$778 to clean that church. 5 hours two people. But how many times per month does it get cleaned? If it's cleaned once per week. $778 per month seems to be below the standard pricing for a place that big. If they only go and give it a good cleaning once per month than that price makes sense.

A business can achieve six figures through hardwork and collective efforts. Make sure to screen thoroughly your applicants before hiring them. You want people to trust you to their home or business and allow you inside their property while they’re away. Many cleaning service business owners may have the urge to skip background checks and criminal record screening due to the extra expenditure, but this step is crucial in order to protect yourself, your business and your current and future clients.

I’ve been in the cleaning industry for 30 years , it’s very hard to compete with the big cleaning companies that seem to have the “ right connections “ , I am telling you by personal experience if you try to go yourself to get accounts the chances are almost impossible unless you find a cheap client who is willing to hire anyone for a cheap price . Now trying to find good people it’s like trying to grab a sleeping tiger’s nuts and live to tell , not only that but nobody wants to work for no less than $25 per hour in my area , on top of that add liability / works man cop insurance , taxes and lots of bull shit . You will be better off to work for a cleaning contractor , where you will be a subcontractor and maybe get $30 to $35 per hour , and my advice don’t hire , save yourself headaches . I remembered before the pandemic my ex wife and I used to make about $12500 per month putting around 60 hrs each per week . Now I work by myself , I work no more than 30 hrs per week , bring home around $4700 , I weed out the loudsy accounts , keeping the good ones , but I still work as a subcontractor .

I started working with cleaning companies when I started cleaning homes for a living 16 years ago - I took ALL the clients they would assign me because I felt that the companies treated the employees poorly. Hell, they had us on as independent contractors instead of as employees and would pay min wage. (There were other issues also, like it didn’t seem like the owners of the companies actually understood what it took to clean properly and they had unrealistic expectations amongst other things.) They didn’t realize that without their cleaners they had NOTHING. They also had us sign contracts to not steal their customers. Non of us abided by it. The company charged $60hr to clean homes, and pay us $12hr. I’d tell the clients I’d charge $50hr if they paid me directly. I would have 💯 stayed with the companies and not taken their clients if I had felt RESPECTED. The way workers are treated makes ALL the difference.

I have great respect for anyone who operates their own business. However, this type of business OWNs the operator. If he is off sick or cannot work for a variety of reasons then profits slump. There is also the risk contracts can be cancelled due to the client going out of business themselves. I prefer a residual income type business where revenue comes in regardless.

That could change very soon. If we have a Recession. Layoffs will be coming. Some people will have to cancel thier services. Because they will not be able to afford it. Whatever avenue you go down, there will always be a con. Good luck.

Thank you for the question Thomas. Congrats on getting started. This can be a challenge for many businesses especially when they are first starting out. 😀Keep working hard and things will get better. Sometimes you may have to lower the prices or even do small things for free until you build up, you're clientele. You can also price other companies in your area that do the same work to see what they charge. Please keep us up to date with your businesses progress. 😀

Nice, I'd love to work for this guy. Seems to keep his check lists down to Earth. He almost lost me when he said 5 hours for a Church, but then he read off 5-6 items. I've worked for plenty of places (and more recently) an ice cream deli who wanted 2 people to clean the entire store in an hour. Mopping, sweeping, dusting, etc. Which isn't hard when you get it down, but there was so many items on the list. I quit because I found out she was cutting off hours (mostly at closing). So we'd close at 8 and usually spend (when we had 3 people) 20 minutes closing and cleaning down. But with 2 it took us over an hour, and she'd cut off our pay at 9 exactly. So she was scamming us out of our time. Plus she was paying minimum wage, so the pain wasn't worth it.

how do you decide on price point! I am ready to launch my cleaning business but just stuck on the pricing point. I know I want to do a flat fee but need guidance on how to come up with that price point.
@UpFlip

To determine your cleaning business’s pricing, start by calculating all your costs and researching local market rates. Consider what’s included in your services and how much time and labor are involved to ensure your flat fee is both competitive and profitable. Good luck!

So, in order to help a customer make a review as easily as possible, what I would do is make my own app and from there, with just a couple clicks, they can leave a review in less than 2 seconds. Doesn't that sound cool, easy and feasible? It obviously would be much more expensive than if you were to have them leave a review on Google, but you have to do everything to make your customers happy.

Are there groups that handle taxes and creating contracts. I want to learn everything I can!

I just started cleaning my gym's equipment. They love the job I've been doing and want me to do more locations. I do work a regular cleaning job as well. I was wondering where this cleaning service is to offer $17 hour starting pay? Cause here in Ohio these companies act like $10 - $11 is enough. Hopefully, my own thing will take off more so can quit.
