Maid teams sell trust and repetition: the same crew, the same checklist, the same billing rhythm. DusterBook supports recurring home cleaning with quotes, booking, scheduling, and invoice links—without running a consumer marketplace.
Recurring homes as the core
Most maid revenue is subscription-like even if you bill per visit. Use Team recurring jobs after the client accepts a maintenance quote. Deep cleans stay one-offs with separate line items.
Client communication via links
Homeowners approve quotes and pay invoices through links—there is no separate homeowner app or portal brand. Email carries notifications when delivery is configured. SMS reminders are not shipped.
Booking for new maid clients
Embed your booking page on your maid service website. Screen leads before confirming to avoid unrealistic travel distances.
Cleaner privacy
Cleaners should not browse your full price list. Assign jobs; they see addresses and notes relevant to that day.
Branding
Team uploads logos for a polished booking page. DusterBook badge removal is a Team entitlement.
Trial and billing you pay
14-day trial; Polar bills Solo or Team. Trial lapse → read-only workspace until upgrade.
Not a marketplace
Unlike lead sellers, DusterBook does not resell your availability to strangers. Compare Booking Koala if you wanted marketplace discovery.
Missing features
Customer card pay in-app, QuickBooks sync, automatic tip handling, supply inventory.
First clean vs recurring maid visits
Price move-out and first-time deep cleans as separate line items from weekly maintenance. When the homeowner accepts, convert to a job and, on Team, attach a recurring series so the calendar repopulates without retyping beds and baths every visit.
Supplies and client preferences
Use quote and job notes for fragrance-free products, pet gates, or “do not move items on the dresser.” DusterBook does not ship a checklist app—your notes travel with the assignment cleaners see on My jobs.
Growth without a marketplace
Your booking page is yours: embed it on your site or link from Instagram. Leads stay in your workspace; we do not resell them to other cleaners.
Billing you pay vs what clients pay
Your DusterBook subscription is separate from how you collect from homeowners (check, Venmo, or your own pay link). See billing & trial and pricing before you invite a second cleaner seat.
Quality visits over time
Photo proof and checklist scoring are not built in—use job notes when a supervisor spots a missed room. Over time, consistent line items on quotes make it easier to train new maids on what “done” means for each property tier (standard, deep, move-out).
When you promote a lead cleaner to manager, invite them on the Team plan so they can reassign jobs without seeing your subscription receipts. Owners retain billing control; managers focus on the calendar and customer messages you choose to share.
Route density and drive time
Maid routes fail when you stack homes too far apart on the same morning. Block travel buffers on the schedule board, group neighborhoods by day, and use booking intake to capture zip codes before you confirm. When a homeowner requests a day you cannot serve without breaking another route, decline or offer the next open slot in the same zone instead of silently stretching the crew past paid hours.
Seasonal and one-off upsells
Spring cleans, holiday prep, and move-out packages belong on separate quote templates so your recurring price stays stable. Tag customers in notes when they prefer afternoon visits or key lockbox codes, and reuse those notes on every recurring job generated from the accepted quote. If a client pauses service for vacation, mark the series inactive rather than deleting history—you will need last visit dates when they return.
Reporting for owners
Export customer and job CSV on Team when you reconcile payroll or marketing spend. Pair those exports with your own accounting tool; DusterBook focuses on quotes, jobs, and invoice links rather than full general ledger features.
