Why Own a Molly Maid?
Weekly, biweekly, and monthly cleanings from loyal, repeat customers.
You own the business and lead the team. Licensed pros handle the cleaning.
Tap the systems, marketing, and network of the largest home-services franchisor.
You bring the capital and the leadership. Business training and coaching are included.
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 buy the franchise and run the business from a strategic level — hiring, leading, and coaching a team of licensed pros who do the cleaning. It's built for owners and investors who want a flexible, family-friendly week.
You bring the capital and the leadership. Cleaning experience isn't required.
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 behind the business you'd own.
