A Simple Business That Repeats
Revenue That Repeats
Most of your revenue comes from recurring residential cleanings — weekly, biweekly, and monthly — for loyal customers like busy parents and empty nesters, plus commercial accounts like offices, churches, schools, and retail. Predictable, repeat income, not one-and-done jobs.
You're the Owner, Not the Cleaner
You run the business from a strategic level — hiring, leading, and coaching a team of licensed pros who do the cleaning. It's built for executive owners and self-starters who want a flexible, family-friendly week.
No cleaning experience required — you bring the leadership.
Backed by Neighborly®
As part of Neighborly®, the world's largest home-services franchisor, you get proven systems and real support: lead-driving marketing (digital ads, local website, social, email), operational tech for scheduling and recruiting, ProTradeNet® purchasing rebates, and cross-brand referrals.
People Will Always
Need a Clean Home
Cleaning is non-discretionary — homes and businesses always need it, and recurring plans bring customers back week after week. That's steady demand that doesn't wait for the economy.
