Cleaning Houses
Are you looking for a way to make extra
cash? You can do so by offering your service by helping people
cleaning houses.
You will need to decide the cleaning services you going to
provide. It could be tile cleaning, cleaning windows, carpet
cleaning, laundry service and so on. Make sure you are able to
deliver a good job with the type of service that you’re going
to provide.
You might want to go for training if it’s provided in your
area. This can help you to improve the quality of service being
delivered and help you to retain a long term customers.
It is important to have your own equipment and cleaning
solution required to perform your job. You should only use the
cleaning supplies that you brought along and never use any of
the client’s personal cleaning supplies.
You will need to establish the prices for the services that
you provide. You might want to call around and get estimation
from your competitors to see what kind of prices they’re
offering. This way, you can compare the prices and establish
your rates.
Cleaning houses is a lucrative business that can potentially
generate anywhere from $50k to $100k per year. You can start
with a very low capital. Some even claim they start for as low
as $100. Just make sure to invest back in the business so that
you can expand your business and increase it.
It is essential to advertise your service on newspapers,
local online forums and the bulletin boards available at the
grocery stores in your area. People will notice the service
that you offer and this can help you establish your client
base.
You should order your own business cards where you list the
type of cleaning service you provide. Make sure it will be easy
for your prospects to give you a call and use your service when
they look at your business card.
It is important to know how to close the deal. You can
expect to receive a lot of phone calls from those who are
interested to use your service. Provide them with estimates
when they ask for a price quote but insist that you will need
to visit their house so that you can give an exact quote.
Always ask for permission to visit their house and give an
exact quote.
Make sure to deliver an excellent job when you actually get
the job. This will help you get more clients when they share
the story with their family and friends.
But most importantly, you should only start this as a
business if you’re comfortable when you’re required to do the
job because you might not be able to focus when you feel it’s
degrading to do house cleaning.
