To move from a simple website to a fully automated cleaning business, you need a system that handles dynamic pricing (e.g., price by room or square footage), staff assignments, and WooCommerce payments.
Here are the top-tier solutions specifically built for cleaning service management on WordPress:
Cleanly is widely considered the most specialized tool for this niche. Unlike general booking plugins, it is built with the "cleaning logic" in mind.
Dynamic Pricing: It allows for calculations based on variables (e.g., $20 per bedroom + $15 per bathroom).
Multi-Step Forms: Guides customers through a logical flow: Service Type → Home Size → Extras (Fridge, Windows) → Schedule.
Staff Management: Assign specific cleaners to specific jobs and let them manage their own schedules via a dedicated panel.
WooCommerce Sync: Integrates perfectly with WooCommerce for professional invoicing and tax management.
Bookly is the gold standard for general appointments, but it becomes a powerhouse for cleaning when you use its "Service Extras" add-on.
Service Extras: Perfect for cleaning "add-ons" like "Oven Cleaning" or "Pet Hair Removal" which add both time and cost to the base booking.
Recurring Bookings: Essential for cleaning businesses. It allows customers to schedule weekly or bi-weekly cleanings in one transaction.
Custom Forms: You can add custom fields to ask about key locations or entry codes.
If you want to stay strictly within the WooCommerce ecosystem, the official WooCommerce Bookings extension is the most robust choice.
Resources as Staff: You can create "Resources" (your cleaners) and assign them to bookings to prevent double-booking.
Person-Based Pricing: You can vary the cost based on how many cleaners are sent to a location.
Buffer Times: Automatically adds "travel time" or "cleaning prep" between appointments so your team isn't late to the next house.

Most revenue in cleaning comes from the "Extras." When setting up your WooCommerce products, ensure you use a plugin that allows for Checkbox Add-ons. For example, a "Base Whole Home Clean" might be $150, but adding "Interior Windows" (+$30) and "Inside Cabinets" (+$40) can significantly increase your average order value.
