Residential House Cleaning

Residential cleaning businesses provide recurring cleaning services for homes - vacuuming, dusting, mopping, bathrooms, kitchens, and general tidying on regular schedules.

The recurring revenue model creates predictable income.

Per-cleaning prices range from $100-$300 depending on home size and services.

Serving 40-80 recurring clients generates $80,000-$240,000 annually with 40-60% margins after labor and supplies.

Target clients include dual-income families, busy professionals, elderly homeowners, new parents, and anyone valuing time over cleaning.

Services include weekly or bi-weekly cleaning, general house cleaning tasks, bathroom and kitchen deep cleaning, vacuuming and floor care, dusting and surface cleaning, and customizable service levels.

Success requires reliable consistent cleaning quality, trustworthy professional cleaners, efficient scheduling and routing, customer service and communication, and systems for quality control.

Many cleaning businesses start solo and hire as client base grows, offer initial deep cleaning at premium rates, use scheduling software for efficiency, potentially specialize in eco-friendly or allergy-friendly cleaning, and build recurring revenue through client retention.

The business is labor-intensive but provides essential service with strong recurring demand.
