Credit Cards. Should I take credit cards if I'm only one-person cleaning houses? Today we Ask a House Cleaner do I need a merchant account to grow my cleaning business? Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru agrees it's easier for people to pay with credit cards. And you can get your money through PayPal or Square. Keep a credit card on file if your customers trust you. With an app on your smartphone, every day you clean is payday. Lots of clients only pay with credit cards. And accepting them is a great way to market your cleaning business. THIS SHOW WAS SPONSORED BY SAVVY CLEANER - House Cleaner Training and Certification.
