Housekeepers: first visit and deep clean with online booking

How domestic housekeepers can book a first visit and deep clean online: longer first slots, details in the note, then regular visits booked from your list.

5 min read

The first time in a new home takes longer: you don't know the rooms, the products the client prefers or how much needs doing. A deep clean or a first visit sets the base before regular cleaning starts. With Book, new clients book a first visit or deep clean on your own booking page, and you book the regular visits that follow from your list.

First visit and deep clean services

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price
Meet and walk-through30 min1Free
Deep clean, flat up to 60 m²4 h1€120
Deep clean, house6 h1€180
End of tenancy clean6 h1€200

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Say in each description what's included, such as inside the oven or windows, and whether you bring products.

Details in the note

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask for the address, the size of the home, pets, and any rooms to skip. Don't ask for door codes or key locations in the note: arrange them by phone.

Long slots and your week

A deep clean takes a morning or a full day. Open one or two deep-clean slots a week, on days without regular rounds, so new clients don't push out existing ones. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, and a booked slot leaves your page.

Two people on one job

If you clean as a pair, the booking still takes one place: one home, one slot. Say in the description that two people come for deep cleans.

Regular visits afterwards

After the deep clean, agree a weekly or fortnightly day and book the visits yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each visit. See the guide on regular cleaning visits.

Changes

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so tell them yourself.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't take payments, issue invoices or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with a team, create services per cleaner. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.

Can new clients book a deep clean online?
Yes. Create a deep clean service with long slots.
How do I set up regular visits after?
Book them yourself from your bookings list.
Can I ask about pets and rooms?
Yes, in the booking note.
Should clients put key details in the note?
No. Arrange keys and codes by phone.
