How KleanLinc works for cleaners: from sign-up to your first job
How KleanLinc is planned to work for self-employed cleaners in the UK: joining free, building a profile, choosing jobs and agreeing rates directly.
By KleanLinc · Updated · 4 min read

KleanLinc is a UK platform built to connect independent cleaners with landlords, property managers, short-let hosts, businesses and households who need cleaning. It is preparing to launch, so the steps below describe how the platform is planned to work.
This guide walks through each stage, from joining the Founding Cleaner list today to agreeing your first job directly with an employer.
What KleanLinc is, and what it is not
KleanLinc is a cleaning-only marketplace. It helps people who need cleaning find and connect with local, independent cleaners. It is not a cleaning agency or a cleaning company.
- KleanLinc does not employ cleaners.
- KleanLinc does not allocate work or set your rates.
- KleanLinc does not process wages or payment for cleaning work.
You stay in business for yourself. If you are new to that, start with how to become a self-employed cleaner in the UK.
Step 1: join the Founding Cleaner list
The Founding Cleaner registration takes a couple of minutes. It asks for your name, email address, your town, city or area and the types of cleaning you offer. Your phone number and postcode are optional.
The cleaning types on the form are regular cleaning, deep cleaning, end of tenancy, short-let changeover and commercial cleaning. Tick every one you offer. KleanLinc uses this to plan its first launch areas.
There is a separate, optional tick box if you would like launch updates and occasional news by email. You can join the list without ticking it.
Step 2: build your profile when setup opens
Founding Cleaners are the first to hear when profile setup opens. The planned profile brings together:
- a short description of you and your work
- the services you offer
- your experience
- an indicative rate
- your town and how far you will travel
- your availability
Employers see your town and travel distance, not your home address. There is no live location tracking. Our guide on how to write a cleaner profile has example bios you can adapt.
Step 3: submit documents for review
As part of profile setup, KleanLinc plans to ask for supporting documents for administrative review. An authorised person makes the final review decision. See what documents you will need to get ready.
Employers do not receive copies of your private identity, address, right-to-work or DBS documents through the normal platform flow. They may see a review status only.
Step 4: choose the opportunities you want
Employers will describe what they need: the property or workplace, the tasks, the timing and an indicative budget. You read the requirement and decide whether to respond. Nothing is allocated to you automatically, and you can say no.
Our guide to self-employed cleaning jobs covers how to judge a request and write a good reply.
Step 5: connect and agree the work directly
When an employer wants to speak with you, you decide whether to be introduced for that work. Once you agree and any required checks are complete, the employer uses credits to unlock messaging and the contact details you have approved for sharing.
From there, you and the employer agree the work, the price and how you will be paid. The employer pays you directly. KleanLinc takes no commission. Read why KleanLinc does not charge cleaners for more.
Step 6: build a record of completed work
Planned ratings follow completed work. They give future employers context about your work. They do not promise repeat jobs, rankings or earnings.
Why join before launch?
Founding Cleaners hear first when profiles open, so you can set up before launch publicity begins and be visible to local employers from the start.
KleanLinc is a UK platform preparing to launch. Joining the Founding Cleaner list is free and records your interest only: it does not create a live account or guarantee work.
