What are ISSA production rates?

The International Sanitary Supply Association publishes industry-standard metrics for how long cleaning tasks take. We use these to calculate accurate labor hours—so your bids reflect reality, not guesses.

Do I need to know my costs before using this?

Nope. We guide you through everything. If you know your hourly wage and rough supply costs, you're good. We calculate payroll taxes, overhead, and profit margins automatically.

Can I customize the PDF proposals?

Yes! Pro members can add their logo, business name, contact info, and custom terms. The proposal is yours.

Is my client data private?

Absolutely. Your client information, bids, and pricing data are stored securely and never shared. We use industry-standard encryption and are committed to protecting your business information.

You Overbid

Tried to be safe and guessed high. Your competitor undercut you by $500. You lost a contract that should've been yours.

You Look Unprofessional

Why I Built This

A note from the founder

I'm a software developer, not a cleaner. But I saw the struggle firsthand. A close friend of mine runs a commercial cleaning business, and I watched him lose weekends to "bid anxiety"—staring at spreadsheets, guessing labor hours, and worrying if he was pricing himself out of a profit.

He knew the industry, but the math was slowing him down. I realized thousands of other owners faced the same problem. I analyzed the market and built GetBidClean to solve that exact pain point using ISSA industry standards.

It helped him stop guessing, and now it can help you too.
