Free Information and Basics About Starting
a House Cleaning Business |
 |
| Thinking about starting
a house cleaning business? It
can be a good, profitable business.
The house cleaning (or residential
cleaning) industry has been growing
for many years in the United States,
and there are signs that the business
is also growing in many other
countries including the United
Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia,
New Zealand, Dubai, Germany, South
Africa, The Netherlands and other
countries. |
 |
| |
| These days, as
the economies of these countries
have expanded, a growing need
for house cleaning services has
arisen. Many home owners haven’t
the time to do their own domestic
cleaning, so they turn to a company
that provides professional house
cleaning to save them time. When
two people are both working full-time
jobs, and perhaps have children
to look after as well, there is
little time left in the day to
clean house. So, it makes sense
to a lot of people who find themselves
in this position to hire a professional
cleaning company to come and clean. |
| |
| The industry really
took off initially in the United
States, where franchise companies
such as Merry Maids made their
mark in the minds of many home
owners throughout the United States,
in offering to provide professional
cleaning personnel to clean house
while the parents (or parent)
are working. (Merry Maids also
did a great job of marketing their
franchise initially. Later on,
the franchise was bought by Servicemaster,
and there are many other cleaning
franchises available now for people
who want to enter the cleaning
industry through the doors of
a national franchise.) |
| |
| Various support
services grew up around the industry,
including a large variety of maid
service franchisors as well as
companies providing services to
the thousands of home cleaning
business that sprang up around
the country. These include companies
which provide chemicals and cleaning
materials to the cleaning companies
as well as consultants who advise
entrepreneurs who are starting
a new house cleaning business,
and software companies which provide
specialized computer software
to these cleaning service companies. |
| |
| The introduction
of specialized computer software
for the residential cleaning industry
helped change the image of the
industry from that of a "mom
and pop" business to that
of a serious, professional service
business, that can produce healthy
profits to the entrepreneur who
manages the business well, and
adopts the latest and best organization
tools, such as The Scheduling
Manager by Thoughtful Systems
— software
for maid services which has
been developed and refined over
a period of more than 20 years.
|
| |
| In order to start
and run a successful residential
cleaning business, you’re
going to have to offer excellent
and reliable professional service.
Besides knowing about the details
of cleaning, you’re going
to need good business skills and
good people skills to deal with
your customers and employees.
Few people have all these skills
right off the bat. Most people
are stronger in some areas than
others. Don't worry! Start where
you are, take advantage of your
strengths and rely on professional
help to improve in areas where
you need more training and skill
development. |
