YOUR STARTUP BUSINESS: CLEANING TECHNICIAN.

Are You Good at Cleaning? Then This Business Might Be For You.

By Bonnie Drew

How fast can you clean a house? Today's house-cleaning specialists are experts at thorough, yet fast, service. Male or Female, they clean a whole house in about three hours.

Before you advertise yourself as a cleaning technician, try it at home and be sure you can do the work. If you can, you will make good money. Average pay runs $10 per hour or higher.

SERVICES TO OFFER:

* Sweeping or vacuuming all floors

* Dusting the entire house

* Mopping the kitchen and bathroom

* Cleaning all sinks, toilets, tubs and showers

* Changing bed linens

This is what is called a "general house cleaning." Spring cleanings or deep cleanings are extra. Example of extra services are:

* Cleaning the ceiling fans

* Doing laundry

* Washing walls or woodwork

* Cleaning the oven and refrigerator

* Polishing furniture

Your clients should provide all equipment and cleaning products. In addition, they should provide you with detailed instructions of what they want.

Remember that clients who are satisfied with your services, will often recommend you to others. That can be a good way for you to build a steady business.
