What this tool is good for

A quick way to organize the starting structure before a walkthrough.

Organize your outline by area

Group the work under restrooms, offices, breakrooms, and other areas of the building.

Set service frequencies

Mark each area as daily, weekly, or monthly so the outline shows how often each space is serviced.

Use it as a walkthrough template

Walk into the building with a ready-made outline. Fill in the tasks for each area as you go.

Start from a common format

Use the same outline structure for each bid, so estimators and team members are working from one clear format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cleaning scopes of work, job specifications, janitorial proposals, and turning an outline into a full bid.

A cleaning scope of work is a clear list of the areas to clean, the tasks to perform, and how often the work should be done. It helps the cleaning company and the client understand what is included before a proposal is finalized.

A cleaning scope of work should include the building areas, cleaning tasks, service frequencies, special instructions, and client expectations. It is usually organized by area, such as restrooms, offices, breakrooms, and entryways, with the tasks and frequencies listed under each area.

A cleaning scope of work and job specifications are closely related. The scope of work explains the areas, tasks, and frequencies included in the job. Job specifications may include more detailed instructions, standards, and requirements for how the work should be done.

No. This tool creates a starting outline for the scope of work. It does not calculate cleaning time, build pricing, assign detailed task frequencies, or create a finished proposal.

Yes. A walkthrough is still needed to confirm the actual areas, tasks, conditions, and client expectations. This tool can help you prepare, but the final details should come from the building and the client.

CleanGuru helps turn the outline into a full janitorial bid. It can load cleaning tasks, organize task frequencies, calculate cleaning time, generate pricing, and create a professional proposal.
