What to Do if a Client Is Unhappy

Even great cleanings can lead to occasional client concerns. How you respond makes the difference between a lost client and a loyal one. Stay calm, professional, and focused on finding a solution.

Stay Calm and Listen

  • If a client isn’t satisfied, listen carefully and let them explain.

  • Avoid interrupting or getting defensive.

  • Example: “I appreciate your feedback. Can you let me know which areas you’re concerned about so I can address them?”

Clarify the Issue

  • Ask for details about what was missed or done incorrectly.

  • If it’s a misunderstanding, explain the difference between Standard Cleaning and Deep Cleaning.

  • Example: “Standard cleaning covers surface-level tasks, while deep cleaning includes inside appliances and cabinets. I can note that for next time.”

Offer a Solution

  • If it’s a quick fix, handle it on the spot.

  • If it requires more time, explain that it may need a rebooking.

  • If the client still isn’t happy, let them know Cleopatra support can help.

  • Example: “I’d be happy to go over this area again before I leave. Let me know what you’d like me to focus on.”
