How does CleanGuru work?

Good news! CleanGuru is completely different from other cleaning business software in BIG ways.

You’ll love how from Bidding, Invoicing and Inspecting to ‘Tickets, Scheduling and Timekeeping’ – is designed to be 1/ simple in what it asks of you and 2/ professional in what it gives you.

For example, our bidding software comes pre-loaded to make quoting on cleaning jobs quick and easy.

Based on our 40 plus years of combined real-world cleaning business experience, we’ve pre-programmed our janitorial software with:

  • built-in work schedules / job specifications, by building type and cleaning frequency
  • our set of proprietary industry-specific production rates by cleaning tasks
  • practical, done-for-you pricing formulas; cost plus + profit and hourly rate methods
  • impressive, professional proposals you can easily customize, then print or email

Now, here’s the exciting part:

CleanGuru software and bidding app for Janitorial and Office Cleaning jobs – runs your building’s measurements along with all our pre-programmed help listed above through powerful work loading calculations.

That’s how we determine and give you a calculated ‘cleaning time per visit’ – the critical figure needed when bidding janitorial projects and office-cleaning jobs.

You’ll get detailed job specifications, calculated cleaning times, monthly price recommendations and a professional proposal, customized for the building you’re bidding on.

CleanGuru bidding for Tile, Carpet, Window, Construction, Move In/Out, Disinfecting and Maid/House Cleaning/ Residential Cleaning comes pre-loaded with work types and detailed task descriptions for each of these unique kinds of specialty work; designed to set you apart from your competition.

Plus, you’ll like being able to easily account for other factors / variables, like wage and difficulty when you’re determining your price for the cleaning contract.

  2. enter the size of each area to be cleaned or simply the total square feet!
  3. pick a cleaning frequency (i.e. three (3) or five (5) times a week)

CleanGuru will automatically give you an estimated cleaning time in Janitorial; and in all bidding modules, including Janitorial, Maid, Tile, Construction, Window, Move In/Out, Carpet and Disinfecting – a recommended price and a professional cleaning proposal

Can I show wages and prices for my city?

You bet – and it’s easy!

When bidding janitorial jobs, you can simply enter your wage rate (the amount you pay your cleaners per hour) to reflect your city or company requirements.

It will be used directly in the Cost + Plus calculations to generate a price based on the hourly pay rate you entered.

Since labor is the biggest expense in nearly all office-cleaning jobs, updating the wage rate to reflect your location or company requirements – goes a long way in generating competitive yet profitably priced cleaning bids.

Updating the wage variable on Maid, Construction, Move In/Out, Tile, Carpet, Window and Disinfecting price pages allows us to adjust the price recommendation for your company or location.

Plus, you can use our convenient Express feature if you can’t get the individual room dimensions and all you know is the total size of the building to be cleaned.

Express will break up the total and load measurements, by area, for you – automatically!

Once you’ve entered your data, you’ll be amazed to see CleanGuru can instantly give you a calculated time (janitorial), price recommendation and professional cleaning proposal.

Does CleanGuru ‘know’ what to charge for janitorial jobs in my city?

It’s a good question.

Whether you’re just starting a cleaning business or have been running your existing janitorial company for years, CleanGuru helps with one of the biggest challenges you face, namely, how to price janitorial, office cleaning jobs.

However, while members love how useful our Janitorial Module is in calculating average cleaning hours needed per day, as well as providing a specific price recommendation based on that time – it cannot, of course, know what you might personally feel you need or want to charge, based on the number or nature of your competitors, the specific ‘going rate’ of your city or your own company’s financial requirements.

Good news! That’s why we provide an easy way for members to show important wage, profit and expense figures for their city or company. These adjustments can go a long way in making the price calculations better reflect cleaning business or location.

Put differently, since the biggest expense in most, if not all, janitorial, office-cleaning jobs is labor (wages), allowing members to easily update wage rate for example, to reflect their company or city – goes a long way in helping to arrive at a competitive yet profitable price.

While the other CleanGuru Modules (Carpet, Tile, Maid, Window, Construction, Disinfecting and Move In/Out) do not use direct cleaning time calculations in determining suggested price ranges, adjustments can still easily be made to the recommendation based on, in part, member changes to one or more variables, such as hourly wage and difficulty.

Can I bid on carpet or tile in a janitorial bid?

Yes! If you’re bidding on routine hard floor maintenance tasks like damp mopping and standard carpet cleaning duties such as vacuuming, the janitorial bidding module may be all you need.

You can easily add pre-written wording from a list in the Special Services section of your cleaning proposal that explains – you offer carpet cleaning and floor maintenance services and would be happy to quote such projects anytime.

However, if you want specific pricing recommendations as well as task descriptions for work types such as stripping and refinishing of waxable tile or hot water extraction of carpeted areas, then the Tile and/or Carpet Modules are probably a better fit.

They come pre-loaded with task descriptions and price recommendations for those kinds of maintenance projects.

No problem, CleanGuru has got you covered!

Simply enter that figure in Express and this valuable feature breaks up the total cleanable square feet into areas using pre-set percentage estimates for the type of building you’re bidding on.

You’ll be able to make changes to customize the areas or tasks to reflect the building you’re bidding on, select a price – and in minutes, you’ll have a professional cleaning proposal ready to print or email to your prospect!
