5 cleaning business voicemail greetings
“Thanks for calling [Business]. We're with a client right now. Leave your name, number and what kind of cleaning you need, and we'll call you back today.”
“Hi, you've reached [Business]. For a quote, leave your name, address, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether you'd like a one-time or recurring clean. We'll call you back with a price.”
“You've reached [Business]. Current clients, leave your name and what you need to change, and we'll take care of it. New clients, leave your name and number and we'll call you back to get started.”
“Thanks for calling [Business]. For commercial cleaning, leave your company name, address, the size of the space and how often you need service, and we'll call you back to set up a walkthrough.”
“Thanks for calling [Business]. We're closed for the day. Leave your details and we'll call you back tomorrow morning.”
The catch with any voicemail greeting
Even a great greeting only works if the caller leaves a message, and a lot of callers hang up and try the next business instead. Riley answers those calls live in your business's name, takes the same details these greetings ask for, and emails them to you.
Tips for a cleaning business greeting that works
- Ask bedrooms and bathrooms; it's your quote.
- Separate recurring from one-time cleans.
- Evening callers are often ready to book; call back early next day.
How to record your new greeting
- iPhone: Phone app → Voicemail → Greeting → Custom → Record.
- Android: Phone app → menu → Settings → Voicemail → Greeting (wording varies by phone), or dial your voicemail and follow the prompts.
- Office or VoIP line: look for “greeting” in your phone system's settings or voicemail menu.
