We started a house cleaning business over nine years ago. Although our schedules
are now brimming with other creative commitments, we continue to clean houses
and offices because the pay is excellent, it gives us the free time we need to pursue
our personal goals, and we like it.

When I first joined Ev as he started a house cleaning business I had no idea what I
was getting into, but I loved the idea of working for myself. Two things were
bothering me a little. First, I was concerned with job security. Second, I secretly
doubted my basic cleaning skills. Cleaning had always seemed like drudgery and I
wondered if my skills were up to par with the pros. Ev guaranteed that cleaning
would give me time to spend the way I wanted. I was ready to take a leap of faith,
so I decided to try it.

I made three discoveries:

Cleaning is not drudgery when you’re getting paid well to do it.

Leaving behind neat, clean rooms is quite satisfying.

Not having a boss is fantastic.

I also discovered a new use for my research and investigative skills. Because I was
determined to rank up there with the best of the professionals, I began to research
cleaning tips and as a result, learned how to clean just about anything. Best of all,
our diligence and excellent service has provided genuine job security all along.

Why do we think starting a house cleaning business is a great idea? Here’s eleven
reasons why:

1. Unlimited income potential

You can grow your house cleaning business as big as you want. Many recent
entrepreneurs have built up their house cleaning businesses up to 100k a year
within one year. Try that with a JOB (just over broke). Cleaning franchises are
booming nationwide, but franchises are a bad deal for the want-to-be professional
cleaner. You go massively into debt before you even get started. Franchises are
highly appropriate for oil lube shops and Internet cafes because those are expensive
and complicated businesses, cleaning is not.

2. Start bringing in money within two weeks

You can discover interested clients within days. You can be giving quotes within a
week. You can have jobs by week two. You can have a full-force house cleaning
business within a few months.

3. Start on a shoestring budget

You can start a house cleaning business for well under $100. This business is one of
the best for inexpensive start-ups. Believe it or not you can even start without a
vacuum or a car. We did!

4. Be your own boss

Absolutely my favorite reason for starting a house cleaning business. My inner
compass just tells me that being my own boss is taking me in the right direction. I’m
sure you can relate. Nothing quite compares to the pride and excitement of calling
the shots and being in charge of your own destiny. This is what America is all about,
right? What is stopping you? Sure, you’ll make mistakes, we all make them. But no
one is going to scold you and you’ll learn from your mistakes. Besides, as another
entrepreneur once said, we have the most sympathetic boss in the world -
ourselves!

5. Set your own hours

We love this aspect of starting a house cleaning business even more than being our
own boss. We take days off when we want and as often as we can get away with. Try
that with a JOB (just over broke). We find that we each work smarter instead of
harder because we’re able to tap into our natural sense of responsibility. When
you’re empowered to take charge of your own schedule you take more pride in the
work you do.

6. Get paid everyday

This is my second favorite benefit. It’s really cool. Every day we get at least one
check if not several. You won’t stress out about paying your bills on time. No
waiting two weeks or a month to get paid. This makes your personal accounting
system less stressful and a whole lot more enjoyable and even downright fun.

7. Cleaning is easy work, not technical or complicated

If you prefer to use your brainpower on genuinely creative, significant pursuits, or
even if you don’t, starting a house cleaning business won’t drain your brain.

8. Professional cleaning is not emotionally or mentally exhausting

This is Ev’s favorite part of starting a house cleaning business. Ev initially started a
house cleaning business because he was frustrated with how emotionally draining
his JOB was, making it very difficult for him to pursue his creative endeavors. He was
tired a lot of the time and just couldn’t get motivated. Within weeks of starting his
first house cleaning business he was realizing a lifelong desire to compose music.
He now has seven CDs of music published. Ev and I built a house ourselves with the
free time and free mental space afforded by our part time house cleaning business.

9. Choose who you work with

Number two favorite on Ev’s list. There has always been that one person that made
life at work less than enjoyable if not a complete drag. Can you relate? If we discover
we don’t exactly click with a client, we have a system for replacing them within one
week, sometimes sooner. You’ll never feel trapped with an unwanted associate
again.

10. Work close to home

No long commute, no commute at all if you prefer. There is plenty of work near you,
we drive maybe ten miles a day, we do 80% of our work in one neighborhood. When
Ev started his first house cleaning business he rode his bike and took public
transportation to his clients’ homes and offices. With a little foresight and planning,
you can clean with no supplies of your own. We have met several other cleaners who
work by bike and on foot as well.

11. Start additional cleaning services

You can add in any of a dozen additional cleaning services to maximize your profits.
Carpet cleaning, steam cleaning, house sitting, pet sitting and plantscaping are all
natural outgrowths of starting a cleaning business. You can mix house cleaning with
office cleaning, or window cleaning with house cleaning, or for variety do all three.

Starting a house cleaning business may not be glamorous, but because we did it, Ev
and I have gained free time to do what we want to do, lowered our stress levels,
become more productive and happier, and we make a good living. For people with a
sense of independence and a creative spirit, starting a house cleaning business is a
wonderful way to provide yourself with genuine security.
