How to Start A House Cleaning Business In 7 Simple Steps

How to Start A House Cleaning Business…
…In 7 Simple Steps

One of the main reasons people start businesses is to make money. For some, it's a blessing to make money doing something they love. I'm not saying that you have to love house cleaning in order to have a successful house cleaning business; however, it would be a good idea if you didn't hate it.
How much money you make depends on how big you want your business to be. It could be a one-person operation where you set up at home and service areas close to home, or you could set up a commercial office and
hire people to work for you.
Here are 7 simple steps to get you started on your own house cleaning business.


1) Decide exactly what kind of house cleaning services you will offer. Here you decided what cleaning you will do, like making beds,
vacuuming, mopping and waxing floors, dusting and so on. Also note that you won't do, e.g. laundry. You can also decide to specialize, e.g. by cleaning carpets only or cleansing suspended ceilings only.

2) Pricing your housecleaning service.To have an idea of how to charge for your housecleaning service, use your competition. Check your telephone directory and the classified ads section in your local newspapers for cleaning businesses, call them up
(pretend to be a prospective client) and find out exactly what cleaning services they offer and how much they charge. With this information gathered decide the best price to charge for your cleaning service.

3) Workout startup costs.For this, you need to consider, tools, material, transport, advertising, insurance, etc. Write down a list of all the tools and material you need,
like cleaners, sponges, mops, carpet cleaning equipment, etc. Next, find out the cost of each item on the list and write it down next to the item.
Transport: you will have to estimate your costs here. You see it depends on where your client is located and your means of transportation to get to your client. (Having your own vehicle would be to your advantage).
Advertising: You can use free advertising (word of mouth) and paid advertising (classifieds, telephone directory ads etc). Phone calls to your local newspaper and the telephone company who publish your telephone directory will tell you the cost of placing ads.
Once you've gathered all this information, calculate your total startup costs.

4) Name your business.Choosing an appropriate name for your house cleaning business is important. Here are a few examples I got of the internet, ‘Maid Brigade', ‘All Shine Cleaning', ‘White Glove Cleaning Service'. Please avoid using ‘Your Name Cleaning Services'. Using your own name as part of your business name is overdone by many house cleaning businesses. Brainstorm and come up with a name that helps you stand out of the crowd.

5) Learn the zoning regulations of your community. Check the city clerk's Office or your local library for a copy of the zoning laws governing your community. Your reason for doing this is that some zoning regulations prohibit home businesses in a community.

6) Do a few free cleaning jobs.Well, you're not actually doing them for free. You're doing them in exchange for references (these add to your credibility for future paying clients and are invaluable). You can offer these free cleaning jobs to friends, nonprofit organizations in your communities, etc.

7) Get your first paying client then get another and another and another and so on.Tell everyone you know that you've started a cleaning business and place ads in the local newspapers. In the beginning, you need to spend most of your time and money getting paying clients. However, the more
clients you get less time and money you spend on marketing and more time
you spend on cleaning and making your clients happy.

This is just the beginning. Once you start making money take a house
cleaning business course to help you better manage your business in terms of growth, accounting, taxes, insurance, better marketing strategies and more.

Specialist Home Cleansing - The Dirty Little Trick

I'm composing this post due to the fact that I'm tired of all the books being offered that inform individuals how simple it is to begin their own cleansing organization. I'm not presuming that all their details are bad, however, let's be sincere about how "simple" it truly is. There's an unclean little secret hanging over the cleansing trade that no one speaks about, however every expert cleaner face. And regrettably, if you purchase among the books on how to begin your own cleansing organization, they will not inform you about this problem and most likely do not even understand it exists. Why do not they understand it exists? Since the book was more than most likely composed by an organization expert and not a cleansing specialist. To share the obligation, I'll be sincere and expose that even the expert cleaners do not speak about this concern. And I can't find out why; are they in rejection, do they choose to simply overlook it or are they f
