Roughly 75-80% organic.

What the research says about house cleaners social
Posting cadence for house cleaners
CleanTok rewards near-daily posting; realistic sustainable cadence for a local cleaning business is 3-5 short reels/week on TikTok+IG (cross-posted), 2-3 posts/week on Facebook (lean toward local-group value + before/afters), 1-2 Nextdoor/GBP posts per week (reminders, seasonal, reviews), and weekly Pinterest pins of checklists/transformations. Volume of satisfying clips beats polish.

Best platforms for this trade
For house cleaning the reach engine is TikTok + Instagram Reels (satisfying transformation/ASMR travels furthest there), while the BOOKING engine is local: Facebook (especially local community groups), Nextdoor (neighborhood reminders + 'Neighborhood Favorite' social proof), and Google Business Profile. Pinterest is a secondary saves-driver for checklists/before-afters. Most operators build the free local channels (GBP, FB groups, reviews) first, then use TikTok/IG to compound reach.

What NOT to post
Don'ts for house cleaning content: (1) don't staple 'book in bio' onto every post — a wall of CTAs kills the organic reach that the satisfying content earns. (2) Don't use stock photos or AI-generated 'clean home' images — real job footage is the entire trust mechanism in a trade about strangers in your home. (3) Don't post a client's home, mess, or face without explicit consent (privacy/dignity). (4) Don't shame or mock the client/homeowner over a dirty home — stay warm and non-judgmental; the empathetic framing is what makes the emotional clips travel. (5) Don't fake transformations or over-polish — authenticity outperforms perfection.

Hooks that work
Hooks that work in cleaning content: lead with the worst BEFORE on screen in frame one ('this hadn't been cleaned in 2 years'), curiosity/disgust ('you won't believe what came out of this carpet'), relatable-POV ('POV: the client said it was "already pretty clean"'), satisfying-promise ('watch this soap scum disappear'), and stakes/timer ('cleaning this entire {service} in {n} minutes'). The hook is visual first, text second — the dirtiest possible opening frame is the single biggest reach lever.

Seasonal moments to plan for
Predictable demand/content triggers for house cleaning: New Year 'reset' (Jan declutter motivation), spring cleaning (Mar-Apr, the biggest content + booking window), pre-holiday hosting rushes (Thanksgiving Nov, December), move-season turnover (May-Aug leases + Airbnb summer), back-to-school reset (Aug-Sep), allergy season deep-clean angle (spring/fall). Each is a natural organic content peg AND a periodic promotional booking_nudge window.

Formats that perform
Winning format is the 15-45s vertical reel: strong first-frame hook (the grimiest BEFORE on screen instantly), tight satisfying transitions on a trending or ASMR audio, captions-on, real (not stock, not AI) footage. Carousels work for checklists and 'standard vs deep' explainers. Production polish is actively counter-productive — authentic 'messy middle' footage outperforms picture-perfect edits. Short (<15s) hack/transformation clips pull the broad satisfying-content audience who weren't searching for a cleaner.
