Train new cleaning staff to standard, in their language
Crews turn over fast and rarely share one language, but the work has to be right and safe every time — the wrong chemicals mixed, a skipped step, and you can lose an account or hurt someone. Tiendo turns your walkthrough into a clear routine in each cleaner's language, ready on their phone.

Why cleaning crews are hard to train and keep sharp
High turnover means you're onboarding almost constantly, often people who speak Polish, Spanish, Somali or Ukrainian. The risky parts — which chemicals never to mix, dwell times, PPE, a specific client's rules — are exactly the parts most easily lost in translation.
- New cleaners arrive constantly and you re-explain the same process every time.
- Chemical safety — never mixing products, contact times, PPE — has to be understood, not just heard, in the person's own language.
- Standards drift between crews and sites, and one missed detail can lose you the account.
- You have no time to write procedures or translate safety notes for every language your crew speaks.
How Tiendo helps
Talk through a cleaning process — a restroom, a client's floor, how the chemicals are used. Tiendo structures it with the safety warnings called out, translates it into your crew's languages, and delivers it as a QR code for the supply closet or a link for a new hire. Every "read and understood" is logged with the date and language.
How it works
- Talk it in. Walk through a room, a chemical process, or a specific client's rules out loud — just like showing a new cleaner.
- Get a clear routine. It becomes tidy steps, safety notes and checkpoints, then translates into your team's language — numbers and temperatures kept exact.
- Your team reads and confirms. Post a QR code at the station or hand a new hire one link. They read it on their phone, come back to it anytime, and tap "read and understood."

Also for window cleaning, pressure washing, carpet, restoration and laundry
Same crews, same chemicals, and in window cleaning and pressure washing the same ladders and heights. Restoration adds PPE and biohazard; laundry and dry cleaning add solvents like perc. If your business is any of these, the routines here fit — chemical handling, equipment, site rules, working alone — and the trade picker in the app has a place for you.
