It's like this: First impression is everything. When they pull up outside of your place, your yard, and the things within it, is going to give them an impression, idea, of how you live, what type of person you are.

The same thing for when they first set foot in your house, the initial appearance leads the way. It doesn't have to be spic & span, but it needs to look clean and fairly neat. Heck, I might even take a bath that week if I were you. Maybe. Ha! (Just trying to ease your mind with a grin, fella. )

If you've got cleaning chemicals on the bathroom counter beside your child's toothbrush, then yeah, you might oughta put 'em under the sink or in the closet before the investigator comes. But I don't know of any state, county or city that has a "child safety latches on cabinets" law.

Just tidy the place up a bit to make a good first impression and be nice & polite. Don't give 'em any reason to look for anything else.

Hang in there!
