Common questions
What should I check before using Cleanster, EZcare and Operto Teams for cleaning between stays?
Test what happens when a guest changes, cancels or books a stay at short notice. Check that the right person sees the job. Agree who checks for missing work and adds a job when needed. Linking a calendar does not settle who will do that.
How should I check completed work with Cleanster, EZcare and Operto Teams?
Choose the photos and tasks that matter for each home. Decide who checks them and who handles a problem. A task marked done in an app is not proof that a separate inspector checked the home.
Where should I check the full cost of a Cleanster booking?
Marketplace bookings add a $3 fee to the cleaner’s price. Paying your own cleaner through the app costs 5% plus $3 per booking. Check the full price before you confirm. The site does not say which dollar currency applies.
Can EZcare cleaners report a problem while working?
Yes. Staff can send notes and photos of a property issue through the mobile app. Decide who will read each report and arrange a repair. Reporting the issue is not the same as assigning or finishing the work.
Can Operto Teams use different checklists for different homes?
Yes. Each home’s task form can include its own needs, such as hot-tub care. Attach that form to a task rule to add it to checkout work. Check the form before using the rule for several homes.
