Finding Clients as a Solo Cleaner
If you’re self-employed and just starting, focus on simple and personal methods:
- Friends and family: Your first and most trusted clients. Ask for referrals.
- Local Facebook groups: Post offers and reply to cleaning requests in community groups.
- WhatsApp network: Share your services with neighbours and local contacts.
- Task platforms: Join apps like Cleanwich to access immediate jobs.
- Flyers and cards*: Distribute in local shops, cafés, and community boards.
