Home Cleaning Service

Hi, msealey!

I originally left your question alone in the hopes that Stringer would notice it, because he really does know his stuff about that type of business and his advice is second to none.

Hopefully, he will be along eventually. In the meantime, I do have a question for you, and that would be, what kind of cleaning experience to you already have working for others doing that kind of thing in order to make a profit for yourself, please?

Thanks!

Thank you for reply. To answer your question, I have never cleaned for anyone except for myself. I do an exceptional job though. My husband can always tell when I've cleaned upon walking in our home.

Clough...you are too kind my friend, thank you. You know I have been extremely busy lately and I haven't had the time I would like to be here. But I had a feeling, yes a feeling that I should check in....

Msealey please start by telling me in what country, state, city are you located?

What business experience in any business do you have?

Do you have any contacts for labor? That is, do you have a source for helpers/employees?

Please answer these questions and we can go from there.....K?

Stringer

Thank you for replying Stringer. I'm in Tampa, FL, I don't have any business experience and as of today no contacts. I personally plan to do the cleaning myself with the hopes of hiring employees once the demand increases.

Hi, I am sorry but I only have a minute at present but one thing that will help a great deal initially is to have at least one other person to help you. Even if it is part time;

You can do only so much within any given hour at least with one other person with flexible hours you can cut the linear hours at each house/home and be available to do additional homes.

There is much more to discuss and I will get back when I can. Please review the posts on AMHD pertaining to "cleaning service" in the interim. You will find everything from low cost marketing, equipment, insurance, cleaning methods, etc....

Stringer

Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Msealey I want to apologize to you I have been exceptionally busy and I have not had the time to spend with you that I would have liked to.

Have you reviewed the posts that I suggested? If so, are there any direct questions that you have?

Just ask....

Hi, msealey and Stringer!

I should have done this earlier on this thread. Sometimes it can be hard to locate specific threads about a subject because they can be located in a number of topic areas.

In the next post, I have compiled links to a number of threads that have to do with starting a cleaning service of some kind. The list is by no means exhaustive, but at least it's a start. There is much information on the threads. I haven't listed them in any order of importance, but did try to use the ones that seemed to have the most information on them.

Hopefully someday, Stringer and I can collaborate on making a Sticky about starting a cleaning service of any kind so that people wouldn't have to do so much searching on this site when they do come here and are asking about such a thing.

Now, I'm going to add the following words in phrases to this thread so that it will get excellent results when people do searches for this kind of thing on the Internet.

Starting a cleaning service, starting a cleaning business, how to start a home-based cleaning business, start-up advice for a cleaning company, self-employed as a house cleaner, home cleaning services, advertising my cleaning business, promoting a cleaning service, how to start cleaning in homes, how to clean a home or office, costs to start a cleaning service, how to price cleaning homes, office cleaning prices, pricing for a cleaner business, Internet advertising for a cleaning service, promoting a cleaning service...

I may add to that later as more ideas come to me. One thing that I do for myself and also for others, is that I know how to get a business really exposed when people do searches for things on the Internet. As such, that's one of the businesses that I do, being website development and advertising on the Internet for people. I have been doing Internet advertising for over three years now, and most of the business that I get, comes from the free ads that I've placed on the Internet. Not every site gets great exposure, but this one does. Since I haven't really promoted my business here nor provided any contact information, it's okay here. I'm not trying to advertise my own business, but am trying to help people here.
