Cleaning and hygiene are critical components of any facility management strategy. However, manual cleanliness assessment of a space or object is difficult. These common challenges often lead to client disputes, inconsistent hygiene management, and a lack of objective proof regarding the quality of cleaning activities.
In this blog, we’ll discuss how Cleensight, Tiliter’s Vision AI-powered app, helps overcome the limitations of manual inspection by delivering a cleanliness score and photo-verified proof.
The standard approach to cleanliness inspection relies on the human eye and a clipboard. However, it is easy to miss a spot or mark when manually inspecting an area, surface, or piece of equipment. Furthermore, opinions regarding cleanliness are often subjective. Several other issues can also leave the results of a manual cleanliness check open to debate, including the following:
Opinions are always subjective, and the same applies to measuring cleanliness. What one supervisor considers clean, a client might see as unacceptable. This is why cleanliness assessment needs to be data-driven. Without any supporting evidence, every cleaning check is ultimately an opinion.
Facility inspectors and supervisors often depend on a clipboard and a checklist to record cleanliness performance. However, without a permanent visual record, this type of data is difficult to verify. When a client disputes the quality of a job, management may struggle to provide any concrete evidence to defend their team’s work.
Physically walking floors to inspect cleanliness is time-intensive. As a result, supervisors and managers may spend a significant portion of their day on manual inspection routines rather than focusing on improving operations or growing the business.
Paper-based logs can be signed off on without a thorough inspection. This lack of accountability means hygiene issues may go unnoticed until a complaint is made. In addition, without a standard or measurable cleanliness score, maintaining consistent cleaning quality across different sites or shifts becomes difficult.
Vision AI is a field of artificial intelligence that delivers insights from visual data such as images and video. Put simply, it enables systems to interpret and understand what a camera captures.
This technology can perform different tasks fast and with great accuracy. It can collect details that the human eye often misses. It is widely used across many industries, including healthcare, logistics, industrial operations, and security management.
Tiliter uses Vision AI to power its Cleensight tool, which specifically analyses photos to verify cleanliness. Cleensight is designed to assess visual evidence and generate an objective cleanliness score, rather than relying on manual judgment.
Unlike traditional inspection methods that rely on a quick look-over, Vision AI-based cleanliness checks analyse images to identify visible dirt, debris, spills, or streaks.
By using AI-assisted cleanliness inspection, facility managers can move away from reactive processes. Instead of waiting for a complaint to reveal a missed spot, Cleensight enables teams to verify cleanliness as tasks are completed, supported by visual evidence.
Manual cleanliness assessments often leave room for error and disagreement. As a result, many organisations are rethinking how they verify cleaning quality.
Cleensight is an app that delivers photo-verified proof of cleanliness using Vision AI.
Here is how it works:
Switching from manual inspections to an AI-assisted approach does more than modernise your workflow. It changes how cleanliness quality is measured and communicated.
One person’s definition of clean may differ from another’s. Cleensight generates a standardised cleanliness score from 1 to 5, supported by the photos captured during the inspection, helping remove ambiguity and demonstrating that cleaning tasks were completed as required.
In a competitive industry, showing "proof of quality" is a massive advantage. Using Cleensight allows service providers to demonstrate consistent standards, helping build trust and strengthen long-term client relationships.
Because cleanliness checks are documented with photos and scores, teams can identify recurring problem areas. This makes it easier to improve cleaning standards through targeted training and process improvements.
You do not need to invest in new equipment to use Cleensight. The app works with the smartphones your team already uses, making it simple to deploy across multiple locations.
By digitising cleanliness verification, supervisors can reduce the time spent on manual walkthroughs and review inspection results remotely, allowing them to focus on higher-value operational tasks.
Every facility has its own set of challenges, but the goal remains the same. Maintaining a safe and welcoming environment. Cleensight is built to support cleanliness verification across a range of sectors.
In offices and warehouses, proving that cleaning tasks were completed can be difficult. Cleensight enables teams to provide photo-verified evidence that demonstrates surfaces are free of visible dirt, dust, and grime, helping reduce disputes and support contract retention.
First impressions matter in retail. Cleensight helps maintain consistent cleanliness standards across multiple stores. From verifying spill cleanups to ensuring shelves are clear of debris, the app supports safer, more professional environments.
Guest satisfaction depends on the finer details. With Cleensight, staff can perform cleanliness checks on guest rooms and bathrooms, helping catch small issues like smudges on mirrors or spots on linens before the guest ever walks through the door.
Relying solely on subjective opinions and paper checklists is no longer enough. With Cleensight, organisations can move toward objective, photo-verified cleanliness checks that support consistency and accountability.
Providing visual proof of cleaning quality helps build trust, reduce disputes, and professionalise cleaning operations.
