7 easy steps to get the right cleaning job
When it comes to cleaning and janitorial, you know what you're doing and have experience, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for you to draw attention to your service? We show you how to get more cleaning jobs in seven steps and use our platform for your acquisition.
Introduce yourself as a domestic cleaner
Creating an expressive profile on Homeservice24 is the first step. The most important components of a profile include a profile picture (or for your company a logo or a team photo), a description of the services offered and a personal introduction text. In this text, you should state whether you are a self-employed cleaner, a cleaner on a minor employment or a cleaning company. For employers it is helpful to know on which basis you would like to be paid.
Choosing the right hourly rate
You decide by yourself what hourly rate you want to get. Small tip: It is best to base your hourly rate on the hourly rates of other domestic cleaners in your region. This will keep you competitive. How much can I earn with Homeservice24?

First contact
If a job offer meets your expectations, do not hesitate. Write to the client and mention specific offers such as "efficient and thorough work" and write on what basis you would like to be paid. Also list out what is included in each cleaning. This way a potential customer can get a better impression of your work.
Actually a matter of course: as a cleaner, always remain friendly and professional. It often makes sense to ask if you can call briefly to introduce yourself in an initial one-on-one meeting.
Be persistent
Clients often receive several applications. Therefore, it happens that one or the other message remains unanswered. Please ask again. If you do not receive an answer, do not give up, but simply apply for the next suitable cleaning job. If you receive a rejection, ask why. Maybe your arguments were not yet convincing enough or the price was too high?
In any case, it is worth adjusting your profile and keeping it always up to date.
Get positive reviews of your work
The final step: You have now completed the first cleaning job or already several jobs to the client's complete satisfaction? Then have your work evaluated. To do this, you can easily submit a rating request on Homeservice24.
Positive reviews create trust and give your profile more attention. Five stars are the best way to get more cleaning jobs. Therefore, be sure to use the possibility of external reviews as well. Send the rating link to two former customers and get feedback for your good work.
