Antonio Residential Cleaning Business Start-up Package".

Starting a Cleaning Business from Scratch

​

Starting a Cleaning Service can be very challenging at first if you have no idea how to begin. The first thing I would suggest is to figure out which type of Cleaning Service you want to start: a Residential Cleaning Service or a Janitorial Cleaning Service. Both cleaning services are in demand and can generate a substantial yearly income for you. Ultimately, your decision should be based on what you are more passionate about and the flexibility of your schedule.

How much money do I need to start a Cleaning Business?

​

You can start a Cleaning Business with as little as $500. Starting out, you will need a website, which will give you web presence so that your potential clients can verify that you are a real business. Next, you will need a uniform with your business name. You want to always look professional when you arrive at your client's location. Cleaning chemicals will be something that you need as well. As far as equipment is concerned, you can use your vacuum cleaner, broom, and other equipment you may have that is similar to equipment that was just mentioned. As you grow, you can go out and buy new equipment. Remember, starting out, you want to save as much money as possible. No need to go out and buy expensive equipment. Lastly, you want to have some money set aside so that you can have some business cards and flyers made to market your business.

Starting a House Cleaning Business

​

Starting a Residential Cleaning Service has lots of benefits. One benefit is that this type of business allows you to set your own schedule. This is not a stationary business but a mobile business which means you will have to drive to each one of your clients' locations to provide your services. 90% of the time you will have to bring your own cleaning chemicals and equipment such as vacuum cleaner. There will be times where your clients will ask you to use their cleaning supplies or vacuum cleaner, but this is rare. Another benefit of starting a house cleaning business is that you will get paid daily for your services performed.    

​

Different types of services offered by a House Cleaning Business:

​

General Clean: A general cleaning is typically a basic cleaning that you would perform in your home on a daily basis. It includes cleaning the kitchen, living room, bathrooms, bedrooms, and vacuuming and mopping all the floors. 

​

Deep Cleaning: A deep cleaning typically includes everything in general cleaning but at a deeper level. This includes cleaning out the refrigerator and behind it, inside and behind the oven, inside the microwave, bathtubs/showers, and wall tiles.

​

Spring Cleaning: A spring cleaning is typically a general clean with extra tasks but slightly different. It involves cleaning baseboards, cabinets, washing windows inside and out, cleaning blinds, dusting from top to bottom, cleaning and dusting ceiling fans and light fixtures, air vents, and wiping down furniture.
