Prompts for Cleaning services
Cleaning is sold before anyone lifts a cloth: the quote, the expectations, the access notes, and the reply when a client says you missed a spot. These prompts write the quote questions, the crew notes and the complaint replies. They cannot estimate a job they have not seen, and they never promise a stain will come out. What counts as clean, which chemicals are safe on a surface, and what protective measures apply stay with your own procedures and product labels.
