Our Mission

Welcome to the Clean Day team! Our goal is to become the best cleaning service available and set ourselves apart from the competition. We stand out from other residential cleaning services by offering a personalized approach to each client. Clients are assigned a Client Manager who listens to their cleaning needs, manages their cleaning schedule, and strives to make each client feel heard and valued. You will be that Client Manager. You will be the face of our company and will connect with clients on a personal level. Your role is vital to the success and growth of the company, and with your help, we can achieve great things.

In just four short years, we have expanded our services across most of western PA and are working on expanding into Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia in the next two years. We know that the service we offer to the residential cleaning industry is innovative, untraditional, and highly sought after. After all, our clients are entrusting us with their homes. They don’t want to call an office, speak to a receptionist, and then have a team of strangers invade their personal space. They want another option, and that is what we provide.

We are excited for you to join us on this journey and to be part of what we truly feel is the beginning of what will one day be a household name. When people think “clean,” they will think of Clean Day!

The Clean Day Structure

Here at Clean Day, we contribute all our success and growth over just a few short years to our structures and systems. Everything we do, from the design of each management role to the training systems for those roles, how we gather client information to conducting the Meet and Greets, is all designed to handle exponential growth and to operate well at a higher volume. In all things Clean Day there is a system or a structure that makes it operate as smoothly as possible. 

Let’s go over some of these systems and structures so you can better understand how Clean Day operates on a daily basis. 

Scheduling Team

As of September 2023, we have added a Scheduling Team to all our locations. 

Our Schedulers receive all the needed information from the Client Managers about the Client’s availability, length of cleaning needed, how many housekeepers are needed, and so on. Client Managers will also communicate with the scheduling team if any changes need to be made to the client’s schedule. 

After the Scheduling Team has all the needed information, they will create and manage the client’s cleaning schedule moving forward. The scheduling team will work closely with the CMs to make sure all communication that the client may need is relayed.

Starting with Google Drive

This marks the official beginning of your training on becoming a Client Manager. Here at Clean Day, we use two major software systems as CMs, one is the Connecteam program and the other is the Google Office suite.

Google provides an extremely strong and versatile software platform that anyone with a Google email account is able to utilize, create within, and share with other Google email owners.

Clean Day uses the Google Office Suite to create and share documents, spreadsheets, databases, forms, and more.

To get started we are going to introduce you to Google Drive which is an online storage system that you will use on a daily basis within your role.

All the documents, templates, and databases you will need as a CM will be found in the “Shared with me” tab on the left-hand side of the main dashboard. 

You can use the search bar at the top of the drive at any time to search for a file by name. 

Google Drive Basics

It is important to know how to move folders and files and also create a copy of our templates so you don’t fill out the original that the rest of the team will need down the road.


The next two training videos will walk you through how to perform these simple tasks within the Google Drive.

Moving Files or Folders

How To Copy Files In Google Drive

Using Your Clean Day Email

By now you have created your Clean Day Gmail account (for example cleandayhousekeeping.ally@gmail.com). You will use this email to communicate with clients, send cleaning quotes, communicate with team members, and access your Google Drive and Google Voice Accounts. 

It is important to establish clear lines of communication with clients from the start and to present them with your work contact info vs your private information. It’s no big deal to have clients text, call or email you at your personal number or email address but when your roster of clients starts to grow it can quickly become a problem. NEVER text, call, or email from your private lines and then all of your communications with clients will stay inside the proper channels.

 

 

Adding a Branded Signature

Adding a company-branded signature to your business emails adds a needed level of professionalism and authenticity to your client communications.  Once you’ve created a branded signature inside your Gmail email settings this signature will be added to the bottom of every email you send moving forward. 

Above is a demonstration of what a branded signature looks like for our Client Manager Dana Miller.

If you enter the Google Drive, click on the “Shared with me” tab on the left-hand side and then enter the “Client Manager File”. There is a sub-file titled “Branded Signature Photos”. Here you will find a photo that was created for you with your image using our brand template. If one does not exist for you yet simply ask management to create one at their earliest convenience. 

 

In the meantime, you can use our business logo on your branded signature page.

Gmail Signature Setup

Digital Business Card

Our digital business cards are very similar to the branded photo that you’ve attached to your email settings but there are some differences.

