Exact Times or a Range for Cleaning?

Exact times or a range when you schedule cleaning appointments with customers? Exact times work best. The world runs off a calendar and you can’t keep a roster of accounts if you keep showing up late.
Do your inventory the night before and keep your cleaning caddy prepared in advance. Work from a timetable and practice time management. Be on time for work and clients will refer more jobs to you. Start and end a job on time.

House Keys, House Cleaners & Security Codes

Systems / By Angela Brown

House keys. Should you give house cleaners house keys or security codes? And what happens if the house cleaner loses the clients key?

House keys are a common topic in house cleaning FAQ forums. Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says a checklist for customer keys and a lockbox are a good idea. Every maid can have a private “cleaners code” to disarm the security alarm. And when they leave, they lock the house using their alarm code.

If you trust the house cleaner with a key you can avoid lockout fees and skipped maid service.
