Owners and operators of recurring residential cleaning businesses, from solo with 5 clients to teams with 500 or more. Maid services, house cleaning companies, and janitorial operations with recurring bookings. Not for businesses doing mostly one-time or post-construction cleans.

## Book a demo

Anyone can book a live demo with Ash, the founder, at https://calendly.com/cleaningmetrics-support/cleaningmetrics-demo. It is 60 minutes, one-on-one, over Zoom, and it is a screen share of the real platform running on real data. There is no sales team: the founder runs every demo himself.

## Key concepts

- True profit: What an owner actually keeps after cleaner labor, Stripe fees, and overhead. Calculated automatically from real booking and payout data. Distinct from revenue, which is what most cleaning business software shows.
- Per-job cleaner pay: Every completed job accrues the cleaner's pay automatically: a percentage of the job, split across the crew, with tips, bonuses, and one-time payments tracked alongside. Owners record payments in one click and get 1099-NEC summaries with W-9 collection at tax time. No spreadsheets, no end-of-week math.
- Real-life recurring schedules: Series mirror how clients actually book: extras that repeat every visit or every Nth visit, alternate visits where every Nth clean is a different service at its own price (a light weekly clean with a deep clean every fourth week), per-visit service-address overrides, and one-time bookings that convert into a series in place.
- Commercial invoicing: Commercial clients can be switched to invoiced billing: no card required, monthly letterhead statements with preview-before-send and per-visit selection, and cleaner pay that is never held up waiting on the invoice.
- Client onboarding emails: New clients get a warm, personalized welcome email in place of the plain booking confirmation. The template is picked automatically from the booking (recurring, one-time, or move-in/move-out), every template is editable in plain text, and custom templates can target audiences by customer type, booking type, or keywords.
- Retention intelligence: Live churn rate, lifetime value per client, at-risk client alerts surfaced before clients cancel.
- AI business analyst: Built-in plain-English question interface over the owner's live data. Answers questions about profit, churn, cleaner performance, payouts, and at-risk clients.

## Mobile apps

The owner and cleaner native mobile apps are live on the App Store and Google Play. The owner app has live alerts, a notification center, inbound caller ID that opens the calling customer's profile, and confirm, reschedule, and cancel on the go. The cleaner app shows today's jobs, on-the-way status, one-tap check-in, before-and-after photos, no-access alerts, and an emergency button that alerts the office until acknowledged. Customers get an installable branded app (PWA) through their cleaning company's own domain.

## Articles

- [How Much Does a 1099 Cleaner Really Cost Per Job?](https://cleaningmetrics.com/blog/how-much-does-1099-cleaner-cost-per-job): For a $200 job where you pay a contractor 60% ($120), your direct margin after Stripe fees is 37%, not the 40% the split implies. And that is before your monthly overhead (software, insurance, marketing) reduces your actual take-home further. The number most owners think they are keeping and the number they are actually keeping are almost never the same.
- [What Is a Good Profit Margin for a Cleaning Business?](https://cleaningmetrics.com/blog/cleaning-business-profit-margin): A healthy net profit margin for a recurring residential cleaning business is between 10% and 28%. Most owner-operated businesses land between 15% and 25% after paying cleaners, processing fees, and overhead. Margins below 10% are a warning sign that labor costs or pricing need attention.
- [How to Calculate True Profit for Your Cleaning Business](https://cleaningmetrics.com/blog/how-to-calculate-true-profit-cleaning-business): True profit for a cleaning business is your total revenue minus what you paid your cleaners, minus payment processing fees (typically 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction if using Stripe), minus operating expenses like supplies, insurance, and software. What remains is what you actually kept.
- [Jobber vs CleaningMetrics: Why Recurring Cleaning Businesses Switch](https://cleaningmetrics.com/blog/jobber-vs-cleaningmetrics): Jobber is a generic field-service platform adapted for cleaning. CleaningMetrics is the operating system built specifically for recurring residential cleaning, from day one. Owners do not run their business on both, they switch from one to the other. Here is what changes when a recurring cleaning company owner leaves Jobber for CleaningMetrics.
- [What Is Churn Rate, and Why Cleaning Business Owners Need to Track It](https://cleaningmetrics.com/blog/what-is-churn-rate-cleaning-business): Churn rate is the percentage of your recurring clients who stop booking with you in a given month. For a cleaning business, it measures how many clients you lost versus how many you had at the start of the period. A high churn rate means your business is shrinking even if revenue looks flat.
