Money Making Ideas-Cleaning

An occasional series looking at different ideas for micro and small business income. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comments

Today we look at: Cleaning

Standard Housecleaning

Specialist House Cleaning
Allergy Cleaning
Quarterly Home Inspection Cleaning
Vacated Premises Cleaning

Business and Commercial Cleaning

Potential Start Up Costs
Advertising
Word of mouth, newspapers, letterbox drop, Facebook (buy and sell pages), Gumtree, noticeboards.

Cleaning Products
Depending on products used could be basic supermarket brands, heavy duty commercial products or low allergy/natural products.

Cleaning Equipment
Vacuum, mop, sponges, squidgees, specialist cleaning equipment like Enjo for chemical free cleaning.

Police Clearance
A NPC will cost around $55 and can be obtained in Australia at Post Office outlets.

Insurance-Personal and Business
May be optional. Cost will vary.

Transport
Car/Van/Public?

Cleaning can be a relatively easy business to start up in that much of the equipment and experience is already available to you. If you have several regular homes/clients, it can be a good source of income. Cleaning can be physically hard and a high standard is required.
