Hey everyone,

I posted here about a “dishwashing-only” service and got (rightfully) roasted. The feedback was fair: it was too niche, and the economics were questionable.

So, I went back to the drawing board and designed a technology and logistics model that aims to make high-frequency home cleaning genuinely affordable and accessible.

The Concept: “Reset” – A Cleaning Utility for Condo/Apartment Dwellers

The product is a subscription for a “daily reset” of your apartment, with tiers from basic upkeep to a full clean. But the real innovation isn’t the cleaning, it is the clever logistics and scheduling using python functions in the background

The Technical & Logistics Breakthrough: “Hyper-Local Density”

Traditional cleaners are expensive and haven’t been productized properly. The industry is still not mature enough. The entire model is to make it lean.

Clustered Routing Algorithm: Our platform doesn’t schedule jobs randomly. It clusters subscribers within a single apartment building and creates optimized routes for our “Resetters.” Standardized “Reset Units”: Each service tier fixed-task package and will be designed to fit into the time windows of e.g., 30-min, 50-min. This allows for predictable pricing, payroll, and seamless scheduling. The Economic Result: By maximizing efficiency within a building, the Resetters can make earnings around $25/hr while offering customers a subscription at ~50-60% of the effective hourly rate of a traditional cleaner.

The Value We’re Trying to Create:

For Customers: A perpetually clean home for as low as $143/month, not $150+ for a single, infrequent clean. For Resetters: High-earning, reliable work without unpaid travel time.

Reset: Sustainable Pricing Matrix

Balanced Pricing Matrix

Core Assumption: Platform Commission = 30%, Resetter Payout = 70%. Target Resetter Wage: $25/hour.

Service Tier & Scope 2x / Week (8x/mo) 3x / Week (12x/mo) 5x / Week (20x/mo) TIER 1: Tidy Reset(Dishes, kitchen surfaces, trash)Time: 30 mins/visitResetter Payout: $12.50 Monthly Price: $143Cust/visit: $17.86 Monthly Price: $214Cust/visit: $17.86 Monthly Price: $357Cust/visit: $17.86 TIER 2: Standard Reset(Tidy + bathrooms, vacuum)Time: 45 mins/visitResetter Payout: $18.75 Monthly Price: $214Cust/visit: $26.79 Monthly Price: $321Cust/visit: $26.79 Monthly Price: $536Cust/visit: $26.79 TIER 3: Premium Reset(Standard + mop, appliances)Time: 60 mins/visitResetter Payout: $25.00 Monthly Price: $286Cust/visit: $35.71 Monthly Price: $429Cust/visit: $35.71 Monthly Price: $714Cust/visit: $35.71

Again looking for community’s feedback:

The Core Concept: Does the “tech-driven, hyper-local efficiency” argument make this more compelling than a standard cleaning service? The Trust Hurdle: Our model requires unattended access. Beyond the standard (vetting, insurance), would a tech feature like live job tracking or a digital checklist completed in real-time increase your comfort level? The Pricing: For a full-home reset 2-5 times a week, do the price points move this from “luxury” to “accessible utility” for you? The Biggest Flaw: What’s the part of this tech/logistics model you think would be hardest to execute or might tend to fail?

All feedback is appreciated!
