How CleanCheck Works: Before & After Photos for Cleaning Companies
If you run a cleaning company with staff, you've probably faced this at some point: a client says the clean wasn't done properly, but you have no way to prove otherwise. Or a cleaner finishes a job and you have no idea whether they actually completed everything on the checklist. These are the gaps that CleanCheck is designed to close.
CleanCheck is a job management app built specifically for cleaning companies. It lets you assign jobs to your team, have cleaners complete a room-by-room photo checklist on-site, and automatically send clients a branded proof-of-clean report when the job is done. Here's how it works in practice.
Step 1: You assign the job
From the admin dashboard, you create a job and assign it to a cleaner or a team. You can set the property address, the checklist template (regular clean, deep clean, end-of-tenancy, etc.), and the scheduled time. The cleaner receives a notification on their phone with all the details — no need for WhatsApp messages or printed sheets.
Step 2: The cleaner completes the checklist on-site
When the cleaner arrives, they open CleanCheck on their phone and work through the checklist room by room. For each room, they take a before photo when they arrive and an after photo when they're done. They tick off each task as they complete it — kitchen surfaces, bathroom, hoovering, mopping, and so on. Everything is timestamped and geotagged automatically.
This creates an unambiguous record of what was done, when, and by whom. If a client ever questions the quality of a clean, you have photographic evidence to refer back to — which protects both you and your team.
Step 3: The client gets an automatic report
Once the job is marked complete, CleanCheck automatically generates a branded proof-of-clean report and sends it to the client. The report includes the before and after photos, the completed checklist, and the job details. Clients can also receive it via WhatsApp with a single tap — which is particularly useful for property managers and landlords who want a quick overview on their phone.
This kind of transparency is increasingly expected by professional clients. According to the ICO, keeping records of work completed is also good practice from a data and accountability perspective — particularly if you're working in residential properties.
Who is CleanCheck for?
CleanCheck is designed for cleaning companies with staff — typically two or more cleaners — who need a way to manage jobs and maintain quality standards without being on-site for every clean. It's particularly useful for:
- Cleaning companies managing multiple properties or clients simultaneously
- Property management companies that need documented proof of cleans
- End-of-tenancy specialists where photographic evidence is essential
- Airbnb and short-let property managers who need fast turnaround confirmation
- Any cleaning business that wants to reduce client complaints and disputes
How does it connect with the rest of GoClean?
CleanCheck is part of the wider GoClean toolkit. If you're also using GoClean Pricing to quote jobs, or GoClean CRM to manage your client relationships, all three tools work together. The CRM even has CleanCheck built in as a sidebar menu item, so you can switch between quoting, job management, and client communication without logging into separate apps.
