Just pick the policy that best fits your needs, plug in your maid service’s information and you’re good to go!
You’ll want to share this new cancellation policy when you first sign up a new customer and you’ll want to remind them before every appointment so you can enforce any cancellation fees you charge.
You can send these appointment reminders automatically, with your new cancellation policy, using the ZenMaid maid service software.
The policies below were shared publicly by ZenMaid customers – your cancellation policy details may differ but you should be able to copy, paste, and adjust as necessary.
