Booking a cleaner is easy.
Running a cleaning operation isn’t.

The gap is everything after the booking — verification, payment flow, and accountability.

That’s what Cleanifiq was built for.

Unfurnished cleans are faster ✅
No sofas to vacuum under. No mattresses to flip. No drawers to empty. The cleaner moves through the space without obstacles, so the labour drops.

Furnished cleans include the inventory ✅
Each piece of furniture has its own surface area, its own underside, its own dust traps. A six-seater sofa adds roughly an hour. A king bed adds another. It compounds quickly.

Upholstery is the unseen cost ✅
Fabric sofas and headboards collect dust, hair, and stains that hard surfaces don’t. Steam cleaning is often a separate line item, not part of the standard EOT brief.

The kitchen difference ✅
Furnished includes pots, pans, cutlery, glassware — all inventory items the cleaner is expected to check, wash if visibly dirty, and report if missing or broken. Unfurnished doesn’t have this admin layer.

Rough rule of thumb ✅
Furnished EOT cleans typically take 25% to 50% longer than unfurnished for the same flat.
Quotes scale accordingly. Knowing this before you ask saves a surprise on the bill.

Most deposit disputes are won or lost on day one of the tenancy. Not day one of moving out.

When tenants pick up the keys, they sign the inventory and move on. Nobody photographs anything. Months later, when the landlord claims a stain was new, there’s nothing to compare against.

Five photos to take within 24 hours of getting your keys, before you unpack a single box:

The state of every carpet, with the light on, taken from corner to corner. Not close-up details — wide shots that prove the condition.

The interior of the oven, with the door fully open. Every grease mark, every burn mark, every missing tray.

Every wall in every room. Yes, even the boring ones. Especially the boring ones.

Inside every cupboard and wardrobe. Two seconds per door. You don’t need to make a portfolio of them, you just need timestamps.

The condition of the front door, the locks, and any keys handed over. The bit nobody photographs and always argues about.

Email them to yourself the same day. The timestamp on that email is your evidence later. Free, takes ten minutes, protects whatever’s in your deposit account.

What did you wish you’d photographed at check-in? Bookmark this for your next move-in day. What’s the one photo YOU wish you’d taken?

Three things a cleaner says on the phone — and what they actually mean.

“We’ll be there at 9.”
Translation: 8:50 if traffic is kind, 10:15 if it isn’t, 11:30 if a school zone is involved.

“We bring all our own products.”
Translation: Bleach, Cif, a degreaser they’re not sure about, and a hope. The good cleaners actually do. The phrase doesn’t tell you which one you’ve got.

“Yeah we can do that.”
Translation: I’ll Google it in the car. Or I’ll tell you on the day that “actually that’s extra.” Both happen.

The fix isn’t finding a cleaner who never says these things. It’s building a process where the verbal answer doesn’t matter — the written request, the photos, the scope document do.

If your cleaner workflow runs on phone calls and goodwill, you’re managing risk, not bookings.

You’ve booked a professional clean for the first time.
What actually happens ❓
1️⃣ The cleaner should confirm their arrival time before the day. Not the morning of — before.

2️⃣ When they arrive: first thing they do is inspect for existing damage. Chipped tiles, broken handles — anything that was there before they started.

3️⃣ Then: before photos of every room.

4️⃣ Then the clean itself. If something can’t be fully removed, a good cleaner will show you — a video of them trying, sent during the job. Not an excuse after.

5️⃣ After photos when it’s done. Keys returned same day unless there’s no letterbox.

✅ That’s what a professional process looks like. Save this.