Our digital business card is exactly that, it is a business card. You can save it to your computer and your phone as a photo and it can be sent to clients by text message or email so that they can save it in their phone for future reference or even send it to family and friends when they want to refer our company. Client Managers love having digital business cards in addition to paper print business cards. Once you have completed your Client Manager training a business card will be created for you and mailed directly to your home

 

Your Digital business card can be found in Google Drive, “Shared with me” tab, Client Manager File, subfolder “Digital Business Cards”. 

 

Once again, if a digital business card has not been created for you please reach out to management. One will be created for you at their earliest convenience.  

Google Voice Phone #

Google Voice is another powerful tool found inside the Google Office suite. Google Voice can be downloaded as an app onto your phone, linked to your Google account and it will give you a new phone number in which you can give your clients. This will keep all of your phone calls and text messages for business in one neat and tidy application.

It may seem like an unnecessary step but once you have 10, 20, or even 50 clients it’s important that their text messages to you and phone calls are not mixed in with your own private messages. 

Watch the short training video on how to set up your Google Voice account. Following watching this video please download and create your own Google voice phone number. Make sure to write down your new Google Voice phone number so this can be shared with management, added to your business cards, your email signature, and more. 

Bookmarking Software

Bookmarking software on your computer will save you time and energy in the long run. You will want to bookmark your Google Drive, your Gmail account, your Connecteam program, and your most used databases all in separate easy-to-access tabs. Watch the short training video on how to set up bookmarks on your computer or laptop.

Phone Work Folder

It is also important to keep all of your most used applications saved in one “work” or “business” folder on your phone’s desktop. This folder will be easily found and neatly organized to keep you on task.

Dual Screen

You will probably not need to utilize dual screen or split screen mode initially in your client manager role but as your client roster grows and you spend more time working on your client’s schedules utilizing split screen is extremely beneficial!


All computers, no matter the brand or type, have split-screen capabilities. On one half of your screen, you could be looking at the Connecteam schedule with all available housekeepers while on the other side of your screen, you can be looking at your client database with all your clients needed information. This way you do not need to go back and forth between programs, you can simply pull all the information you need from one side of your screen to the other. As management, we use this feature every single day and it helps us dramatically cut down on work time.

It’s one of those applications that helps you “work smarter” “not harder”.

Utilize the Clean Day Website

Our Clean Day website is extremely versatile. You are currently inside our Clean Day website as all of our training programs are housed on a Clean Day webpage.


Other things that can be found on our Clean Day website are “The Weekly” management newsletters, our monthly company newsletter for clients, cleaning checklists for our housekeepers and clients to refer to, a webpage where potential team members can submit their applications for employment, feedback form pages, websites where clients can leave reviews and more!


Here are just some of the few Clean Day web pages that you and your clients can visit. You can simply text webpages to clients at any point if they need specific information that relates to these pages.

Connecteam

This powerful program helps us operate Clean Day  Housekeeping services on a daily basis! Within Connecteam we house employee data, create cleaning schedules, clock in and out of work shifts, record client data, and more. So let’s get started on some basic introductions of features of the software.

Intro to Connecteam

Updates on the above video: We now have 4 to 8 schedules. An HR schedule, a CM Schedule/ Meet and Greet Schedule, A Erie/ Ohio Schedule, and the main Cleaning Schedule. Your Managers will tell you which schedules you will be using primarily.  

DO NOT SEARCH BY GROUP – We now search by “Role” found at the bottom of the filters near location. 

 

But much more on this program and its many features later on in your training.

The Clean Day Way
Housekeeping Training Program

This is Lydia, a housekeeper for Clean Day. She has been cleaning homes in the Pittsburgh, Cranberry Township, Butler, and Erie Pa areas for the past 2 years. Lydia has 10 years of cleaning experience and is loved by all of her clients.

An important part of your role as a Clients Manager is to know how our housekeepers are trained to clean, what products they use, and how long it might take to clean certain homes.

In order to do this, you too have to experience the Clean Day Way Training Program, just as our housekeepers do. This is a 4 day online and on-site training program for our housekeepers but you are only required to take the online portion.

The Clean Day Way 4-Day Training Program is designed for our Housekeepers, not our Client Managers. You are NOT attending any on-site training nor are you required to take any online quizzes. Please just watch all the videos and read all the written material. 

The Online Portion Can Take 2 to 3 Hours In Total
