Cleaning is one of the most watched things on social media. The trick for a cleaning business is turning that attention into local bookings, without showing anything a client wouldn't want seen.

Myth or fact?
"Carpets dry in an hour"

How we look after your keys
Coded tags, a locked safe, signed out and back in.
(04)What not to post
What a cleaning business should never post
- Anything that shows whose home it is: addresses, post, family photos, a view from the window.
- Keys, key tags, alarm panels or door codes.
- Clients' belongings or the state of their home, even anonymously, without permission.
- Mixing chemicals for a dramatic video: some combinations are dangerous, and people copy what they see.
- Claims you can't back up, such as "kills 100% of germs" or a guarantee you don't actually offer.

Questions
(05)Questions
Satisfying before-and-afters, practical tips, the people on your team, and simple reasons to book: free slots, areas covered and an instant quote. Always with clients' permission and nothing that identifies their home.
They bring attention; your page turns it into bookings. Pair satisfying videos with where you work, how to get a quote, and proof you're insured and checked.
Only with their clear permission, and keep anything that identifies the home or its owners out of shot. Many cleaners film close-ups only: an oven door, a tap, a tile.
