UK Cleaning Software Comparison

Outgrowing Cleenie? Scale from Solo Cleaner to Multi-Cleaner Team.

Cleenie is fine for solo domestic cleaners, but breaks down when you hire staff. SparkleManager gives you multi-cleaner crew dispatch, cleaner privacy shielding, wage settlements, and commercial VAT invoicing.

Why UK Cleaning Companies Choose SparkleManager

Built to Grow With Your Ambition

Many cleaners hit a painful ceiling with basic solo mobile apps once they recruit their first or second employee. SparkleManager lets you start solo and activate team dispatch seamlessly when you expand.

Protect Your Rates & Client Relationships

Cleaners only need to know what tasks to perform and how to access the property. SparkleManager prevents staff from seeing what you invoice the customer, protecting your profit margins.

Handle Both Residential & Commercial Contracts

Whether you clean domestic houses or manage multi-room dental clinics, SparkleManager supports multi-site accounts, purchase orders, and statutory B2B VAT invoicing.
