Im thinking to starting a cleaning business for residential and commercial property to earn some extra income. I dont have any experience but I love to clean. Please help!! How do I start? Where can I find the customer? How much do I charge for the service?Thank you so much for your time!.--Answer1:How much to charge will be very dependent on where you live and the type of work you do. An office cleaning business in Hartford Connecticut isnt going to charge the same as one in Topsham Maine. You will need to find a way to figure out what other companies in your area are charging and stay competitive with them. Where do you start? Join a cleaning services bulletin board or yahoo group. Participate in the discussions and you will learn a lot. Try this one to start with: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cl...Google Office cleaning bulletin board and you will find several discussion groups about the business.You might need to be licensed in your state. Contact your secretary of state and ask if they can tell if there are special requirements for cleaning businesses.If you plan to do any type of exterior cleaning, make sure you understand the EPA regulations about waste water reclaim.If you can, work for a company doing what you plan to do. There is no substitute for hands on training.Every building you see: houses, businesses, warehouses, industrial spaces, are potential customers. You need to develop a plan for what type of cleaning you want to focus on. Trying to be everything to everyone as a start-up is a sure recipe for disaster.Good Luck.--Answer2:You should decide if you want to do residential or commercial. Very different. You can do both eventually, but focus on one to start. If it was me I would do commercial, easier to approach businesses, easier to meet standards. Go work for a cleaning company (preferably the best one around) to understand the standards expected by clients.When you are ready, just start walking into businesses and ask for the job. Pricing is an art, not a science. a) Start low and keep raising rates until people say no. Or b) start high and keep cutting rates until someone says yes. Or c) figure out what it would cost to hire someone to do it, including travel, supplies, equipment, etc, and then bid so that you get at least a 20% profit. I would choose a combination of B and C most f teh time, unless the client had special benefits..--Answer3:You can start by getting up all the cleaning stuff that you will need.Then go and make up sings and put them in windows and store. What to charge is a good question but I would see what they would want to pay. I would say around 50 to 75 for a small house and around 125 to 150 for a big house well good luck on your new job.--Answer4:Make up a small flyer that tells the services that you will do and then place them on the car windshields in parking lots where people are working. (like schools, factories, hospitals, etc.) Working people want your services. Do a good job and you will never be out of work.
