How to set up a Websta profile as a cleaner in Slovenia

What your Websta profile should contain

Your profile page is a simple website that shows who you are and what you do. For a cleaner in Slovenia, include a description of the services you offer - whether that is domestic cleaning, office cleaning, window cleaning, carpet cleaning or other specialisms. List each service separately so clients can understand exactly what you do.

Add high-quality photos of your work. Show before-and-after shots of cleaned spaces, your equipment, or yourself at work. Photos build trust more than words alone. Include a professional photo of yourself if you are comfortable doing so.

Set out your services clearly with a short description of what each includes. For example, if you offer domestic cleaning, describe whether that covers dusting, vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning, and how long a typical visit takes. Clients need to know what they are paying for.

Add a booking system or a quote request form. Many cleaning jobs are quoted individually because they vary in size and scope, so a quote request form may work better than fixed online booking. With Websta, clients can book directly or ask you for a price estimate.

Languages on your profile

Publish your profile in Slovenian. You may also consider English if you target expatriates or international clients in Slovenia, but Slovenian is essential because most clients searching locally will use it.

If you speak English, German, Italian or other languages commonly spoken in Slovenia, you might add a second language to reach more clients. Check your profile settings to see which languages Websta supports in your region.

How people in Slovenia search for cleaners

On Websta, clients search by service type and location. They enter a town or region and filter for cleaners. The marketplace shows providers nearby. Most searches happen within a specific area - someone in Ljubljana looks for cleaners in Ljubljana, someone in Maribor looks there, and so on.

Your profile appears when a client searches for your service in your town or region. Make sure your location is set correctly and your service categories match what clients search for. If you serve multiple towns, you can set your service area to cover them.

Clients also post tasks or requests on Websta. You receive notifications and can make an offer. This is useful if you want to bid on specific jobs rather than wait for bookings.

Being an independent cleaner in Slovenia

To work as a cleaner in Slovenia, you need to register as a sole trader (samostojni podjetnik) with the tax authorities. This is a legal requirement if you work independently. You must register with the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Public Legal Records and Related Services and with the tax office.

Check the latest requirements with the Slovenian tax office or a local business advisor because regulations can change. You will need a tax number and must file tax returns. If you employ others, additional rules apply.

For payment, Websta integrates with Stripe so clients can pay you by card. Your earnings are paid directly to your bank account. Keep records of all payments for tax purposes.

Consider liability insurance if you work in clients' homes. Check with an insurance broker in Slovenia about what cover is available and recommended for cleaners.

If you work with cleaning chemicals, follow safety and labelling rules. Store materials safely and dispose of waste properly.

What to write in your first hour

Start by writing a short personal introduction. Say who you are, how long you have been cleaning, and what you specialise in. Keep it under 100 words.

List three to five core services you offer. For each one, write two or three sentences explaining what is included and who it suits. For example: 'Domestic cleaning - weekly or monthly visits covering all rooms, dusting, vacuuming, bathroom and kitchen cleaning.'

Write a short section on how clients can get a quote from you. Explain your process - do they book online, fill a form, or call you for a discussion. Make it clear and simple.

Upload at least two good photos. If you do not have professional shots yet, take clear, well-lit pictures of cleaned spaces or your equipment.

Fill in your service area. Select the towns or regions where you work. This determines who can find you in the marketplace.

Add your contact details and confirm your payment and booking settings are correct before you go live.

After you publish

Review your profile on a mobile phone because many clients search on their phones. Check that photos load properly and text is easy to read.

Respond quickly to quote requests and messages. Clients judge you on how fast and professional you reply.

Update your photos regularly with new work examples. This shows you are active and keeps your profile fresh.

If you change your service area, availability, or services, update your profile so information stays accurate.
