The owner or office manager of a US cleaning business: a maid service, a janitorial contractor, or a carpet, window, gutter, pressure-washing or post-construction cleaner who quotes recurring work and pays a crew.Not the householder or facilities manager looking for someone to clean, not another trade, and not a studio or clinic booking appointments.
Sudslane is for the person who runs a cleaning business in the United States: the residential maid service with three to thirty cleaners, the janitorial contractor holding office and medical accounts, and the specialist who does carpet, window, gutter or post-construction work. The free sheets cost a clean to the hour from your own wage, hours and supplies, then turn that cost into a flat rate at the margin you choose. Pro keeps the customers, the recurring schedule, the crew's hours, the quotes and the invoices on one record.

Upgrading turns a worked sheet into the job. The price you calculated is saved against that customer and that address, so next quarter you are not doing the arithmetic again from memory; the visit goes on the recurring board and comes back every fortnight without being retyped; the crew's hours land against the visit; and the invoice carries your business name rather than ours.

Price, schedule, invoice
Two cleaners for three hours is six paid hours, and a nineteen dollar wage is not a nineteen dollar cost once the employer's payroll tax is on it. Sudslane starts there, adds supplies, the van and your overhead per hour, and only then asks what margin you want.
Cleaning is repeat work, so the schedule is built around a repeating visit rather than a diary entry someone has to retype. Change the crew on one visit or on every visit after it, and the board keeps up.
When the customer calls in six months and asks why the price moved, the answer is on their record: the hours, the wage, the supplies and the margin that produced the old number and the new one.
If you also fit boilers, mow lawns or run electricians, buy a suite: Housecall Pro and Jobber cover sixteen trades and will cover cleaning well enough. Sudslane is for the business whose whole day is cleaning, where the price is built out of paid hours and supplies and the schedule is a repeating visit rather than a one-off call-out.
