For independent cleaners
Get More Sofa Cleaning Jobs Without Chasing Every Lead
SofaCleaner connects self-employed and independent cleaners with customers looking for sofa and upholstery cleaning in the areas they serve. You decide whether a request suits your business, set your own quote and keep control of your diary.
Instead of spending more time chasing leads, you can focus on the work you are set up to do.
No monthly subscription or setup fee. A 15% booking fee applies to completed jobs.
Built for Independent Sofa and Upholstery Cleaners
SofaCleaner is for professionals who already provide upholstery cleaning and want another route to local customer work.
It may be a good fit if you:
- already provide professional sofa or upholstery cleaning
- have your own equipment and transport
- want additional customer enquiries in areas you can cover
- prefer to set your own prices
- want the freedom to decide which requests fit your diary and services
- can communicate clearly with customers before and after a clean
This is an opportunity for self-employed cleaners and independent cleaning businesses, not an employed cleaning role.

Platform support
What SofaCleaner Helps With
Finding customers, gathering job details and managing enquiries can take time away from paid work. SofaCleaner helps bring the important information together before a booking is confirmed.
Local customer enquiries
Customer requests can be matched around the postcode, furniture and service required, helping reduce clearly unsuitable or out-of-area enquiries.
Better information before you quote
Customers can share the furniture involved, condition, stains, timing and photos so you have more context before deciding what to quote.
Booking coordination
The platform helps keep the customer request, cleaner matching, booking and payment journey together rather than leaving you to manage every step from scratch.

Cleaner matching
How Cleaner Matching Works
Apply with your business details
Tell us about your experience, the services you provide, the areas you cover and the equipment you use. You will also be asked for the documents needed for verification.
Complete verification
SofaCleaner reviews the information and credentials required to join the network. If something needs clarification, it should be resolved before your cleaner profile is activated.
Review suitable customer requests
When a relevant request is available in an area you cover, you can review the job information before deciding whether it fits your services and availability.
Set your quote
You remain responsible for your own pricing. Review the furniture, condition, access, travel and treatment required before giving the customer your quote.
Complete the confirmed job
If the customer accepts the quote and the appointment is confirmed, carry out the work to the agreed standard. SofaCleaner handles the customer payment and pays your balance through the platform.
