Cleaning service scheduling software for the owner: every recurring clean on one board, priced off what it actually costs you, and invoiced the day the crew leaves
Sudslane is for the person who runs a cleaning business in the United States: the residential maid service with three to thirty cleaners, the janitorial contractor holding office and medical accounts, and the specialist who does carpet, window, gutter or post-construction work. The free sheets cost a clean to the hour from your own wage, hours and supplies, then turn that cost into a flat rate at the margin you choose. Pro keeps the customers, the recurring schedule, the crew's hours, the quotes and the invoices on one record.
For cleaning businesses that quote recurring work
Sudslane prices one thing properly: a clean, with the crew's real cost in it. If you also fit boilers or mow lawns, buy a trades suite instead; this is built for the business whose whole day is cleaning.
One record from the quote to the money, for a business whose whole day is cleaning
- The price starts from what the clean costs you, not from what you charged last year. Two cleaners for three hours is six paid hours, and a nineteen dollar wage is not a nineteen dollar cost once the employer's payroll tax is on it. Sudslane starts there, adds supplies, the van and your overhead per hour, and only then asks what margin you want.
- A fortnightly house goes on the board once and comes back on its own. Cleaning is repeat work, so the schedule is built around a repeating visit rather than a diary entry someone has to retype. Change the crew on one visit or on every visit after it, and the board keeps up.
- Every quote, price and logged hour is filed against the house it came from. When the customer calls in six months and asks why the price moved, the answer is on their record: the hours, the wage, the supplies and the margin that produced the old number and the new one.
Sudslane Pro
Upgrading turns a worked sheet into the job. The price you calculated is saved against that customer and that address, so next quarter you are not doing the arithmetic again from memory; the visit goes on the recurring board and comes back every fortnight without being retyped; the crew's hours land against the visit; and the invoice carries your business name rather than ours. $39 a month for the whole business, billed monthly
