CleanQueue
Automated cleaning scheduler for Airbnb hosts and offices - sync calendars, dispatch cleaners, verify completion with photos, all without a single text message
The Problem
Airbnb hosts with 3-15 properties and small office managers waste 10+ hours weekly coordinating cleaners via text chains that get ignored or lost. They manually check calendars, message cleaners for each checkout, have no proof cleaning happened, discover problems after guests arrive, chase down cleaners for payment confirmations, and lose bookings when turnaround fails. One missed cleaning costs $200-500 in cancellations and refunds.
The Solution
Automated cleaner dispatch system that syncs with Airbnb/VRBO calendars to auto-schedule cleanings after each checkout, sends cleaner assignments via SMS with property access codes, requires photo verification of completed tasks (bathroom, kitchen, beds made), logs check-in/out times with GPS stamps, tracks which cleaner did which property for quality accountability, and handles payment tracking. Turns 10 hours of coordination into 30 minutes of oversight.
