Cleaning service review reply templates

Cleaning reviews are visual — the reviewer has photographic memory of the one thing you missed. Replies work best when they name that thing back, own it, and offer a specific comeback.

2. Missed spots

Review

"Skirting boards weren't touched."

Reply

"Hi Sam — skirting boards are on our standard checklist and it's a miss. We'll send a team back this week at no charge. Email hello@ourcleaners.com to book. — Ellie"

3. Damaged item

Review

"Broke a lamp and never mentioned it."

Reply

"Hi Chris — a broken item that isn't flagged is a serious failure. Please email hello@ourcleaners.com with a photo and I'll process a replacement personally. — Ellie, owner"

4. No-show

Review

"Cleaner never turned up."

Reply

"Hi Jamie — a no-show is unacceptable. From this month every job is tracked live and we escalate at the 15-minute mark. Please email hello@ourcleaners.com so I can rebook and refund. — Ellie"

5. Deep-clean under-delivered

Review

"Booked a deep clean, feels like a standard."

Reply

"Hi Nadia — a deep clean that reads as a standard is a scope failure. Please email hello@ourcleaners.com and I'll send a supervisor round to walk the property with you. — Ellie"

6. Rescheduling

Review

"Rescheduled twice in one month."

Reply

"Hi Alex — two reschedules is disruptive and not the standard. I've assigned you a fixed team from next month. Email hello@ourcleaners.com to confirm. — Ellie"

FAQ

Should a cleaning service offer a free re-clean in a public reply?
Yes, when the miss is clearly a checklist item. Offering nothing on a legitimate miss reads worse than the miss itself.
How to handle damage claims in public?
Take responsibility for reviewing it, route to email, never dispute in public. Your insurance and complaint policy will handle the rest.
