Why cleaning businesses choose CleanWhale
Built for cleaning, not “everything”
CleanWhale models the cleaning workflow directly — service types, options and coefficients per location, post-renovation and office jobs, recurring cleaning. You are not bending a generic field-service tool to fit.
Automation that removes manual work
New orders are distributed and cleaners assigned automatically, respecting each partner’s schedule and location. Payouts are calculated after every completed job, and debts are detected and chased on their own.
Two purpose-built apps
A customer app for booking, loyalty and live order status, plus a partner app where cleaners pick free orders, mark days off and see earnings — so onboarding a new cleaner takes minutes.
Fair, scalable pricing
You pay for connected partners, with a free tier for small teams — so the price grows with your business instead of with a feature checklist.
