What a good cleaner SMS actually contains
Short-term rental cleaners work fast and juggle multiple properties. A message that buries the address under pleasantries gets skimmed and details get missed. Aim for address, time window, access, payout — in that order. Everything else is optional.
- Address: Always include the unit number. Don't assume they remember. Format it so a long-press on mobile pulls up Maps.
- Window: Use a range, not a point. "11am–3pm" lets them batch with other jobs. Committing to "12:00 sharp" is how you end up paying more or losing the cleaner.
- Access: Lockbox code or smart-lock PIN. If you rotate codes per guest, spell out which code is current.
- Payout: Stating the amount upfront prevents invoicing friction later. Cleaners who know what they're getting paid arrive ready to do the job well.
- One ask, one reply: If you want confirmation, ask for a single "Y" reply. Open-ended questions ("let me know if you can make it") get ignored.
Why SMS still beats WhatsApp, Telegram, or email
In the US most professional house cleaners use SMS natively — it's the only channel that's universal across iPhone/Android, doesn't require an app, and shows up on the lock screen. WhatsApp works well in EU/LatAm markets. Email gets buried. DMs on Airbnb are worse than useless (your cleaner isn't on the Airbnb app).
SMS length matters
A standard SMS is 160 characters. Go over, and carriers split it into segments — which can arrive out of order on old Androids or missed devices. We count segments above. Below 160 is safest; below 320 is fine in practice.
What this generator does NOT do
- It does not send the message. Copy it, paste it into your SMS app, send.
- It does not store anything — every field is local to your browser.
- It does not know your cleaner's phone number. Good: we don't want it.
