How to choose (editorial)
- Mostly recurring residential cleans. Start with tools that list maid or house cleaning as their focus (ZenMaid, BookingKoala, Automaid).
- You also do turnovers, carpet or exteriors. A general tool like Jobber or Housecall Pro can cover multiple trades.
- You only need a booking page. Acuity can be enough; pair it with a payment processor you already use.
- You want to run it without being on site. See the remote cleaning business tool stack for dispatch, GPS check-in, photo proof and payments.
Watch out for
- SMS, extra providers and payment fees are often billed separately. Read the vendor pricing page for your team size.
- If you also do Airbnb turnovers, Acuity does not import Airbnb/Vrbo iCal feeds directly; see Acuity + Airbnb calendars.
