Process
How booking a cleaner works
The process is deliberately simple: describe the property, agree the scope, confirm the price guidance and make the access instructions clear.
A short enquiry can save a long conversation later. The most useful messages explain what kind of clean is needed, what the property is like and whether the booking is tied to a deadline such as a tenancy checkout, guest arrival or office opening time.
The booking should also separate essential tasks from tasks that would be useful only if time allows. That distinction matters in London homes where access, parking, stairs, lifts and furnished rooms can all affect how much can be done properly in one visit.
- Send property and service details.
- Agree priorities and optional extras.
- Confirm indicative price and appointment time.
- Prepare access, products and priority notes.
- Review whether another visit is needed.
| Stage | What happens | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry | You send the practical details. | The quote starts from facts, not assumptions. |
| Scope | The priority rooms and extras are agreed. | The cleaner knows where to spend time first. |
| Appointment | Access and timing are confirmed. | Less time is lost at arrival. |
| Review | You decide whether follow-up cleaning is needed. | Recurring work can be planned sensibly. |
What makes a brief useful
A useful brief says more than ‘general clean’. It might say: one bathroom has limescale, the kitchen floor needs more time, the spare room can be skipped, and the customer would rather have the oven quoted separately. That level of detail helps the cleaner make good decisions.
