What permission do you need inside clients' homes?

Ask before taking any photo inside a client's home or premises and explain how it will be used. Keep personal items, addresses and anything identifying out of shot. Many cleaning companies add a photo consent line to their booking form.

When is an agency not worth it for a cleaner?

What does this look like in practice?
