CleanerDesk Support & Operational Guides
Find clear, task-based instructions to set up, operate, and back up your CleanerDesk workspace.
Activation & Launching
Use CleanerDesk through the activated Web/PWA workspace. Native installers are still in draft certification and are not publicly released yet.
System Requirements
Web/PWA access is available now for up to four active computers. Native Mac and Windows apps are planned for a later certified release.
Configuring Your Rates
Navigate to Business Settings → Section 3 to set your base hourly target ($45–$75/hr), square footage multipliers, minimum job charges ($120–$180), and add-on pricing.
Profit Guard Setup
Enter your team labor wage rate ($18–$25/hr), cleaning supplies overhead allowance (typically 5–8%), travel reimbursement rate (such as an editable $0.35/mile operating cost assumption), and target profit margin (typically 40–55%).
Quoting in 30 Seconds
Open Quote Calculator, enter bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Choose a condition multiplier and review your estimated margin in Profit Guard before copying or printing.
Converting Quotes to Jobs
When a homeowner approves an estimate, open the quote in your Quotes Pipeline and click Convert to Active Job. CleanerDesk transfers customer details and price directly to your schedule.
Invoicing & Payment Tracking
Open any completed job to generate an itemized invoice. Print to PDF, record partial or full payments, and log payment methods (Zelle, check, cash, or card transaction IDs).
CleanerDesk Calibrator
After completing jobs, log your actual on-site hours. Calibrator analyzes variance against your original estimates to help you adjust your baseline square footage speeds.
Regular Data Backups
Go to Data & Backup and click Export .cqbackup weekly. Store your backup file on Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, or an external USB drive to prevent accidental data loss.
