In the last year, artificial intelligence (AI) has started making waves across nearly every industry — from marketing to medicine. But one sector often left behind in these conversations is the cleaning business.
At The CoBuilders, we’ve seen firsthand how hardworking cleaners and janitors face challenges that AI is uniquely positioned to solve — if it’s applied the right way. That’s why we built SCRUB, an AI assistant created specifically for the cleaning industry.
In this article, we’ll explore how AI is changing the cleaning business, what it can do today, and how tools like SCRUB are helping cleaners work smarter — not harder.
Why AI Matters for the Cleaning Industry
The cleaning business is worth over $150 billion in the U.S. alone, but many independent cleaners and small teams still run their operations manually — quoting jobs, creating social media posts, messaging clients, and trying to stay organized across apps.
That’s where AI tools for cleaning businesses can make a real difference.
By using AI, cleaners can:
- Save time on everyday tasks
- Attract more customers online
- Respond faster to inquiries
- Price jobs with more confidence
- Retain clients with better follow-up
Meet SCRUB: An AI Assistant Built for Cleaners
Most AI tools are generic — built for tech professionals, not tradespeople. But SCRUB (Simplified Cleaners’ Resourceful Utility Bot) is different.
Built by The CoBuilders, SCRUB helps cleaners:
- Create social media posts in seconds
- Send client messages (like thank-yous or reminders)
- Get smart pricing suggestions based on location
- Design custom marketing images
- Follow up with clients to keep them coming back
And it’s all designed with one goal in mind: grow your cleaning business without the stress.
How SCRUB Works Behind the Scenes
What makes SCRUB unique is that it uses something called a Model Context Protocol (MCP) — meaning it remembers who you are, what services you offer, and what tasks you’ve already done.
This allows SCRUB to suggest the next best thing to do, like:
- “Want to send a promo to past clients?”
- “Need a post for your weekend special?”
- “Would you like to quote another service today?”
It’s like having a smart assistant who knows your business — not a generic chatbot.
The Future of AI for Cleaning Businesses
Right now, SCRUB is helping cleaners save time and win more jobs. But soon, tools like SCRUB will be able to:
- Find new customers
- Book cleanings directly
- Manage client conversations
- Offer tailored discounts
- Interact with calendars, booking tools, and more
AI won’t replace cleaners. But it will help them run better, more profitable businesses — and that’s what The CoBuilders is focused on.
