Are there any house cleaners/Housekeepers/Maids using Square?

Hi I'm Victoria, I own Victorias House Cleaning LLC, a Chicagoland house cleaner. I started only 6 months ago and was recommended squareapp by a Cleaning content creator named Carly. I Have been curious if there are other cleaners using square that we can share tips and tricks.

 

Look forward to connecting, 

Love, 

Victoria

Iโ€™m not a house cleaner, but I can think of a few Square features that might help you.

  • Subscriptions โ€“ You could set up recurring billing so clients sign up for a package, like โ€œ10 cleans for X dollars.โ€

  • Recurring Invoices โ€“ Great for your regular customers who expect consistent billing.

  • House Accounts โ€“ Let clients sign for services and bill them later if that fits your model.

  • Square Marketing โ€“ Useful for building your client list and reaching people who only book a cleaning once in a while.

And if your client base grows large enough, you could even bring on someone as an independent contractor and assign them some of your clients.

 

I would make sure you have tap to pay enabled or have the square dip/chip reader for all payments..don't use swipe if you can help.  Just safer for you on chargebacks.  I would even look at getting a square terminal with a printer if you want receipts, but that is an outlier.

Just some thoughts that might help!

Hey Victoria ๐Ÿ‘‹โœจ

Welcome and congrats on starting your cleaning bizโ€”6 months in is huge! ๐ŸŽ‰ Squareโ€™s definitely a solid choice for keeping things smooth and organized (and Carly gives great tips). Youโ€™ll find quite a few cleaners, organizers, and other service-based folks hereโ€”weโ€™ve all had to figure out little tricks for things like recurring invoices, deposits, and scheduling.

Would love to swap ideas with youโ€”always something new to learn when it comes to running the business side of cleaning ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’ช. Youโ€™re in the right place!
