Here are some of the things we WILL NOT BE DOING when we dust your home:
open doors or cabinets unless we know you want us to ​

get out a special cleaner or for some other reason. We do open everything when doing a move-in or move-out clean​

​

look through your mail, papers, receipts, bills, etc.
 

rearrange papers, CDs and such on desks, not even  to neaten them (unless you ask us to)
 

use any cleaner on your piano, leather furniture, or other objects unless you ask us to (we use a dry cloth only)
 

pick up or clean in the close vicinity of collections, collectibles  and other expensive, fragile, or non-replaceable  treasures
 

dust your smoke alarms or water sprinklers - they are easy to activate
