Frequently Asked Questions
How do you write a quote for a cleaning job?
To write a professional cleaning quote, you must include your business contact info, the client's details, an itemized list of services (like number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and deep cleaning add-ons), the total price, and clear payment terms. While you can use Excel or Word, modern cleaners use software like QuoteNest to automate this process in 30 seconds.
Should I send my quote as a PDF or text message?
Direct messaging gets a 98% open rate compared to email, making it the best way to deliver quotes. However, sending a raw text message looks unprofessional. The best strategy is to send a professional link via WhatsApp to a personalized quote page. This gives you the speed of instant messaging with the professional status of an itemized invoice.
What is the fastest way to calculate a house cleaning price?
The fastest way is using a fixed-rate pricing model based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and total square footage. Instead of doing manual math on a calculator, QuoteNest allows you to simply drag sliders on your phone, and the AI automatically calculates the exact price based on your pre-set rates.
