Answered in seconds

Hi, I need a move-out cleaning for my apartment next Friday.

Happy to help. How many bedrooms and bathrooms, and will the apartment be empty?

Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and yes it'll be empty.

Would you like inside the oven, fridge and cabinets included? Most move-outs include them.

What can an AI receptionist do for a cleaning business?

  • Instant quotes

    Calculates prices from your rules — bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, cleaning type, pets and add-ons like inside the oven or fridge.

  • Recurring bookings

    Sets up weekly, biweekly or monthly cleanings and explains recurring discounts.

  • Move-in / move-out cleans

    Qualifies empty-home cleans, dates and property access, and books them.

  • Reschedules and cancellations

    Moves appointments within your rules and explains your cancellation policy.

  • Entry instructions

    Collects lockbox codes, alarm notes, parking and pet information and saves them to the booking.

  • Commercial cleaning leads

    Captures office size, frequency and walkthrough requests for commercial bids.

  • Review requests

    On Growth, automations send a review request after each cleaning.

Why cleaning companies lose bookings

Many cleaning customers want a price and a date in the same conversation. If they have to wait for a callback, they may book the company that answered first. Owners are often cleaning themselves, managing teams and handling reschedules all day — so quote requests pile up in voicemail and web forms.

How does Frontivo.io quote and book a move-out clean?

How do you set up an AI receptionist for a cleaning company?

  1. 1

    Tell Frontivo.io about your cleaning company: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.

  2. 2

    Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.

  3. 3

    Forward your business line (or get a new Frontivo.io number: in seconds in the US and Canada, after a documents check in most other countries) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.

What to add to your knowledge base

  • Standard cleaning
  • Deep cleaning
  • Move-in / move-out cleaning
  • Recurring cleaning (weekly, biweekly, monthly)
  • Add-ons (oven, fridge, cabinets, windows, laundry)
  • Post-construction cleaning
  • Office and commercial cleaning
  • Cancellation and rescheduling policy

Works with the tools you already use

  • Your business phone number. Forward your existing line, or get a new number.
  • Google & Outlook Calendar. Checks live availability before it books, so slots aren't double-booked.
  • Website chat, text, Instagram, Messenger & email. One AI receptionist answers on every channel with the same knowledge (Instagram, Messenger and email are on Growth, or each on its own single-channel plan). WhatsApp is coming soon.
  • Zapier, webhooks and API. Send every new lead and booking to the other software your cleaning company runs on through Zapier, Make, signed webhooks or the API (on Growth). Google Sheets and Slack or Teams alerts work on every plan.

For cleaning companies the key difference is instant quoting: Frontivo.io can give an exact price and book in one conversation, so customers don't wait for a callback.
