Free House Cleaner
Service Agreement
Stop wasting your energy on the emotional toll of manual collections and reclaim your time for the actual work that grows your business.
Pro Contractor Tip
Your service agreement should explicitly state that a 30-day delinquency triggers an automatic stop-work order, protecting you from providing uncompensated labor.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a House Cleaner, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle the awkwardness of asking a regular client for money without losing the job?
The best way to remove the awkwardness is to remove the human element. By using a digital Dunning Engine, automated robots handle the escalating reminders on a set schedule. This positions the 'system' as the enforcer, allowing you to maintain a friendly, service-oriented relationship while the software handles the firm financial boundaries.
When is the right time to actually stop showing up if a client hasn't paid?
Consistency is key to professional respect. A digital Dunning Engine can be programmed to trigger a 'stop-work' notification exactly on Day 30. This ensures you aren't burning gas and labor on a non-paying account, and it communicates to the client that your services are a professional commodity, not a favor.
What should I do if a client claims they never received my manual emails?
Manual emails are easily lost or ignored. An automated Dunning Engine provides a digital paper trail with delivery logging. When the process is automated, the frequency and professional tone of the reminders make it much harder for a client to claim oversight, significantly increasing your chances of getting paid without a confrontation.
