Hermione didn't much like to ask Kreacher to help -- it went against much of what she stood for as a witch and as a human being! However, she knew that the house elf couldn't help but clean her flat sometimes, when he got bored with Harry's, and on this occasion she actually welcomed it. Though it had taken years for her and Fleur to get along, Hermione now trusted her deeply despite their many differences. Fleur, of course, was also extremely critical, so Hermione prepared for their get-together at length.
After reluctantly asking Harry to ask Kreacher to clean both her flat and Hogsmeade Reads (she knew that Kreacher wouldn't take well to being asked to do something, though, and that Harry would likely end up ordering him to do it), Hermione applied the last of her hair potion and went to her closet to choose an outfit. She did always make an effort when she saw Fleur, but she couldn't quite stop herself from choosing an
extremely loud jumper to wear over black trousers. And she finished putting her hair back just in time for her to be able to meet Fleur at her door right away.
