The affordable answering service for cleaning companies
As a busy cleaning business owner, you’re managing schedules, on-site work, and the endless parade of client emails. The one thing you can’t afford to drop? Phone calls.
Yet answering every ring, especially after hours or while you’re scrubbing floors, is simply impossible. There’s only so much one person can do.
But hiring a full-time receptionist or even a traditional answering service is a high asking price for a small business.
That’s exactly why we started Upfirst, so anyone who owns a small business can actually afford a professional way to answer their phones. We give you back your time, greet every caller no matter the hour, provide info about your business, and help keep your calendar full.
Keep your cleaning business pushing forward while our answering service for cleaning companies helps you never miss a call.
From commercial to residential to janitorial, see how our cleaning answering service can make a difference in your business.
Being on a job shouldn’t mean losing a lead. Our receptionist picks up every ring, day or night. You’ll get detailed call transcriptions right away so you know who called and why.
Every unanswered call is a potential booking lost. We greet each caller with a friendly, professional voice that represents your business. Being available to answer every call means giving yourself more opportunity to capture more customers.
Let us handle routine call tasks so you can concentrate on your cleaning jobs. Our cleaning answering service books appointments, takes messages, and gathers all the details you need. That means less time on the phone and more time on the job.

quick, easy setup
Ditch the complicated setup. In a few minutes, you could have a dedicated virtual receptionist set up for your business.
To get started, begin by creating your account—it’s free to try. Answer some questions about your business, customize your greeting, and choose from a wide selection of voices for your AI. You can choose to keep using your existing business number, or grab a new local or 800 number later on.
Now, fill out the AI’s knowledge base with more details about your business. Enter your services, pricing, FAQs, and any special instructions, like how you’d like your calls handled for new and existing customers. Make some test calls to ensure the calls flow exactly how you want. Make adjustments until you are satisfied.
When you’re ready, it’s time to launch! You can choose to forward calls from your existing business line, or use your new number for your business. We can take all your calls, or just the ones that you miss. Then, sit back and watch your calendar fill up.
Use cases for cleaning businesses
See how cleaning companies and other industries use our answering service to help grow their business.
Let a virtual receptionist share booking links live over the phone, so callers can schedule cleanings with you even when you can’t answer. You’ll spend less time coordinating and see appointments fill up faster.
Important call details often get lost when you’re hands-on at a job. We record every caller’s name, service request, and notes, then send you a clear summary. That way, your follow-up is precise, quick, and never misses a detail.
Every missed call is a potential customer turning their attention to a competitor. We pick up every ring with a friendly, professional voice and log each interaction for you. With a complete record of who called and why, you can convert more leads into booked jobs.

How does my cleaning business benefit from your answering service?
With our service, you get a professional receptionist without the expense and hassle of hiring full-time staff. That means every customer call is answered promptly—whether it comes in the middle of a busy workday or late at night—so you never miss a potential booking. We gather caller details, answer frequently asked questions, and even book appointments directly into your calendar, freeing you from manual follow-up. Plus, by presenting a friendly, consistent voice for your brand, you boost customer confidence and set yourself apart from competitors still relying on voicemail. All of this adds up to more leads captured, more jobs scheduled, and more time for you to focus on running your cleaning business.
Why is this better than a voicemail?
Voicemail is a black hole for leads. With live answering, callers get immediate engagement, book appointments on the spot, and feel valued. Plus, you see every message after each call.
How much will I save compared to hiring an in-house receptionist?
Typical receptionist salaries and benefits can run $30,000 – $40,000 per year. Even traditional answering services are known to cost a few hundred dollars minimum just to pick up about 30 calls a month. Our flexible monthly plans start at $24.95 per month, and easily scales with your business as you grow. This means you save on a ton of money while still maintaining a professional virtual receptionist that never tires, works 24/7, and will never be rude to a customer.
What types of cleaning businesses do you support?
From residential and commercial to specialty services (carpet cleaning, window washing, post-construction, etc), our flexible call flows adapt to any niche.
Don’t worry about missing calls again. Capture every call, book more jobs, and keep your team focused on what they do best. Try it today for free!
