Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started
What is True North Free Connection?
True North is a local marketplace that connects you with trusted, independent cleaning professionals. Search cleaners near you, compare profiles and reviews, and book in a few taps.
How does booking work?
Go to Find a Cleaner, filter by service, location, date, and rating, open a cleaner’s profile, and choose a time. Your cleaner reviews and accepts the request, and you’re booked.
Do I need an account?
Yes — a free account lets you book, message your cleaner, and track your cleanings. Signing up takes less than a minute.
What areas do you serve?
Enter your ZIP code on the Find a Cleaner page to see the cleaners available in your area. We’re adding new cleaners all the time.
Booking & cleanings
How much does a cleaning cost?
Each cleaner sets their own rates, shown on their profile and before you confirm — no surprise fees.
What kinds of cleaning can I book?
It depends on each cleaner’s services, but common options include standard and recurring cleaning, deep cleans, and move‑in / move‑out cleaning.
Can I rebook the same cleaner?
Absolutely — rebook a cleaner you liked right from My Bookings, based on their availability.
When does the cleaner get my address?
Your street address stays private until the cleaner accepts your booking, so your details are only shared once a cleaning is confirmed.
How do I reschedule or cancel?
Manage any booking from My Bookings. Cancellation and rescheduling terms can vary by cleaner, so check the details on your booking.
What if something isn’t right?
Open the booking and choose “Report an issue.” Our support team will step in and help make it right.
Payments
How do I pay?
Securely online by card at checkout — no cash needed. Payments are processed by our payment partner (Stripe), and your card details are never stored on our servers.
Is my payment information safe?
Yes. All payments run through a PCI‑compliant processor. True North never sees or stores your full card number.
What is store credit?
Store credit is a balance you can apply toward bookings or supplies. If you’ve earned or been issued credit, it appears in your account and applies automatically at checkout.
Becoming a cleaner
How do I become a cleaner?
Tap Become a Cleaner and complete your profile: add your business info, list your services and rates, set availability, connect payouts, accept the agreement, and pass a background check. Once those are done, you go live in the marketplace.
How and when do I get paid?
You’re paid by secure direct deposit through Stripe after each completed job — no chasing invoices or handling cash.
Do I set my own rates and schedule?
Yes. You’re an independent professional — you choose your services, prices, availability, and service area.
Is there a fee to join?
Creating a profile is free. A small platform service fee is applied to bookings to cover payment processing and running the marketplace.
Do I bring my own supplies?
Typically yes, unless you and the customer agree otherwise. You can also stock up on eco‑friendly products from the True North supplies store.
Trust & safety
Are cleaners background-checked?
Yes. Every cleaner completes a background screening before they can appear in the marketplace.
Are the reviews real?
Yes. Only customers who have completed a booking can leave a rating and review, so what you read reflects real cleanings.
How do I communicate with my cleaner?
Use in‑app messaging in your Inbox to coordinate details and keep a record of your conversation.
Account & supplies
Can I be both a customer and a cleaner?
Yes. If you have both profiles, switch between Customer and Cleaner views anytime from your account menu.
How do I update my info or password?
Go to Account Settings to edit your name, email, and password.
What is the supplies store?
It’s our shop of eco‑friendly cleaning products — order what you need and keep it on hand for your next cleaning.
