Frequently Asked Questions
How should I price cleaning services?
Most cleaning companies price by square footage ($0.05-0.15/sq ft) or flat rate per room/home size. Factor in the condition, frequency, and any special requirements. Recurring clients should get a lower per-visit rate than one-time bookings.
Should I bring my own supplies?
Most professional cleaning services bring their own supplies and include the cost in pricing. This ensures consistent quality and avoids liability issues with client-provided products. Some eco-conscious clients prefer to provide their own green products.
How do I handle damage claims?
Carry liability insurance (general liability and bonding at minimum). Document the condition of the space before cleaning. Address claims promptly and professionally. Having insurance protects both you and the client.
