Do you still use your personal phone number to manage your cleaning business? If so, it\u2019s time to consider a phone solution designed for businesses. Especially as you scale and add more staff, it\u2019s important that your company has a dedicated phone number where clients can call, leave voicemails, text, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll round up the most common phone systems that our community has used in the past. We\u2019ll also share what people had to say about them and our general recommendations so you can make the best choice for your business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why You Need a Business Phone System as a Cleaning Company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest recommendations we can give when you\u2019re starting out a cleaning business is to have a dedicated phone system. We\u2019ve seen small business owners try to manage it all through their personal line, and while that works when you\u2019re just starting out, you\u2019re going to blow up your phone as you start to add customers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, if you have staff working under you, it\u2019s best to keep all of your communications consolidated into one system. Otherwise, you\u2019ll add more work for yourself by trying to keep track of who answered which customer and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to be truly professional, it\u2019s best to have a separate phone system, and the best part is that in 2025, there are tons of options! Of course, the criteria you prioritize depend on your unique business and where it\u2019s at, so we\u2019ll go through multiple options and talk about where each one shines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Look For in a Cleaning Business Phone Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of factors to consider when you\u2019re looking at a phone solution. For businesses just starting out, cost might be the most important decision, but it\u2019s also important to think about what you\u2019ll need when your business scales. Transferring services is a pain in the butt, so we recommend picking a solution that you think will be the best for you long-term, even if it means a little more investment now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
