Cleaning Business Software — For Janitorial & Maid Services

Start with a free CRM, then scale with plans from $49/mo. Recurring schedules, team management, checklists, time tracking, and invoicing — all in FieldFuze.

Why Cleaning Companies Need Better Software

Cleaning businesses live and die on recurring schedules. Whether you're running a residential maid service with 50 weekly clients or a commercial janitorial company with 20 nightly office buildings, you need to know exactly which team goes where, when, and what needs to be done at each location.

The challenge is scale. At 10 clients you can manage with a calendar app. At 50 clients across multiple cleaning teams, you're spending more time scheduling than cleaning. Missed appointments cost you clients. Inconsistent quality costs you referrals. And manually tracking hours and sending invoices eats into the margins that are already tight in this industry.

ZenMaid charges $49+/month but only handles residential. Swept focuses on janitorial but starts at $150+/month. CleanGuru wants $59+/user/month. FieldFuze gives cleaning businesses a free CRM to get started, with paid plans from $49/mo that include recurring scheduling, time tracking, estimates, invoicing, and team management for up to 15 users — residential and commercial.

What You Get

Built for cleaning companies — recurring schedules, checklists, quality control.

Recurring Schedule Management

Set up daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cleaning schedules for every client. FieldFuze auto-generates assignments and notifies your teams of their daily routes and job details.

Team Assignment & Tracking

Assign cleaning teams to locations, track clock-in/clock-out times, and monitor progress throughout the day. Know which teams are on-site, finished, or running behind.

Job Checklists

Create custom cleaning checklists for each property. Your teams check off tasks as they complete them — dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, kitchens — so nothing gets missed and quality stays consistent.

Time Tracking & Timecards

Automatic time tracking for every job. Your cleaners clock in when they arrive and clock out when they leave. Digital timecards make payroll accurate and eliminate time disputes.

Client Communication

Automated appointment reminders before each cleaning. Post-service notifications let clients know the job is done. Manage special requests and one-time add-on services without disrupting the regular schedule.

Estimates & Invoicing

Build walk-through estimates for new clients on your phone. Set up recurring invoicing that matches your service schedule — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly billing with automatic payment collection.

How FieldFuze Works for Cleaning Teams

Here's what a typical week looks like with FieldFuze:

Monday — Weekly Schedule Launch

Your 4 cleaning teams each see their full week on their phones. Team 1 has 12 residential clients this week. Team 2 handles 6 commercial offices nightly. Each job has the property's specific checklist, access codes, and any special instructions from the client.

Tuesday — Residential Route

Team 1 arrives at the first house at 8am, clocks in through the app, and works through the checklist — bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, common areas. Each task is checked off as completed. The homeowner gets a notification when the team finishes. Four homes done by 4pm.

Wednesday — New Client Walk-Through

You visit a potential commercial client — a 10,000 sq ft office building. You walk the space, note the requirements on your phone, and build an estimate with line items for nightly cleaning, weekly deep clean, and monthly floor care. You send the estimate before you're back in your car.

Thursday-Friday — Commercial Nights

Team 2 clocks in at 6pm for the nightly office route. Five buildings, each with a specific checklist. Trash, vacuuming, bathrooms, break rooms, conference rooms. Time tracking shows exactly how long each building takes — data you use to optimize staffing and pricing.

What Cleaning Software Actually Costs

Cleaning-specific platforms charge per-user fees that crush margins on an already tight-margin business.
