The first thing you need to do is determine if you want to do home or business cleaning. Business cleaning will probably lead to more money and bigger jobs, but with home cleaning, you’ll get to work with your customers on a more personal level. It really depends on what you’re getting into the business for. If you don’t have too much time to devote to it, then just pick up a few homes. If this is your full time job, step up to the business level.

Once you figure out what kind of work you’re going to be doing, you’ll be able to determine the kinds of customers you’ll be working with. That will determine the kind of marketing you need. There are going to be a lot of other home cleaners out there. You want to make sure you stand out in some way. Put a flyer in people’s mailboxes or put an ad in the paper. If you’re working from a business cleaning perspective, go out to business in the area and ask if they could use your services. Put yourself out there so the customers know who you are and what you do.

Last but not least, start making an itinerary of what you have to do every month so that you don’t get too far behind. If you only work for two people a couple days a week, that won’t be hard to do. If you’re working on a larger scale though, you want to make sure you get organized ahead of time so you don’t miss someone important. Being a home cleaner can be a lot of fun if you know what your goals are. You just have to make a plan and stick to it wholeheartedly.
