Starting and running a successful house cleaning service requires an eclectic blend of talents. Entrepreneurs who achieve success in this field have to enjoy the cleaning process and working with people. Secondarily, they must have the ability to organize. Computer literacy is another requisite along with a high energy level.
EuroMaids has two decades in the business and has found that these are the most important attributes it takes to build a thriving cleaning service:
Provide your best house cleaning service whenever you’re on the job. Expect top performances from yourself and your staff every day. Never cut corners to get the job done faster or skimp on the cleaning products you need.
If you avoid harsh cleaning products or methods in your own home, don’t use them in someone else’s. When cleaning homes, the process is just as important as the results. Making something clean with harmful chemicals defeats the purpose of a clean house. Children and pets are vulnerable to residual chemicals left on surfaces and the least able to avoid their effects.
A successful cleaning company, like Euro Maids, will use green cleaning products exclusively. They make protecting the short and long term health of clients and the team members who handle them a priority.
Being on time is crucial for the success of any business, but when it comes to house deep cleaning, balance it with moderation. Rushing through a cleaning job could result in poor performance or unsafe conditions. It’s better to let your customers know that you’re running late and give them options to either reschedule or allow you to start and finish later.
Although accidents happen and breakage does occur, it won’t happen as much when the cleaners relaxed and work at their own pace. When something breaks or gets damaged, be sure to tell your clients immediately about the incident.
Regardless of the situation, keep the customer first when dealing with issues related to performance or service. If you don’t have time, delegate it to someone with the interpersonal skills to handle the situation.
Employees are the backbone of your company. Give them the support they deserve and need to help you run a successful cleaning business. Learn to communicate your expectations and establish fair and nondiscriminatory policies. Besides acknowledging their top performances verbally, reward them with praise. In addition to verbal recognition, research shows that financial rewards or time off also motivates employees.
Not only does it help to have a system for regular cleaning a home, it’s also good to have systems in place for managing the business. Computers are indispensible for keeping track of:
Staying on top of the daily aspects of a house cleaning service is important, but in the long term, you’ll need to:
