Cleaningplan
Travel-aware scheduling for cleaning businesses

A cleaning schedule that respects real drive time

Cleaning jobs are spread across a service area, not lined up in one building. Cleaningplan factors in the distance between your sites when it builds the week, so nobody gets booked into a commute that doesn’t actually fit between two jobs.

Built for teams that drive between jobs

Back-to-back bookings that ignore drive time are one of the most common ways a hand-built schedule breaks down. Here’s how the planner avoids it.

Distance from base, built into every shift

Every customer or site has an address and a distance from your base. The planner uses it to work out realistic travel time before booking a crew member into a back-to-back job.

No more impossible commutes

If two jobs on the same day don’t leave enough time to travel between them, the planner won’t book them back to back for the same person — the schedule you get is one your team can actually drive.

See travel load per employee

The weekly schedule shows how far each cleaner travels, so you can see when one person’s week is all driving and another’s is all sitting close to base.

How it works

1

Add each site’s distance from base

When you add a customer or building, enter its distance from your base once. The planner reuses it for every future week.

2

Build the week as normal

Set up your recurring jobs and one-off shifts the same way you always would — no separate routing step.

3

Get a schedule your crew can actually drive

The planner leaves a realistic travel gap between back-to-back jobs automatically, and flags anything it can’t fit instead of quietly overbooking someone.

Frequently asked questions

Does this optimize the order of stops on a route, like a delivery app?

No — Cleaningplan isn’t a turn-by-turn route optimizer. It doesn’t redraw your map or reorder stops. What it does is make sure your weekly schedule never books a back-to-back job without enough realistic drive time in between, using each site’s distance from your base.

How is travel time calculated?

Each customer or site has a distance from your base. When two jobs land on the same day for the same person, the planner estimates the drive time between them from that distance and leaves the gap — so it catches the "impossible commute" that spreadsheets miss.

Can I see how much each employee travels in a week?

Yes — the schedule shows travel per employee alongside their hours, so you can spot when someone’s week is unusually spread out before it becomes a complaint.

Is this useful for a business with jobs spread across a wide area?

Yes, that’s exactly where it helps most — the further apart your jobs are, the more a spreadsheet is likely to book someone into a commute that isn’t actually possible.
