For cleaning companies
AI Receptionist for Cleaning Companies, 24/7 Booking
Your AI agent answers every booking call in English and Spanish, collects the square footage and frequency to quote the job, and schedules the first clean on your calendar — so a one-time inquiry turns into a client who books every week.

For a cleaning company, a missed call isn't one lost job — it's a recurring client you'll never bill. The caller asking for a quote is usually shopping for someone to clean every week or every other week, which means the lifetime value of answering is months of standing revenue, and the cost of missing it is all of that going to the first company that picked up. The volume is relentless and the questions are predictable — square footage, how many bedrooms and baths, how often, one-time or recurring — but your crews are inside homes with vacuums running and nobody's at a desk. A big share of those callers prefer Spanish, and a quote line that can't greet them in it loses the job before the price ever comes up.
Cleaning demand is steadier than the trades, but it has its own rhythm: spring cleaning and the pre-holiday stretch drive one-time deep-clean spikes, and move-out season around month-end and summer brings a wave of empty-home jobs. Underneath those bumps the recurring book is the real business — the weekly and biweekly clients who make revenue predictable — so the calls that matter most aren't seasonal at all, they're the quote calls that turn into standing appointments.
Calls you can't afford to miss
Recurring-service booking
A caller wants weekly or biweekly cleaning — the most valuable booking you take. The agent captures the frequency, the address, and the preferred day, books the first clean to your calendar, and sets up the recurring cadence so a single call becomes a standing client.
Quote by square footage
Most calls start with "how much to clean my house." The agent walks the caller through square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of clean, then gives or captures a quote on your terms instead of making them wait for a callback that a competitor beats.
One-time deep clean or move-out
Move-outs, post-renovation, and holiday deep cleans are one-off jobs with a bigger ticket. The agent qualifies the scope and the deadline, books the visit, and flags it as a deep clean so your crew arrives with the right time blocked and the right expectations.
Spanish-language booking
A large share of cleaning callers prefer Spanish. With the dedicated Spanish-speaking assistants on the Pro plan, the agent greets, quotes, and books in Spanish, so a Spanish-speaking caller gets scheduled in their own language rather than hanging up on a line they can't use.

One captured job pays for the plan
The economics of a cleaning call are about frequency, not ticket size. A single house clean is a modest job, but the caller asking for a quote is usually a weekly or biweekly client, so the real value of answering is months of recurring revenue, not one visit — and that is what walks to a competitor when the call goes unanswered. Pricing is monthly: start with the $7 Test Drive (one-time, 7 days of full access), run on $39 Starter, or pick $99 Pro — recommended for trades — which includes Spanish-speaking assistants and enough conversations for a steady stream of quote calls. Scale to $249 Business as you add crews. Capacity is measured in conversations, not minutes, so a busy quoting day is handled at once while your crews stay on the job.

cleaning AI receptionist FAQ
Can the AI answer and book in Spanish?
Yes. The Pro plan includes dedicated Spanish-speaking assistants, so the large share of cleaning callers who prefer Spanish get greeted, quoted, and booked in their own language instead of hanging up. If you need one assistant to switch between English and Spanish within a single call, that lives on the Business plan.
Will it set up a recurring weekly or biweekly client?
Yes — that's the booking worth the most to a cleaning business. The agent captures the frequency and preferred day, books the first clean to your calendar, and sets the recurring cadence so one quote call becomes a standing client.
Can it quote a job over the phone?
It walks the caller through square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of clean, then gives or captures a quote on the terms you configure — so the caller gets a number while they're on the line instead of waiting for a callback a competitor beats.
Does it book into my calendar?
It books through Google Calendar or Calendly, offering only the slots you allow and confirming with the customer. If you use another scheduling tool, the agent emails the customer a booking link rather than writing to it directly.
What does it cost for a cleaning company?
Monthly pricing: a $7 one-time Test Drive for 7 days of full access, $39 Starter, $99 Pro (recommended for trades, with Spanish-speaking assistants), or $249 Business. A single recurring client booked typically covers the plan many times over across the months they stay.
