About
The Cleaning Software is a purpose-built CRM and operations platform tailored specifically to the needs of residential cleaning and maid service businesses. Founded by Holly Moore — who scaled one of the largest privately owned cleaning companies in the U.S. with over 150 employees — the platform was created to solve the real-world pain points that generic software fails to address. At its core, The Cleaning Software offers a powerful map-based scheduling system exclusive to the platform, allowing owners and managers to visualize their entire team's workload in real time, optimize crew routing, auto-track mileage, and quickly reschedule jobs with ease. Crew management tools let dispatchers instantly check cleaner availability, assign individuals or teams, match clients with preferred cleaners, and automatically adjust job times for teams of up to four cleaners. Payroll and billing are largely automated: jobs are auto-charged upon completion, invoices are customizable per client, and payroll equations automatically calculate cleaner earnings, mileage, and drive time — all exportable to a payroll report in seconds. The platform also supports an auto-tipping feature that has been shown to increase technician tips by an average of 25%. The Cleaning Software is ideal for growing cleaning companies looking to eliminate manual data entry, reduce scheduling chaos, and build a scalable operation. With 50+ automated administrative tasks and over 40% improvement in crew routing efficiency reported by users, it's the all-in-one solution the industry has been waiting for.
