5Built for Carpet Reality
Generic field-service tools don't understand drying time or per-room quoting. OneBookPlus is built for the carpet workflow — transparent quotes, machine-aware scheduling, fabric care notes.
Quote by bedroom count, lounge-suite seats (2-seater, 3-seater, recliner), stairs, hallways, and lounge runs. Customer sees a transparent breakdown — no “how many rooms exactly?” arguments on the day.
Hot-water extraction needs 4–8 hours to dry. Schedule the next job in the same suburb with the drying window baked in — no double-booking the same machine, no calling the next customer to push back arrival.
Pet urine, red wine, vomit, blood, ink, tar, oil. Each stain treatment has its own per-spot price. Add to a quote in one tap, customer signs off on extras before you arrive, no surprises.
Silk Persian rug, wool berber, synthetic plush, jute. Each rug type has its own cleaning method, max-water temp, and warning notes. Quote attaches the right method spec so the operator doesn't shrink an heirloom Persian.
Photo every soiled spot before extraction and the result after. Customers see the difference, agents accept end-of-lease carpet credits, and you defend against the rare “it's not clean enough” pushback.
Quarterly carpet steam contracts for offices, retail, and hospitality. Recurring schedules with after-hours allowance, periodic deep-clean add-ons, monthly or per-visit billing — exactly like the commercial cleaning side.

Carpet Workflow
Four steps that match how carpet cleaning actually runs — every step backed by structured data.
Build the quote: number of rooms, lounge-suite seats, stairs, stain treatments. Customer accepts on their phone before you load the machine.
Calendar shows your next job will be ready when the previous job's carpet is dry. No double-booking the extraction machine. No calling the next customer to push back arrival by an hour.
Snap a before photo of every soiled spot. Apply the right pre-treatment per fabric type. Extract, treat, and snap the after photo. Customer sees the result before you leave.
Invoice on the spot with stain add-ons rolled in. Pay Now link. For commercial quarterly contracts, recurring monthly invoices auto-generate.

Common questions from carpet cleaning operators in Australia.
Yes. Build quotes by bedroom count, lounge-suite seats (2-seater, 3-seater, recliner, ottoman), stairs, hallways, and lounge runs. Each line is itemised so the customer sees exactly what they're paying for.
When you slot a job, the calendar reserves the post-clean drying window (default 6 hours, adjustable per machine type). Subsequent jobs in the same suburb get scheduled around it — preventing extraction-machine double-booking and the awkward pushback calls.
Every stain treatment is a quotable line item with its own per-spot price — pet urine, red wine, vomit, blood, ink, tar, oil. Customer accepts the extras before you arrive, so there are no surprise charges on completion.
Yes. Each rug or carpet type carries its own cleaning method, max-water temp, and warning notes — silk Persian, wool berber, synthetic plush, jute, sisal. The quote attaches the right method spec so a junior operator doesn't shrink an heirloom rug.
Yes — recurring contracts with after-hours allowance, periodic deep-clean items, monthly or per-visit billing. Useful for office, retail, and hospitality clients on a quarterly steam schedule.
Standard AU 10% GST on every invoice once you're registered (turnover ≥ $75,000/year). OneBookPlus calculates it automatically and prints your ABN on every tax invoice. BAS-ready exports at quarter-end.

Who it's for
Solo extraction operators, multi-truck residential teams, commercial quarterly-steam contractors.
2–4 jobs a day, mostly bedrooms + lounge suites. Needs per-room quoting, stain add-ons, drying-aware scheduling.
Quarterly steam for office, retail, hospitality. Needs recurring contracts, after-hours allowance, periodic add-ons.
Specialty in Persian rugs, leather upholstery, antique fabric. Needs fabric-specific method notes, in-shop dropoff workflow.
Carpet steam as the end-of-lease add-on. Needs same-day invoicing, photo evidence, repeat-agent reporting.
Stop overpaying
Most small businesses stitch together 4-6 tools that don't talk to each other. Here's what that typically costs.
Real-world scenario
How a Sydney carpet operator runs 4 residential jobs and a quarterly office contract in one Wednesday
7:30am. Marco loads the extraction unit. Today's first job is a 3-bedroom + lounge-suite + 1 stain treatment (red wine on a wool berber). Quote was $385 accepted last week.
9am: at the property, Marco snaps a before photo of the wine stain, applies the wool-safe pre-treatment per the fabric notes attached to the quote, runs extraction. After photo shows the stain lifted. Customer signs off, invoice goes out same-day with a Pay Now link.
11am: the calendar slots him into a 2-bedroom job in the same suburb — the previous property's drying window doesn't conflict because his next stop's start time was built around the prior job's drying time.
2pm: third job — a Persian rug pickup for in-shop cleaning. Tagged as a fabric-specific job with the silk-care method attached.
4pm: Marco swings by a quarterly office carpet steam (recurring contract, after-hours rate). Job auto-appeared on today's run because the next-visit date hit. Photo evidence captured, invoice rolls into the monthly contract billing.
Friday: weekly review. Stain treatments are 22% of revenue this month — Marco notes the high margin and earmarks ‘Red wine emergency’ as a future SEO landing page.
