The easiest way to keep your client’s home clean.
The Ruizes are in Ohio. Tuesdays you clean the condo, work your list, take the after photos, lock up. Their phone buzzes with today’s photos and the bill, so nobody texts to ask if you came.

Clean the same homes on a schedule.
The owners are away for months at a time. You clean every other week, keep their door codes on file, and send them a photo when something looks wrong. All of it is on their home’s record, under your name.
Turnovers show up on your schedule.
When the family books a stay, the cleaning goes on your schedule for the day they leave. Take photos when you’re done and they get them that day.
Checks and cleans, one invoice.
Between stays, walk the house with a checklist and take photos. It is billed as a check, on the same monthly invoice as your cleans.
If checks are most of your weekYou clean the rooms. They see the after photos.
One clean, two phones. Yours is the list for that house, room by room with the camera, low or out on the supplies. Theirs is today’s photos and the bill, sent as you lock up. Scroll both.
Your side: the condo’s list, room by room, with photos. Save & send report closes the clean.

What the Ruizes open: today’s photos, your note, what’s low, and the Pay button.
Every ask lands on your list. Nothing to dig out of your texts.
The Ruizes have guests landing Friday. Sunday they ask from their app for the guest bath and fresh towels, and mark the paper towels low. Tuesday both are on your Gulf Dr list with their note, and when you’re done, their report says so.
The owner asked you to look at these. Record what you did and it goes in their report.
The work is done. So is the invoice.
Lock up, and the clean is already an invoice or a Venmo request with the photos attached. Bill each clean, or a family’s month at once. On your own Stripe, Wave or Venmo - House Matters takes no cut, sells no leads, and keeps unbilled and unpaid on your screen until they’re settled.
Your accounts, your money - House Matters sends the invoice and keeps the record. See pricing →
Set it once. It holds.
Weekly, every two weeks, monthly, your own days, or after each stay: a schedule per house, and the route builds itself with overdue first. Pause a home for the summer and it stops counting toward your three.
You know when they leave, before they text you.
The family books their stay in their own free app. The moment they do, the turnover clean is on your route for the day they check out. No calendar to chase, no Sunday-night “are you coming tomorrow?” If a family doesn’t use the app, you type the date and it works the same.
What else it does while you clean.
Built from a working cleaner’s real week.
Per clean or per hour
“Cleaning · 2.5 hrs × $45” or a flat rate per house. Extras at prices you set once: inside the oven, the fridge, the windows, charged the moment you do them.
A deep clean, priced once
Put a price on it, the owner taps yes from wherever they are, and the bill can’t go past it.
Add the person who cleans with you
They tick the list and take the photos under their own name. Rates, invoices and payments stay yours. No per-user fee.
Pause the off-season
The beach house closes for the summer? Pause it - it leaves your route and your count, and comes back on the date you set.
Keys, codes and the alarm word
On the home’s page, where you need them, and nowhere else. Nobody but you sees your client list.
Collections that chase themselves
Card and bank invoices remind on their own; a Venmo request gets a polite nudge instead of an awkward text.
Your work and the bill, by text and by email.
The moment you finish, the owner’s phone gets a text and an email with the link.
The family books their stay and the turnover is on your route the day they leave.

Plain answers, before you ask.
The questions cleaners ask on the first call, answered the way they’d be answered on the phone.
What is House Matters, in one paragraph?
House Matters is cleaning business software for small cleaning businesses. A place for every client home, a cleaning list per house, photos from the camera on every clean, the owner’s report as a link that needs no account, and your invoice or Venmo request the moment you lock up. Your first three client homes are free, then $19 a month. No per-cleaner fee. Works in your browser on any phone.
Do you pull my clients’ Airbnb or VRBO calendar?
No. When the family books the stay in their House Matters app, the turnover lands on your route the day they leave. When they don’t, you type the date. Nothing is pulled from anywhere.
Does my client need an account?
No. The report and the invoice are links that open in any browser. If they want the keys, the stays, the supply list and every bill in one place, House Matters is free for the homeowner - and your cleans are already in it.
I use Turno for my rental clients. Why this?
Turno is the host’s tool; this is yours. Turno hands you their checklist and keeps the refund button. House Matters is your list, your photos, your report under your name, and your invoice - for the rental and for the regular houses too. Keep Turno for the marketplace jobs if you like it.
I use ZenMaid or Jobber today.
They’re priced for a crew; this is free to three homes and $19 after, no per-cleaner fee. Bring your client list as a spreadsheet, add each home once with its list and its schedule, and you’re cleaning by Thursday. There’s no booking form or crew dispatch here - if you need those, keep what you have.
My clients pay by Venmo or cash.
Keep Venmo - the request carries the photos and the itemized clean. Card and bank invoices go through your own Stripe or Wave when a client wants a receipt. Cash and Zelle aren’t in the app; mark the clean paid and move on.
Is there a Spanish version? Android? Does it work with no signal?
Not yet, yes on Google Play, and you need a bar when you tap Complete. On the App Store and Google Play, and in your browser on any phone, at the house.
Get the House Matters app: housematters.app/get. Take photos as you go - the app holds them - and tap Complete once you have signal.
Where does my money go?
Straight to you. Invoices and requests go out on your own Stripe, Wave or Venmo. House Matters takes no cut, holds no money, and sells no leads.
I need clients, or a booking page.
Not here, and it’s better to say so. House Matters is for the cleaner who already has the houses and wants the list, the photos, the report and the invoice to take care of themselves. Where the second-home clients actually come from is in the first-25-clients guide - it applies to cleaners word for word.
Whose data is it?
Yours. Your clients, homes, codes, photos and invoices belong to you. Ask, and House Matters sends you a spreadsheet of all of it within a week, or deletes the account and everything in it.
