Automatic time tracking for house cleaners.
How a house cleaner's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A house cleaner's day is the opposite. You're scrubbing surfaces and sanitizing homes, switching between addresses like Residential homes, Airbnb/Short-term rentals, Rental properties, and doing tasks like Deep cleaning kitchens, Dusting and vacuuming, Sanitizing bathrooms. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction house cleaners tell us about
- Difficulty justifying hourly rates when moving between back-to-back residential clients
- Forgetting to log mileage for long drives to remote rental properties
- Losing track of actual time spent on deep cleans versus standard maintenance cleans
