Cleaning Business Skills

What skills do you need to start a cleaning business?

Well, for one you need to know how to clean.  Most of us already know this, but to clean for someone else you need an attention to detail. 

You need to be able to clean good and at a pace that won’t require much of your time.

Knowing how to use cleaning tools and having a backup is important.  Even if you don’t carry two of everything with you to each job you need to know that a backup is ready somewhere if needed.

On the business side of things you will need to know at least some basic record keeping.  Use a CPA or professional accountant to take care of your books and get suggestions from them on what works best.

Giving estimates may be the biggest unknown when thinking about starting your cleaning business.  How much do I charge?  We will get to that topic in the near future.
