If you're a professional cleaner, you know how hard it is to find quality house cleaning leads without wasting time—or money. Many have turned to platforms like Angie’s List and Thumbtack, only to be disappointed by low conversion rates and shared leads that rarely result in bookings.


At The CoBuilders, we believe there’s a better way. With tools like SCRUBgpt, cleaners can now identify local apartments that may need move-out or recurring services, uncover government contract opportunities, and even receive smart follow-up actions—all at no cost.


Here’s how to generate house cleaning leads that actually work in your favor.


1. Skip Expensive Lead Marketplaces


Cleaners consistently report frustration with lead marketplaces:


“I paid $20–$30 per lead on Thumbtack and never heard back.”
“Angie’s leads were shared with 5+ other cleaners.”


Rather than buying unqualified or over-shared leads, cleaners using SCRUBgpt can enter a ZIP code and instantly get:


  • A list of local apartment complexes
  • Estimated unit counts and turnover rates
  • Contact details (when available)
  • Auto-generated email pitches and SMS follow-ups


All built into a free tool—no per-lead fees, no competition with other contractors.


2. Find Government Cleaning Contracts — Automatically


SCRUBgpt also helps users uncover public sector cleaning opportunities, including:


  • Municipal janitorial RFPs
  • School and facility maintenance bids
  • County-level service contracts


Instead of searching outdated directories or navigating complex procurement sites, SCRUB makes it easy—guiding cleaners through the outreach with smart prompts and action-ready templates.


3. Combine Paid and Organic Methods for Lead Generation


Still want to experiment with paid ads or SEO? Great. Just be strategic:


  • Target hyper-local search terms (“cleaning service in [ZIP]”)
  • Optimize your Google Business profile
  • Use SCRUB’s AI-generated social media posts to build visibility

4. Prioritize Smart Follow-Up


Converting leads is about timing:


  • 78% of customers go with the first cleaner to respond
  • SCRUB reminds you to follow up via email or text
  • It also logs when you last reached out, so you never double-send

Final Takeaway: Leads That Work, Tools That Help


You don’t need to burn cash chasing every lead site. Cleaners across the U.S. are growing their client lists using smart, context-aware tools—like SCRUBgpt from The CoBuilders.


Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, leads should feel like opportunities, not obstacles.
