A connected set of Excel tools built around the way commercial cleaning businesses actually work: walking a site, pricing the job, understanding the margin, and building a scope of work that holds up once the contract starts.
From site enquiry to quote

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an Excel expert to use these tools?
No. The tools are built for everyday use — structured fields, dropdowns and clear inputs. No advanced formulas or macros need to be written by you.
Are these tools only for large cleaning companies?
No. They're built primarily for solo operators, owner-operated businesses and small teams who are quoting or starting to quote commercial contracts.
Do I need all three tools?
No. Each tool is useful on its own, but they're designed to work together — walkthrough information feeds into pricing, and both feed into your scope of work.
Will more commercial cleaning tools be added later?
Yes. Commercial cleaning is the first focus area for Service Margin Lab, and additional tools are expected to be added to this collection over time.
