What “photo verification” should accomplish

The best tools (and when to use each)

Tool Best for Downside
Dedicated photo reports Recommended Repeatable process, shareable report links, time-stamped photos tied to tasks. Requires a system that stores photos per task (not in personal phones).
Group text / WhatsApp Small teams just starting. Photos get buried, hard to search, no standard checklist, not client-ready.
Shared Google Drive / Dropbox Basic archiving. No task context; inconsistent naming; easy to miss required shots.
Timestamp camera apps Extra “when/where” proof. Still disconnected from task + checklist; harder to share cleanly.

Cleaner Sync includes shareable photo reports with timestamps so each cleaning task has a clean, client-ready record.

A simple photo set that works for most properties

To keep things efficient, standardize the shots. Example set:

You can adjust per property (e.g., hot tub, patio, grill), but keep the default set consistent.

FAQs

How many photos should I require per cleaning?
For standard turnovers, many teams use 10–20 photos. Deep cleans might be 20–40 depending on property size and scope.
Should clients see the photo report?
Often yes—shareable photo reports build trust and reduce “was this done?” messages. Some teams share only when requested or for higher-value properties.
What’s the #1 mistake teams make with photos?
Letting photos live in text threads or personal camera rolls. You want photos tied to the task, searchable, and easy to share.
