How to make an app for a cleaning service

A cleaning business juggles bookings across localities, teams of two or three, supplies, and payments collected at the door. An app keeps the day's jobs, who is going where, what each job includes and who has paid, so the office and the team supervisor work from the same list.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The owner and team supervisors. If the supervisors check their jobs on their own phones, connect a Supabase database so everyone sees the same bookings. An app for customers to book slots themselves also needs that database.

The screens a cleaning service app needs

Bookings: Jobs by date with the customer, locality, flat size, service and the team assigned
New booking: Pick the service and flat size; the price fills in, then pick a date, time and team, and confirm on WhatsApp
Job checklist: What the team must clean on this job, ticked off room by room, with photos you attach at the end
Teams: Each team's members and the jobs they have that day
Payments: Cash and UPI collected per job, dues still pending and the day's total
Customers: Search by name or phone, with past jobs and a WhatsApp button

Features worth asking for

A price list by flat size and item, so a new booking's price fills in by itself
A WhatsApp confirmation with date, time, address and what to keep ready
A room-by-room checklist so nothing in the package is missed
A job receipt as a PDF to share with the customer
A repeat list: customers whose last deep clean was months ago, with a WhatsApp message ready
Supplies used per job, to know when to reorder chemicals and pads

Where the data lives

If only the office phone takes bookings, the data can stay on that phone. If team supervisors open their jobs on their own phones, or customers book themselves, connect your own Supabase database from the chat; add Razorpay for advance payments, and the money goes to you.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Bookings, New booking, Job checklist, Teams, Payments.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your cleaning service, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my home cleaning business, Reddy Home Cleaning Services in Hyderabad. Screens: bookings, new booking, job checklist, teams, payments and customers. A booking has the customer, address with a Google Maps link, flat size, services, date, time and a team. Prices come from my price list: 1 BHK ₹2,999, 2 BHK ₹3,999, 3 BHK ₹5,499, bathroom ₹699, sofa ₹349 per seat. Each job has a room-by-room checklist. Record cash or UPI payments per job. Add a WhatsApp confirmation button and a list of customers due for another cleaning. Blue and white colours.

Tips for a cleaning service app

Write your price list exactly as you quote today, including extras, so the app's prices match what customers hear on the phone.
Keep the job checklist short: the items customers most often complain about, room by room.
Start with bookings and payments. Add supplies tracking after a few weeks of use.
Ask for the WhatsApp confirmation in English and Telugu, or whichever language your customers use.
Run one week of real bookings alongside your notebook before you stop using it.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't track teams live on a map and doesn't send automatic SMS. Teams open the address in Google Maps, and confirmations go out when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can customers book a cleaning slot in the app?

Yes, if the app is connected to your Supabase database so it knows which teams are free. Ask for a customer screen that shows open slots by date.

Can my team see only their own jobs?

Yes, with sign-in and an online database. Each team supervisor logs in and sees the jobs assigned to them.

Can the app work out the price from the flat size?

Yes. Give AppCub your rates for each flat size and extra item, and the new booking screen adds them up.

Can I take an advance for festival bookings?

Yes, with a payment button on your own Razorpay account, after you connect Razorpay and Supabase in the chat. The money goes straight to you.

Can the team upload after-cleaning photos?

Yes, photos can be attached to a job on the phone that takes them. If the team works on their own phones and the office needs to see their photos too, tell AppCub when you connect the database and it will say what it can set up.

Can I run office cleaning contracts in the same app?

Yes. Ask for a contract type with a fixed monthly fee and a visit schedule, next to one-time home bookings.
