How to text a cleaning quote in 30 seconds

The fastest quote usually wins the job. Send the price, what's included, when you can start, and one easy way to say yes. Do it within the hour, by text, not as a PDF attachment.

Standard clean

Hi Sarah, thanks for reaching out! For a 3-bed, 2-bath home every two weeks, it's $140 per visit. That covers kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, floors and making beds. First visit is a deep clean at $220. I have openings next Tuesday or Thursday morning. Want me to hold one for you?

Move-out clean

Hi Tom, a move-out clean for your 2-bed apartment is $260, including inside the oven, fridge and cabinets, and baseboards. I can do Saturday the 2nd so you're ready for the walkthrough. Reply YES and I'll lock it in.

When you need to see it first

Hi Ana, thanks! Homes your size usually run $150 to $190 per visit depending on condition. I can stop by for a free 10-minute look on Wednesday at 5 or Thursday at 9 and give you an exact price on the spot. Which works?

What to include every time

1. The price, as one number or a tight range.
2. What's included, in one line.
3. Two specific times you can start.
4. A yes-or-no question at the end.
