My parents started a cleaning biz in Florida when I was younger. Mom had worked with a cleaning company and had some contacts already so that made it easier. But still, one of the best things they did on the marketing front was hanging fliers in the upperscale housing developments. We spent many a weekend hanging fliers on doors.

My dad continued the biz after they divorced, and is still going with it to my knowledge.

Here is another cleaning company owned by a man - they started very small but now are one of the major players in Philadelphia.  A huge aspect to their success was leveraging their website to land some major clients...they invested initially in a lot of SEO work and now they are highly ranked and doing very well.  That would be my advice - use the internet, it's your best friend!  

 

Good Luck!

You should start it as you are highly motivated and I believe that you will understand this business well. The main point of differentiation is your service quality, In this segment you will get more referrals for your services.

Also dont forget to list your business in directories and classified ad sites.

 

Best of luck

Of all the businesses you could want to start up, home cleaning has to be up there as one of the easiest. What other business need skills you already have (you do clean your house don't you), equipment you most possible already have and offers a service that is necessary by almost everybody at some point in time.

I found that a lot of women chosen a man doing the cleaning as they can do more as far as harder tasks. Lady cleaners they said that they loved to talk talk talk while a man just gets on with it. Some of them didn't employ anything but men cleaners.

If you own a residential house cleaning service, then you are probably always looking for ways to attract new clients and A home cleaning business can be very economical to start, and has the potential to be one of the most lucrative.

Yes agreed. But try to start a small house cleaning business instead of a large one at the time of initiation. When you got experience and revenue then you can expand as per your budget. Also it is better to hire professional contractors so that your customers always prefer your services and call you that others.

You can start a cleaning business with cleaning supplies and a liability insurance policy. Advertise your services, including some pricing specials to rake in the business.will need a business card and some flyers along with a business plan. What hours and days will your work? How many homes or offices can you feasibly handle with your present staff? Will you hire anyone or work alone?Word of mouth will serve you well and clients will tell their friends. Before you know it, you'll be on your way.Word of mouth will serve you well and clients will tell their friends. Before you know it, you'll be on your way
