How KleanLinc works for businesses: finding local, independent cleaners

KleanLinc does not employ cleaners or supply cleaning staff. It gives you one place to describe what you need, compare local, independent cleaners and get in touch. The arrangement itself is between you and the cleaner.

Not sure which route suits you? Compare a self-employed cleaner and a cleaning company, or read cleaning agency or marketplace.

The Founding Employer registration asks which type of employer you are (landlord or property manager, short-let host, business or household), your name, email and town, city or area. Businesses also give their organisation name and Companies House registration number, which are used as part of the registration review. Phone and postcode are optional.

There is a separate, optional tick box for launch updates and occasional news by email.

When the platform launches, you will be able to post a cleaning opportunity: a short title, what needs doing, the date and times of day, an indicative budget and the property or site it relates to. Linking each requirement to a property keeps responses and messages organised if you manage more than one site.

Our guide on how to post a cleaning job includes a template you can use.

You can also browse local cleaners. Planned profile summaries show experience, services, indicative rates, availability, town and travel distance, and an administrative review status. Summaries are limited and do not identify the cleaner until an introduction is agreed.

• The exact unlock cost, and the access it provides, is shown before you confirm.
• Contact details are released only after the cleaner agrees to be introduced to you for that work and any required checks are complete.
• Pending or declined requests use no credits.
• An unlock gives access to messaging and the contact details the cleaner has approved for sharing.

Credit packs, prices and the number of credits per introduction are still proposals. See pricing and the proposed credit policy. No credits are on sale yet.

You and the cleaner agree the scope, schedule, price and payment between you. KleanLinc takes no commission on the cleaner's rate and does not process payment for the cleaning. For larger arrangements, put the details in writing using our guide to commercial cleaning contracts.

Planned ratings follow completed work, so future employers have useful context.

As with any route to a cleaner, you make your own checks and decisions. You remain responsible for site-specific health and safety, inductions, insurance and any regulatory requirements in your premises. Read what cleaner checks really mean.

KleanLinc is a UK platform preparing to launch. It is not a cleaning company: the planned platform will let businesses post requirements, review relevant profiles of local, independent cleaners and agree terms directly. Joining the Founding Employer list is free and records interest only.
