A cleaning company with a team?

Your team's busy, and the swaps, keys and payments still land on you. I set up AI so everyone works the same way, then look after it and help your team use it.

Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.

What I'd set up for you

Help for the whole team.

Rounds planned by area

Regular cleans grouped by street and estate, with new customers slotted in where you already are.

With a teamOne diary the whole team works from.

Swaps by text

Customers move a clean by text, and the gap is offered to someone nearby.

With a teamChanges handled without anyone ringing round.

Keys and access notes

Key-safe codes and alarm notes kept with each booking, and shared only on the day.

With a teamThe same clear details every time, whoever's on shift.

Payments chased politely

Monthly invoices or payment links, with friendly reminders.

With a teamDone the same way every time, whoever's on.

A team that's confident with AI

The AI already in tools you pay for, switched on, plus a half-day workshop with simple rules for customer data.

With a teamEveryone uses it the same way, safely.

Something else on your mind?

Tell me what eats your week. If AI won't save you real time, I'll tell you.

Every business is different. I start by sitting down with you to see how your week actually works, then suggest only what will save you real time.

An example · made up

The Thursday swap

A customer needs to move a clean. Instead of three texts and a reshuffle, the assistant offers the slot that fits your round and updates the calendar. The gap goes to someone on the waiting list.

From Highwoods to Wivenhoe, a round that zig-zags across town costs fuel and an hour a day. Grouping cleans by area is often the quickest win.

Text messagesMade-up example

A cleaning business's text replies

CustomerCan we move Thursday's clean to Friday this week?
AI assistantOf course. Friday at 1pm fits with Sarah's other cleans nearby. Shall I move it?
CustomerYes please.
AI assistantDone. You'll get a reminder on Thursday evening.
Hear Amy take a call

Linnet Cleaning

A busy couple in Highwoods sign up for a fortnightly clean that fits the round.

Made-up call, 1:12. Amy is the same AI assistant that answers 01206 636 400.

Read the call
  1. Amy Hi, you're through to Linnet Cleaning. I'm Amy, Sasha's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Sasha gets your message. How can I help?
  2. Caller Hi. I'm after a regular cleaner, every other week. We're in Highwoods, near the country park, and we both work full time, so the house is a disaster.
  3. Amy You're in good company. I'll just check the round.
  4. Amy Sasha's team already cleans near the country park on Tuesdays, so every other Tuesday from nine would fit nicely. Regular cleans are from eighteen pounds an hour.
  5. Caller Tuesdays are fine, but we'll both be at work. Is that a problem?
  6. Amy Not at all. Lots of customers use a key safe. The code's kept securely with your booking, and only your cleaner gets it, on the day.
  7. Caller Oh, that's good. It's Claire Rendle, by the way.
  8. Amy Thanks, Claire. I've pencilled you in for every other Tuesday, from Tuesday week. Sasha will ring you tomorrow to arrange a quick look round first.
  9. Caller Great. Much easier than I expected.
  10. Amy You're welcome, Claire. Speak soon.
