How To
How to begin a cleaning service from scratch
It is important to identify your niche. This is where you will specialize. Do something you like doing and enjoy being good at. If you don't know where to begin, ask yourself these questions: Do I like cleaning? Is there something I like doing? Do you have any skills that would make you a great cleaner, or something I can do?
Once you've determined your niche, it's time to find out if there's demand for this type of service. This is possible in many ways. Online research is the best way to find out. Google search for cleaning services near you and it will return results. Check local magazines and newspapers. You will often see ads for cleaners in local newspapers and magazines. Finally, talk to friends and family members who might use your services. Most people don’t know they can hire someone cleaning their homes.
Once you have determined whether there is demand, you can decide how much to charge per hour. Remember that you'll probably lose some customers because of the price increase. If you charge too much, however, you will not get enough customers.
Next, determine what equipment you will need. These include brooms (mops), dustpans, vacuums, cleaners, air fresheners and toilet brushes. If you plan to buy everything new, expect to spend around $1,000.00.
You'll also need to establish a shop. You will need to have somewhere to store supplies, such buckets or mops, vacuums, and brooms. You'll also need furniture and lighting fixtures.
A sign for your front yard will be required. A sign should clearly state "Cleaning Service Available!" Potential clients will be able to call ahead to book an appointment.
