Company profile
researched Aug 2026Cheongyeon, operated by Saenghwal Yeonguso and known for its Cheongso Yeonguso (Cleaning Lab) service, is a South Korean app-based platform through which households and businesses book cleaning visits. Its core offering is residential house cleaning performed by managers who have completed a five-stage home-cleaning training program and work from a standardized cleaning manual. Bookings are made through the company's mobile app, which is promoted prominently on its website.
Beyond regular home cleaning, the platform covers move-in/move-out cleaning positioned around transparent pricing and standardized procedures, and office cleaning for workspace upkeep. The company also runs "Plus Shop," a store selling household goods developed under the Cheongyeon brand. A separate business line targets companies through B2B tie-ups including promotional partnerships, bulk point purchases, and employee cleaning-benefit programs in which staff receive points usable for cleaning services.
Business model
Cheongyeon matches customers who book cleaning services through its app with trained cleaning managers, and supplements this marketplace with product sales through its own household-goods shop and B2B arrangements such as promotional partnerships, point purchases, and employee cleaning-benefit programs.
Revenue is generated from paid cleaning bookings across home, move-in and office services, sales of Cheongyeon-branded household products through its Plus Shop, and corporate point purchases and welfare programs.
Traction
The operator stated in January 2026 that the Cheongso Yeonguso service had surpassed 200,000 cleaning managers, and the app was selected as a featured Apple App Store app for International Women's Day in March 2026.
