Can I reschedule an order with a customer?

Yes you can! To reschedule an order with a customer, go to the orders screen and click the reschedule icon on the order. Choose a new date and time and send the request over to the customer. The customer will have to accept your reschedule request in order for it to take effect.

Can I communicate with the customer on the app?

Yes, you can communicate with customers through our messaging system once you've accepted their booking. This ensures that all communication related to a transaction is kept within the app for security and record-keeping purposes.

Can I refund a customers booking?

A customer can request a refund for their booking by submitting a dispute up to 48 hours after the booking was completed. If you need to refund a customer for not fully completing the job, ask them to submit a dispute from the orders screen.

Can I hide my profile from customers?

Yes, if you need to temporarily hide your profile from customers go into profile - service profile and set your service radius to 0 miles.

Can a customer cancel their booking?

Yes a customer can cancel their booking. However, if you have accepted the booking and the customer cancels 24 hours or less before the service time, the customer will be subject to a 25% cancellation fee. See more information on our cancellation policy here

Why has my account been restricted?

Operator accounts will be restricted automatically for any of the following reasons:

  • If you do not accept a booking and it automatically cancels
  • If you reject or cancel a booking worth £100 or more

On top of this, there may be occasions where we intervene and restrict an operator manually for breaching our terms of service.

Can customers send images on the app?

Yes. Customers can send you images of their car through the chat.

My booking has been cancelled, but I didn't cancel it?

If you do not accept your booking by the customers chosen timeslot, the job will be automatically cancelled. For example, if a customer books you for Friday at 9am, and you do not accept the booking by then, it will be cancelled. It is fundamental that you accept the bookings you receive on the app, to confirm to us and the customer that it will be going ahead.

A booking will also be automatically cancelled if the customer doesn't have enough funds to cover the cost.

How do I change my wallet payout method?

To change your payment method for your wallet, you will have to login to Stripe and change your payment details there. You can login to change them here: https://support.stripe.com/express/questions/how-do-i-login-to-my-stripe-express-account?locale=en-GB

Can I start a booking early?

Yes you can start a job up to 24 hours before the original service time.

How do I handle disputes with a customer?

If a customer has an issue with a booking that you've delivered, they can submit a dispute through the app or website.

The customer can only submit a dispute up to 48 hours after the booking has been completed. And once a dispute has been made, you the operator will have up to 24 hours to respond. You can either accept the customers request, reject it or offer an alternative solution from one of the options.

If you the operator do not respond to the customers dispute within 24 hours, it will be automatically accepted.

My customers car isn't at their address?

If you have turned up to the address the customer provided and the vehicle isn't there. There are two things you can do:

  1. Message the customer through the app to let them know you've arrived and can't find their vehicle. (This resolves most of these scenarios).
  2. If the customer is not there and isn't responding, you can cancel the booking for the reason "Vehicle isn't at the address". If you cancel for this reason, a 25% cancellation fee will be charged to the customer and then transferred to yourself (minus our commission). This reason can only be used 15 minutes after the booking slot.
I've rescheduled my customers booking and now they've been charged twice?

When your booking is rescheduled, a 2nd payment is created and the original payment is automatically cancelled within a few days.

Where can I get a Clean Me t-shirt?

Clean Me t-shirts, hoodies and other merchandise for our operators can be purchased from our store.

What do I do if i'm on holiday?

What is an opportunity booking?

An opportunity booking is a booking that was originally assigned to a specific operator, that has now been made available to everyone who services the customers address. Only bookings that are not accepted by the original operator become opportunity bookings.

This gives operators who weren't assigned the job originally. the chance to claim it and have the booking transferred over to them.

Important things to note about opportunity bookings are:

  • They can be declined unlike usual bookings
  • The price of the booking will remain the same once transferred over to you
  • If a normal booking is not accepted within 1 hour, it becomes an opportunity booking automatically.
  • You cannot accept opportunity bookings if you already have an event in your Clean Me calendar at the time of the opportunity booking. Or if there is not enough travel time (1 hour) between the opportunity booking slot and an existing event in your calendar. 
Why can't I accept an opportunity booking?

If you can't accept an opportunity booking, it will be for one of the following reasons:

  • You are unavailable in your Clean Me calendar at the time of the booking slot
  • Someone else has already accepted the opportunity
  • There is not enough travel time (1 hour) between the opportunity booking slot and an existing event in your calendar.
  • (Least likely) The customer does not have the funds required to transfer the booking over to yourself. As the transfer process sometimes requires a second payment to be made.
Can you remove negative reviews from my profile?

No. Clean Me will not remove reviews from your profile. Whether positive or negative reviews are permanent.
