Bidding • Janitorial Bid Calculations
Precise bid calculations for commercial cleaning
Cleaning times auto-calculated using task-based work loading support accurate pricing. Build more precise janitorial bids based on the work required—not rough guesses.
Building Setup
Auto-load building areas
Instantly set up the right areas and cleaning tasks for the building you’re bidding on.
CleanGuru auto-loads areas, floor types, and cleaning tasks based on the building type and cleaning frequency you select. This means a medical office, school or auto dealer instantly builds out with the layout and task schedule appropriate to that facility.
This eliminates guesswork and removes hours of manual setup, giving you a structured, professional bid from the start. Choose from pre-loaded 25+ building templates—office, medical, manufacturing, retail, church, school, and more—so every proposal feels customized while still being fast and consistent.
Cleaning Time Estimates
Auto-calculates precise cleaning time estimates
Know exactly how long the cleaning tasks should take for the janitorial work required (job specifications) for the building your bidding on.
CleanGuru automatically calculates a precise cleaning time estimate for each visit using task-based workloading and field-tested production rates. Instead of guessing how long a building should take to clean, you get a precise, data-driven estimate—down to the exact hours and minutes—the moment you load the building.
Because every task and frequency can be adjusted, the cleaning time recalculates instantly—giving you complete control and transparent accuracy. This protects your margins, prevents underbidding, and strengthens your credibility with prospects.
Price Recommendations
Generate instant price recommendations
Consistent, defensible pricing – every bid, every time.
CleanGuru uses your calculated cleaning time, wages, overhead, and profit targets to generate recommended monthly pricing instantly. You never have to manually crunch numbers or rely on rough estimates again — your pricing is fast, consistent, and defensible.
Adjust wages, hours, or profit percentage and watch your price update in real time. This makes it easy to build competitive bids for tight margins or premium proposals for higher-expectation clients.
Built for janitorial bidding, not generic estimating
Many bidding tools rely on rough estimates or square-foot pricing alone. CleanGuru helps janitorial companies calculate cleaning time and pricing with task-based workloading built for recurring commercial cleaning.
Follow-up Automation
Auto-send janitorial bid follow-up emails
Stay top-of-mind without lifting a finger after the walkthrough.
Choose from a set of pre-written follow-up templates — thank-you, check-ins, next-step nudges — and CleanGuru will schedule and send the email automatically. Each message can pull in your company name, logo, photo and proposal details for a clean, branded experience.
You stay top-of-mind without remembering to manually send anything, dramatically increasing your close rate. Prospects receive timely, professional follow-ups after the walkthrough and once they’ve received your cleaning proposal — whether you emailed it or delivered it in person.
Why precise janitorial bid calculations matter
Guessing at cleaning time and pricing can cost you the job—or the profit. Here’s what more precise bidding helps protect.
