Structure your cleaning quality control checklist around three moments
Cleaning teams win when QC happens before, during, and after the job. Map them inside Toolfy so nothing slips:
- Pre-job: supervisor reviews scope + site notes, checks supplies, and confirms photos on file.
- Mid-job: quick photo or checklist at halfway point to catch misses early.
- Post-job: final inspection with customer or keyholder, plus review request automation.
Scorecards that live inside Toolfy
Build a Toolfy checklist with weighted items (Kitchen 30%, Bathrooms 35%, Floors 20%, Extras 15%). Add pass/fail toggles plus photo proof. When teams submit, attach the PDF and send a Slack summary. Customers see the professionalism, and you get shareable evidence.
Close the loop within 2 hours
If QC fails, create a follow-up job with auto notifications to the customer. Offer an SLA (e.g., “We re-clean within two hours or credit your invoice”). Track credits in Toolfy Expenses so finance sees impact.
Deliver 5-star cleans repeatedly
Toolfy checklists, photos, and automations keep your standards consistent no matter which crew shows up. Use this QC system to win more commercial contracts.
