Recurring routes, checklists, photo proof

Plan the stops, hand every cleaner the right list, and see the photos before you invoice.

MopRoute turns your recurring accounts into a routed day, opens the exact scope of work for each building on the cleaner's phone, and closes the stop with timestamped pictures of the items you flagged. Owners running 2 to 20 cleaners work the whole morning from one board instead of a group text and a printed sheet.

268 US cleaning companies dispatch from the route board every weekday.

612,400 stops closed with photo proof attached to the ticket.

One afternoon from spreadsheet to a routed first morning.

Stop one: the 5 a.m. scramble

The day does not fall apart at the property. It falls apart in the van.

Cleaning is a business of small promises repeated hundreds of times a week. When the promise lives in your head, in a text thread and on a laminated sheet in the supply closet, it breaks quietly, and you find out when a property manager writes on a Monday.

The 5:40 a.m. callout

One cleaner texts that her son is sick and four routes have to be rebuilt from memory before sunrise. You are dispatching from a parking lot with a phone in one hand and a coffee on the roof of the truck.

47 minutes of owner time per callout

Scope that grows in silence

The office manager asks your cleaner to wipe the refrigerator, then the interior glass, then the conference room chairs. Nothing is written down, so the extra twenty minutes a night never reaches an invoice.

$2,600 a year in unbilled work per account

The complaint you cannot answer

A property manager says the third floor restrooms were skipped on Thursday. Your cleaner swears they were done. With no photo and no timestamp, you eat the argument and send somebody back for free.

$180 plus fuel for every credited re-clean

Stops ordered by habit

Routes get built the way they always were, so a van crosses town twice and waits outside a lobby that does not open until 7:30. Windshield time is the most expensive hour in a cleaning company and nobody bills for it.

6.2 hours a week of unbilled driving per van

Stop two: how a route is built

From your account list to a closed ticket, in four moves.

Nothing here asks you to change how you sell or how you clean. It asks you to write the scope down once, then lets the board repeat it every service day without you.

  1. Load the properties and their recurrence

    Send us your account spreadsheet or type the buildings in yourself. Set each one to weekly, every other Tuesday, the first and third Friday, or five nights a week, and MopRoute keeps producing the stops without anyone touching a calendar again.

  2. Let the board sequence tomorrow

    Each cleaner's day is ordered by drive time and by the access window the building actually allows. A suite that opens at 7:30 never lands at 7:05, and the van stops crossing the same intersection three times a shift.

  3. The cleaner works the property checklist

    Tapping a stop opens the scope of work for that building, room by room, in the order the crew walks it. Any line you marked photo required will not tick off until a picture is attached, so the standard travels with the job instead of living in your head.

  4. Close the stop and keep the proof

    The stop closes with the time, the cleaner's name and the photos, and it lands on your board within seconds. Send the week to a property manager as a proof link, or attach the PDF to the invoice so the picture arrives before the question does.

Stop three: what is on the board

Six things a cleaning company actually needs on a Tuesday.

Every screen was drawn next to an owner with a clipboard on the dashboard. If a feature did not survive a real night shift, it is not here.

Recurring route board

Set a property to its real rhythm once, whether that is every Monday, the first and third Thursday, or five nights a week, and the stops appear on the right van forever after. Drag a stop between cleaners and both phones update before you put yours back in your pocket.

Checklists that match the contract

Write the scope of work per building, grouped by room, in the order your crew walks the floor. When you win a new account you copy the closest checklist, change six lines, and the standard is on the phone the same day.

Photo required lines

Flag the lines that always come back as complaints, such as glass doors, restroom floors and the dumpster corral, and that item will not tick off without a picture. Photos carry the time, the property and the cleaner, so a Monday email never turns into a guessing match.

Callout coverage in two taps

When somebody cannot make the shift, mark them out and the board shows which stops fit which remaining route by drive time. Reassign the ones you want, and the cleaners picking them up get the address, the codes and the checklist without a phone call.

Access notes, codes and quirks

Gate code, lockbox location, alarm sequence, which door sticks, where the dog sleeps and who to call at 11 p.m. all live on the stop itself. New hires and substitute cleaners stop calling you from a dark parking lot at the exact moment you sat down to dinner.

Proof links and invoice exports

Every account gets a shareable page showing the last thirty days of closed stops with their photos, which you can send to a property manager without giving anyone a login. Export the same period as a PDF for the invoice or a CSV for whoever does your books.

Stop four: what changes

What owners tell us moved after the first full month.

These figures come from 61 companies that shared their before and after numbers with us between March 2025 and January 2026. Where a spread was wide we published the middle of it rather than the happiest owner in the group.

31 min

Back in the owner's morning

Routes are already built when you wake up, so the first hour goes to selling and walkthroughs instead of retyping addresses into a group text.

78%

Fewer credited re-cleans

When a complaint arrives with a photo already attached to the stop, most of them end in one reply instead of a truck roll and a free night.

4.3 days

Faster payment on commercial work

Invoices that ship with a proof link get approved by the property manager sooner, because the person signing it can see the work without emailing anyone.

22 stops

More coverage per van each week

Tighter sequencing and honest access windows recover drive time, which is how a two van company takes on another small medical account without hiring.

Stop five: owners on the record

Three owners, three very different books of business.

Night medical offices, daytime residential, and a mixed commercial book. The route is the same shape in all three, and so is the argument you no longer have to win.

We clean fourteen medical offices at night and the scope is different in every one of them. My lead used to call me at nine at night to ask whether the exam room floors got mopped or burnished. Now the building tells her, and the photos are sitting in my inbox before I get up.

Dana Whitfield Owner, Brightline Janitorial Services, Toledo, Ohio

Two cleaners called out on the same Tuesday in February, which used to be a two hour phone problem. I moved eleven stops onto other routes in about four minutes and nobody in the field had to decode a group text to figure out where they were headed. That morning is the whole reason we kept paying.

Marcus Ibarra Operations Manager, Pine and Pail Cleaning Co., Boise, Idaho

A property manager told me my crew skipped the third floor restrooms on a Thursday. I forwarded six photos with the time stamped on them and she approved the invoice that afternoon. One email covered what this software costs me for the next three years, and my cleaner got an apology.

How to Build a Weekly Cleaning Route That Cuts Drive Time

Drive time is the one hour nobody pays for. Here is how small cleaning companies cluster accounts, match stops to client access windows, and size crews so a week of work actually fits the miles.

Production Rates: Square Feet Per Cleaner Hour by Task

A production rate turns square feet into hours and hours into a price. This is where published task times come from, how density and fixture counts change them, and how to build your own house rates.

Tell us how many cleaners you run and how many buildings they cover.

We will load one of your real service days onto a board before the call, so you are looking at your own accounts instead of a demo company. Thirty minutes on a shared screen, no slide deck, no sales engineer on the line.

  • Bring your account spreadsheet in any shape it happens to be in. We have read worse.
  • We will write your first property checklist live, using the scope from your actual contract.
  • If MopRoute is wrong for your book of business, we will say so on the call and tell you why.
