The 30-second pitch
You can’t tell which cleaner is bad until two months in. By then you have a one-star review and a stained mattress.
This template flips the loop: every turnover has a checklist the cleaner uses, and a scorecard you fill in after. 0–3 per category. Two turnovers and you can see whether the cleaner with the lower rate is actually the cheaper cleaner.
Who it’s for
- Single-property hosts cycling through cleaners trying to find a keeper
- Operators with 3+ properties running multiple cleaners across them
- Anyone tired of “the cleaner’s been doing this for ten years” being treated as evidence
Math that earns the price
One avoided one-star review from a missed-cleaning issue protects ~$400 in next-30-day revenue (rank drop + replacement-booking effort). Workbook costs $12. Returns its cost the first time the scorecard catches a slipping cleaner.

What's inside
- Cleaner checklist — printable. Room-by-room, includes the items cleaners skip when nobody checks (under-bed, fridge top, vent covers).
- Scorecard tab — what you fill in after, per turnover. 0–3 per category. Roll-up score by cleaner over time.
- Supply restock checklist — paper goods, soap, coffee, batteries. Threshold-triggered (red when below par).
- Damage check — 12 high-risk items, photo evidence cells. Feeds into OPS-002 Damage Claim Log.
- Cleaner directory — name, rate, last 5 scorecard average, contact, notes. The cleaner with a 1.8 average pays more than they save.
- Settings — properties + cleaners drop-down sources, scorecard category list, cadence pulse (per-week / per-turnover).
FAQ
- Excel or Google Sheets?
- Both. Edit in Excel; works in Google Sheets with full formatting.
- Can my cleaner fill it in on their phone?
- Yes — print the checklist for the cleaner to mark up; you score from the photo. Or share the Google Sheet view directly.
- Does it work for multiple properties?
- Yes. Properties + cleaners are dropdown-sourced; scores roll up by cleaner across the portfolio.
- How is this different from a free template?
- The scorecard logic and the cleaner-directory rollup. Free templates give you the checklist; this gives you the data to fire a cleaner with evidence.
- What's your refund policy?
- 14 days, no questions. Email hello@thestrledger.com.
