What is ZenMaid SOS Alert?
The ZenMaid SOS Alert is your team’s direct line to support, built right into their ZenMaid mobile app. With one silent tap, cleaners can instantly notify your office staff of any situation requiring immediate attention. No phone calls needed, no awkward situations — just quick, discreet communication when it matters most.
Why did we create this feature? As Stephanie from Serene Clean puts it, “Safety is the elephant in the room in the cleaning industry.” When your staff works alone in clients’ homes, they need a reliable way to reach out for support without escalating situations.
We built this feature because:
- Cleaning professionals often work alone in clients’ homes
- Traditional communication methods aren’t always realistic in sensitive situations
- Searching for a manager’s contact info in a questionable situation isn’t safe
- Every second counts when staff needs support
How it Works
- One-Tap Activation: Cleaners access the SOS Alert button through their appointment details (look for the blue shield icon)
- Silent Alert: A simple slide triggers the alert without drawing attention
- Instant Location Sharing: Your office immediately receives the cleaner’s current location
- Complete Context: The alert includes appointment details, client information, and cleaner contact details
- Multi-Platform Notifications: Alerts appear on both desktop and manager mobile devices for maximum visibility
Setting Up SOS Alerts in ZenMaid
Getting started is simple:
- Once you update your app, the feature is automatically available in your ZenMaid mobile app
- Ensure your office staff has notifications enabled
- Show your team how to access the button through appointment details
- Establish clear procedures for how your office should respond to alerts
How to Use ZenMaid SOS Alerts in Your Cleaning Business
We recommend hosting a dedicated training with your staff to teach safety protocols and how to use this feature. Read our full guide about safety training.
