The problem
Independent house cleaners manage recurring clients, door codes, special requests and payments through phone notes and texts. Field-service software handles this, but several popular tools put checklists or automatic client reminders on plans costing $39-$150 a month. One missed reminder or forgotten request can cost a client.
For: Independent house cleaners · Cleaning crews of 2-5 · Vacation-rental turnover cleaners
Why now
BLS counts 1,332,100 maids and housekeeping cleaners in 2025, of whom 182,400 (13.7%) were self-employed.
