Posting a cleaning job is easy. Writing one that actually gets fast, useful replies takes a few small choices. This guide shows you exactly what to include so the right cleaners respond quickly, whether you are in London, New York or Toronto.
TL;DR
A good cleaning job post is specific about the property, the frequency and the access, and it names a budget range. Post yours free on CQD New Gen and local cleaners come to you, with no agency fees and no commission.
Key facts
- Clear, specific posts get more replies than vague ones, because cleaners can self select instead of guessing.
- Naming a budget range filters out mismatches early and speeds up the whole process.
- Stating the frequency, one off, weekly or fortnightly, tells cleaners whether it fits their schedule.
- Posting on CQD New Gen is free right now, both sides, with no commission taken from the cleaner.
- There is no password to remember. You sign in with your email and a short code, so there is nothing to reset later.
Start with the property
Say what the space is and how big it is. Number of bedrooms and bathrooms, roughly the floor area if you know it, and whether it is a house, flat, condo or office. Add pets, stairs and parking, because those change how long a clean takes and who wants the job.
A cleaner reading a clear property line can picture the work straight away. A cleaner reading two vague sentences has to ask three questions before they can even quote.
Name the frequency and timing
Tell people whether you want a single deep clean or a recurring visit. If it is recurring, say weekly or fortnightly, and give a rough preferred day or time window. Short let hosts should state checkout and checkin times and how many changeovers per week, so turnaround specialists know it fits.
Give a budget range
You do not need an exact figure, but a range helps enormously. It tells cleaners you are serious, and it filters replies down to people who work at that level. If you are unsure, look at local rates first and post a range around them, then adjust once quotes come in.
Be clear about supplies and access
Say whether you provide cleaning supplies and equipment or expect the cleaner to bring their own. Then explain access. Is someone home, is there a key safe, is there a buzzer or a parking note. Access confusion is the most common reason a first visit goes wrong, and one line fixes it.
Post it free and let cleaners come to you
On CQD New Gen you publish the job and cleaners near you respond. You compare replies, pick the person who fits, and arrange the work directly. No middle layer takes a cut, so the money stays between you and the cleaner. It works the same in the UK, the US and Canada.
