Customers forget how dirty a kitchen or bathroom was.
For cleaners
Prove the clean. Before and after photos for cleaning pros
A spotless room looks like nothing happened. Photo Luego records how each space looked when you arrived and when you left, with the time on every photo, so your work is clear and a "that was already clean" argument never starts.
Works in your phone's browser. Free plan, no card needed.
Where the money leaks
Move-out and deep-clean jobs invite disputes over what was there before.
Reviews and referrals come easier when people can see the result.
How Photo Luego helps
Matching before and after shots, lined up with a ghost overlay of the first photo.
Date and time stamps on every photo, straight from your phone.
A tidy report per job with a note under each room.
Photos stay on your phone on the free plan.
Photograph the oven, the shower and the carpet before you touch them. When you finish, match each shot and send the report before you drive away.
What to photograph on a house cleaning job
- Kitchen: stovetop, oven interior, range hood, sink, backsplash, fridge interior and the floor.
- Bathrooms: shower and glass, tub, toilet base, vanity, mirror and the grout lines.
- Floors: carpet stains and high-traffic paths, hard floors and corners.
- Baseboards, door frames and light switches in the rooms you were asked to detail.
- Windows, sills and tracks, if they are in the scope of the job.
- Inside cabinets, drawers and closets on move-out cleans.
- Anything already damaged when you arrive: scratches, chips, stains, loose fixtures. Photograph these first.
Tips for before and after photos that match
- 1
Take your before photos as soon as you arrive, before you move or touch anything.
- 2
Turn the lights on and open the blinds. Use the flash only when a space is dark, because it can flatten texture.
- 3
Frame surfaces, not belongings. Keep mail, screens, documents, family photos and people out of the shot.
- 4
Take one wide shot of each room and a close shot of any problem spot.
- 5
Shoot the after from the same spot and angle as the before, in the same orientation.
- 6
Wipe the lens. A smudged phone camera makes clean surfaces look dull.
- 7
Photograph pre-existing damage clearly so there is never a question about what was there when you started.
Short captions that help the report sell
One line under a transformation says what you did. A few to adapt:
Oven interior, baked-on residue, cleaned in 45 minutes.
Shower glass with hard-water buildup, descaled and polished.
Move-out clean: kitchen cabinets wiped inside and out.
Pre-existing scratch on the bedroom door, noted on arrival.
Tell customers up front: "I take a few photos of the condition when I arrive and again when I finish, so we both have a record of the work. I keep them to surfaces and rooms, not personal belongings." Most customers appreciate it, and it protects you both. Check local rules and ask permission before photographing inside someone's home.
General advice, not legal advice. Rules about photographing people and property vary by place, so check yours.
Questions
Is it okay to photograph inside customers' homes?
Tell the customer you document your work and get their okay first. Keep photos to surfaces and rooms, and avoid people, documents and personal items. On the free plan photos stay on your phone, and reports are only shared with the people you send them to.
What should I photograph on a move-out clean?
Every room wide, plus the oven, fridge interior, bathrooms, floors and inside cabinets and closets. Photograph existing damage on arrival so it is clearly not yours.
Can I add the date and time?
Yes. A switch in the report details adds the time each photo was taken, which comes from your phone.
Can I add my business name?
Yes. Your name, contact details and a personal note appear on every report.
