Your team already takes before and after photos on every job. They prove the work was done, they settle the odd complaint, and then they sit in the job record and never get seen again.

Most cleaning businesses do not lose money on the jobs they quote. They lose it on the jobs they quote unclearly. You send a quote for an end of tenancy clean. The customer accepts. On the day, or worse, after your team has left, the message arrives: “The oven hasn’t been done. I thought that […]

Commercial contracts are where the real money is in cleaning. One office block, school or business centre can be worth more than twenty domestic customers, and it pays every month for years.

Most cleaning businesses run on a lot of little things they just know. Mrs Patel has a dog that mustn’t get out. The office on the high street pays late.
