House cleaning to country club cleaning it's all the same type of cleaning - just bigger, right? WHOA! Not so fast. BEFORE you bid on the job there are some serious questions that need answers. If you bid without knowing the scope of work you can over promise and undercharge. Heck, you might not even be covered by your insurance company if use commercial cleaning equipment you haven't been trained to use.
Here's some stuff to know to keep you from screwing up the bid.

Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsor is #SavvyCleaner training and certification for house cleaners and maids. (https://savvycleaner.com/join)
