How to get your first cleaning clients
Start with people who already know you, focus on a small patch to cut travel, answer enquiries fast, and ask every happy client for a review and referral.
A 30-day plan
| Week | Focus |
|---|---|
| 1 | Insurance, templates, Google Business Profile, leaflet |
| 2 | Tell 30 people you know; local groups; first leaflet drop |
| 3 | Fast replies, walk-rounds, written quotes; second drop |
| 4 | Deliver to checklist; ask for reviews and referrals; approach letting agents |
Don't underprice to get started. It's hard to raise prices for clients who chose you for being cheap.
