Private Home Cleaning sends text messages from (941) 957-9011 only to people who agree to receive them. Texts are optional and are never required to get an estimate or book a cleaning.
1. What We Text
- Estimate updates: for people who request an estimate on our website and check the texting box, about their estimate and scheduling their first visit.
- Service updates: for booked clients who agreed to texts, such as appointment reminders, schedule changes and when your crew is on the way.
- Staff alerts: a short alert to our own business phone when a new estimate request arrives.
We do not send marketing or promotional texts.
2. How to Agree to Texts
A. On Our Website
Our estimate form (the same form is on our Contact Us page) has an optional checkbox, unchecked by default, labeled "Text me about my estimate (optional)". The text under the box reads:
By checking this box, you agree to get text messages from Private Home Cleaning about your estimate and, once you book, service updates like your schedule and arrival times. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Texts are not required to get an estimate. We never sell your number or share it for marketing.
You can send the form without checking the box. We text only people who check it. This is how the form looks:
B. By Phone
When a client books by phone, we read this script:
"Before we finish, may we text you about your cleanings? We'd send service updates like appointment reminders, schedule changes and when your crew is on the way, from Private Home Cleaning at (941) 957-9011. Message frequency varies, usually 1 to 2 texts a week, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP anytime to opt out, or HELP for help. Texts are optional and not required to book. Is that OK?"
We text only clients who say yes, and we note their answer and the date in their client profile.
C. Staff Alerts
New estimate alerts go only to Private Home Cleaning's business phone, (941) 586-1833, which our managing member enrolled to receive them.
3. Message Frequency and Rates
Message frequency varies, usually 1 to 2 texts a week for booked clients. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.
4. Opting Out and Getting Help
Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving texts, and START to sign up again. Reply HELP for help, call (941) 586-1833 or email info@privatehomecleaning.com. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
5. Your Privacy
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
