How to make a before and after cleaning record

Use matched views so the before and after condition is easy to compare.

Short answer: Take the before and after photos from roughly the same positions and include wide views before close details.

Simple sequence

  1. Choose repeatable camera positions
  2. Take wide before photos
  3. Add close details only where useful
  4. Repeat the same views after cleaning

Keep these together

  • Matched room views
  • Specific problem areas
  • Completion views
  • Any agreed checklist

What to avoid

Do not rely on extreme lighting changes or filters that make comparisons misleading.

Keep notes factual. If you are unsure about a date, cause or sequence, mark that uncertainty instead of filling the gap with a guess.
