// For cleaning companies

Every site cleaned, checked and proven - from one app.

Contract cleaning runs on dozens of sites, rotating teams and clients who want proof. DuoApp puts your recurring schedules, clock-ins, quality audits and timesheets in one place your cleaners will actually use on their phones - so you know the work was done, and your clients can see it too.

// Sound familiar?

Cleaning is simple. Running a cleaning company isn't.

The work happens out of hours, across sites you rarely visit, by people you can't see. These are the problems cleaning firms tell us about most.

Did anyone actually turn up?

You find out a site was missed when the client rings. Paper signing-in sheets and WhatsApp messages don't tell you who was there, or for how long.

Your word against theirs

When a client complains, you have nothing to show them. Without timestamped photos and signed-off checklists, a credit note becomes the easy way out.

Schedules in someone's head

Daily cleans are easy. Monthly deep cleans, quarterly high-level dusting and window rounds live in a spreadsheet that's never up to date.

Payroll by guesswork

Chasing hours at the end of the week, re-keying timesheets and arguing over overtime eats a day of every week.

Gaps you discover at 6am

Holidays and sickness leave sites uncovered, and you only find out when the shift should already have started.

Compliance in five inboxes

COSHH assessments, DBS checks, insurance and training certificates are scattered around - and expire without anyone noticing until a tender or audit asks for them.

// How DuoApp helps

Built around how cleaning teams work.

Everything below is included in the same £10 per user. Pick the parts you need now and switch on the rest as you grow.

Sites, schedules and recurring cleans

Set up each client and site once, then add the work as tasks that repeat daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or at any interval you like. The next visit appears as soon as the last one is completed, and overdue work stands out.

  • Recurring tasks at any interval
  • Assign work to a cleaner or a team
  • Edit or complete dozens of tasks at once

Clock-in at the client's premises

Cleaners clock in and out on their phone, optionally checked against the site boundary at that moment. You see who is on site right now and keep a record of every visit to show the client.

  • Optional geofenced clock-in and out
  • Live who's-on-site list
  • Attendance reports per site and per person
More on Site Attendance →

Quality audits with photo evidence

Turn your cleaning specification into checklists. Supervisors mark each area pass, fail or not applicable, add photos and a signature, and every audit is stored against the site with a full audit trail.

  • Pass / fail / N/A checks per area
  • Photos and signatures on every audit
  • Works offline and syncs when signal returns
More on Quality Control →

Timesheets that match the work

Hours are captured as the work happens, not rebuilt from memory on a Friday. Approve them in one place and hand accurate figures to payroll - or pay self-employed cleaners against real visits.

  • Hours captured from the job
  • One-place approval
  • Contractor invoices against real work
More on Invoices & Timesheets →

COSHH, DBS and certificates under control

Keep COSHH assessments, DBS checks, insurance and training certificates against each person. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.

  • Expiry warnings before it's too late
  • Approval inbox for new documents
  • Ready for tenders and client audits
More on Document Compliance →

Holidays, sickness and cover

Leave requests, approvals and allowances in one place, with a team availability view - so you can arrange cover before a site is missed, not after.

  • Request and approve leave in the app
  • See who's off across every site
  • Allowances tracked automatically
More on Holiday Planner →

Let clients see the work

Add client contacts as users who see only their own sites - visits, audits and photos, without your costs. They're the same flat £10, with no separate client portal to buy.

  • Access set per role and per site
  • Clients never see your rates
  • Same price for every user
More on Permissions →

Tap-to-check-in plates Soon

Fix an NFC plate at each site entrance and cleaners tap their phone to check in, with a QR code for phones without NFC. Check-ins feed straight into Site Attendance.

  • Proof of presence at the exact location
  • QR code fallback
  • No hardware to wire in

// Cleaning FAQs

Questions cleaning companies ask us.

Is DuoApp suitable for a small cleaning company?
Yes. You pay £10 per user, per month, so a team of five costs £50 a month with every feature included. There's no minimum contract, you can add and remove people as your team changes, and you're billed pro-rata.
Can I schedule recurring cleans?
Yes. Any task can repeat every day, week, month, quarter, year or a custom interval. The next one appears as soon as the last is completed, or a set number of days before it's due, and overdue work is highlighted.
How can I prove to a client that a clean was done?
Each visit can carry a clock-in record (optionally checked against the site boundary), plus a quality audit with photos, a signature and a timestamp. You can also give the client their own login that shows only their sites.
Can my cleaners use their own phones?
Yes. DuoApp runs on iOS and Android phones, tablets, desktop and any browser. Quality audits work offline and sync when signal returns, which matters in basements and plant rooms.
Does DuoApp track my cleaners' location all the time?
No. By default, location is only checked at the moment someone clocks in or out, and only if you turn geofencing on. Live tracking during working hours is a separate, optional setting with its own safeguards.
How much does it cost and is there a free trial?
£10 per user, per month plus VAT, with every feature included. There's a 14-day free trial of the full platform, and you can cancel any time from the billing screen.
