Home Biz Idea of the Week: House Cleaning Service Home Business
Filed in archive business ideas on March 19, 2007
You're hopeless in the boardroom, you hate field work, but you can make a house spanking clean in a jiffy and without breaking a sweat. If you've been the Housewife Champion for House Cleaning for five straight years, don't you think it's time to make your once-underestimated talent for cleaning into a home business?
Estimate Costs for a House Cleaning Home Business
For a hundred dollars or less, you'll be able to purchase all the necessary supplies, tools, equipment, and materials for house cleaning. Some of it you might not even need to purchase because you already have them at home. Having a telephone, fax and answering machine, computer and Internet access would definitely be an advantage because it allows you more ways to entertain client inquiries. Expect to spend a bit more to acquire the appropriate license for your business and have some advertising materials made.
It's also advisable to consult an attorney and have him prepare a contract for your business. It's important that your contract protects you from being unfairly accused of theft, trespassing, or other criminal violations by unsavory clients. House cleaning may be an easy and simple thing to do for you, but it definitely takes a more dangerous tone when you're providing cleaning services for other people and entering the properties of others.
Estimate Return on Investment (ROI) for a House Cleaning Home Business
A year or even less is all you need to recoup your investment. For starters, you can charge your clients ten to thirty dollars per hour or a Fixed Rate per session. If you wish to entertain clients from distant areas, you can always charge them extra due to transportation expenses.

I have a cleaning service here in Tucson. I also have an associated house cleaning tips blog with the website. So I read a lot of other blogs these days.
It always amazes me how easy starting a cleaning business is to accomplish. Yes, it is true that you can start a business with very little investment. The is only such a small part of the equation. Buying equipment is the easy part, but a very pivital segment of this business picture.
Those who start a cleaning business on a $100.00 budget are usually out of business very soon.
Do you realy want to be like so many others who are cleaning until something better comes along and using products from Target? Or are you willing to invest in the proper tools and commercial equipment. Are you willing to be different and then back up your business by providing quality and dependable service?
Success in the cleaning business to time, effort, and money.
You need to use the internet for research and marketing! Yes, start out with a free website and then move onto a professional site...
Yes, plan for success and be realistic
and you will succede... I put I lot of effort into my website http://www.yourfreshstart.us
I wanted a quality site that reflected the quality of my work... Remember, even with a cleaning business many purchase decisions are begun online... Above all don't give your service away to get referrals... And don't be afraid to ask for what your worth... If you are going to clean somebody's toilet you had better get paid well!
