🚩🚩 LOOKING FOR A HOUSE CLEANER? WATCH FOR THIS RED FLAG. 🚩🚩
If you're looking for a recurring house cleaner, pay attention to how often the same cleaning company is advertising for new clients.
Here's why.
Recurring house cleaning is a little different from most service businesses because the job doesn't end.
When a cleaner takes on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly client, that spot can stay filled indefinitely. There isn't a project completion date. There isn't a point where the job is simply “done.”
Of course, clients do leave for completely normal reasons. People move. Finances change. Jobs change. Schedules change. Sadly, sometimes clients pass away. And sometimes a cleaner and client simply aren't a good fit anymore.
So yes — good cleaners occasionally have openings.
Growing companies may also advertise because they're adding employees and intentionally taking on more clients.
But if you continually see the same established cleaning company advertising all over Facebook looking for recurring clients, that's something worth paying attention to.
🚩 Why are those spots constantly opening back up?
Because in this industry, getting a new client is only half the story.
Keeping them is what matters.
Most of my clients have been with me for years. When you've built a schedule full of long-term clients, openings don't happen every week.
So when you're researching a house cleaner, don't only ask:
“How soon can you start?”
Ask how long they've been in business. Read their reviews. Look at how long clients stay with them. Ask for references.
And don't automatically assume that the cleaner who can start tomorrow is the best choice — or that the cleaner telling you they're booked out is blowing you off.
Sometimes having to wait for a really good cleaner is actually a pretty damn good sign. 😉🧹✨
A good house cleaner doesn't just GET clients.
They KEEP them.
