You're good at cleaning. Getting paid for it is the hard part.
Kanela is a phone tool that makes you look like a real business — and helps you charge what you're worth.
Free to start. Track your first 3 clients at no cost.
Works in English, Español, Português, Kreyòl ayisyen, and 中文.
Five things that put money back in your pocket.
Use one part and ignore the rest. Nothing is locked. Nothing stops working because you didn't fill something in.
Know what you should charge
Tell Kanela what you want to earn in a year and what your costs are. It tells you the hourly rate you actually need — usually higher than what people charge.
Look like a real business
Your own booking page and real quotes and receipts, with your name and logo — not ours. That's why someone picks you over the person who texted back "$150 ok?"
Get the scope in writing
Every job ships with a list of what's included and what isn't. The client agrees before you arrive. When they ask for the oven, a button adds it and asks for the money. You don't have to.
See what your jobs really take
Log each job in fifteen seconds. After a few visits, Kanela shows you where you're underpaid — from your own record, not a guess. This part is free, always.
Raise your rates, keep the client
Kanela shows which clients underpay and by how much, then writes the message for you. Change any word before it sends.
Quote and send in under 90 seconds
Standing in the hallway, on three screens or fewer: pick the client, choose rooms and hours, the price calculates, you send. Add a new client without leaving the flow.
Stop charging 2021 prices.
The difference between feeling underpaid and proving it. Your own record gives you an argument you can repeat out loud to a customer — not a chart, a sentence.
Then Kanela offers the next step: update the quote.
Lock your price for life.
Start free and track your first 3 clients at no cost. Become one of the first 500 founding members and keep this price for as long as you use Kanela.
First 500 accounts only. No card needed to start.
Questions cleaners ask.
Do you take a cut of my jobs?
No. Kanela is not a marketplace. You bring your own clients and keep every dollar. Kanela is a flat monthly tool.
Does my client see the Kanela Clean name?
No. Your quotes, receipts, and booking page carry your business name and logo. The homeowner sees your business, not an app.
Do I have to change how I work?
No. Keep your paper calendar and keep taking Venmo. Use one part of Kanela and ignore the rest.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. Track your first 3 clients free. Founding members pay $19/mo, locked for life. Time tracking stays free either way.
What if I don't speak English at work?
Kanela runs in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and Chinese. You can send each client documents in their language.
Is it hard to learn?
No. Start with two things: figure out your rate, and log your jobs. A quote takes under 90 seconds from your phone.
Charge what you're worth.
Free to start. Founding price locked for life for the first 500.
