Start every interaction with a friendly greeting! "Xin chào" is the universal way to say hello in Vietnamese and sets a positive tone when you’re calling or meeting a cleaner, repair person, or any service provider. A warm hello goes a long way in Saigon’s hospitality-driven culture.
This is your go-to phrase for hiring a cleaning service. It’s simple and direct, letting the provider know exactly what you’re looking for. Whether it’s a one-time deep clean or regular upkeep, this phrase will get the conversation started.
Budget matters! After explaining what you need, ask "Bao nhiêu tiền?" to clarify the price. It’s a practical question that helps you avoid surprises and ensures you’re on the same page with the service provider.
Scheduling is key in a busy city like Saigon. Use this phrase to ask when the service provider can arrive. Pair it with a time—like "8 giờ sáng" (8 a.m.)—if you have a preference, and you’ll be all set.
If you want to direct attention to a specific area, this phrase is perfect. Point to the room (kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom) and say "Làm sạch phòng này" to ensure it gets the care it needs. It’s especially handy for spot cleaning or prioritizing certain spaces.
Gratitude is appreciated everywhere, and Saigon is no exception. After the job is done, say "Cảm ơn nhiều" to show your appreciation. It’s a small gesture that builds goodwill and might even earn you a smile or a discount next time!
If you’re happy with the service (and we’re sure you will be with a reliable cleaning company like us!), let them know with this phrase. It’s a great way to compliment their work and encourage them to keep up the excellent service.
