How to Start a Cleaning Business (That Makes $25,000/Month)

Have you ever wondered how to start a cleaning business? If you haven’t before, a better question might be: Do you want to be your own boss—and provide a valuable service for people and businesses in your community? A cleaning business can be a highly profitable way to achieve both goals.

And you don’t need much money to start a cleaning company, either. Compared to other common businesses, the overhead and start-up costs when you start a cleaning business are relatively minimal. You can set yourself up for long-term success if you know how to start a house cleaning business the right way.

In this interview, Corey Edmonds tells you how to start your own cleaning business. His pressure washing business, ProWash, made $300k last year and is on track to double that revenue. If you were wondering how much money you could make starting a cleaning business, that gives you some idea of the potential.

We asked Corey for his best advice and strategies on how to start a cleaning business. He shares his secrets for attracting and keeping clients, what equipment you need to get started, and how to quickly grow your revenue. This is one interview you don’t want to miss if you’re looking to become an entrepreneur with a cleaning business of your own.

Wow... He was not kidding when he said he was going to drop golden nuggets. This insight is brilliant. Taking so many notes. Thank you for this

[darioxbrow]

Keys that I've taken away from this vid:
1)move to a place where you can expand your business
2)your prices have to increase 5% every year year at the minimum
3)use your time wisely and target your audience
4)there's no competition if you treat your customers well
5)budget is one of the most important things in your business plan
6)write down your goals


as always guys, you are amazing and are keeping me focused on my goals. As of now, I still haven't opened my shopify store cause I'm running out of time, but I'm making some good money now. Hopefully I open something next month. Give me some ideas. Make a video about an ecommerce store please

[brandonrichardson]

I like that you guys have real small businesses on the channel. It's harder to find online than fly by night businesses.

As a technical writer with two decades of experience, I LOVE that Corey documents his business processes! I commend his proactive approach to documentation. SO many times, I am called into situations where the client is reacting to a situation caused by lack of written processes, policies, and procedures.

These jobs are a "golden opportunity " for anyone who is a hard working independent. I work a full time job and am getting ready to pull the trigger on lawn care, landscaping, power washing, tree trimming hauling and snow removal. The money I have made on the side has really helped me on getting into this business, next year I will be fully independent.

[EnglishWalk]

There are so many Brazilians that go live in the U.S. and end up with a successful cleaning business. It seems very profitable...

[ChaniqueStewart]

This is so needed I myself have a small cleaning business and there is not any new content !

[thursday]

Corey’s a smart guy, and he can make great revving sounds with his mouth.
He’s the complete package.

[stephandden]

Loved the style of this video! And it's a great time to be in cleaning! ✨

[KristenChittock]

Love the idea of performance pay -- I used to hire for a construction company and nowadays it's a very competitive industry for gaining/keeping employees!

[SocialConfidenceMastery]

I had no idea that the cleaning business is so profitable!

[ElizabethSampson]

Wow! What a great interview filled with so many golden nuggets for any entrepreneur!

[sagegrayson]

Great tips! I love the strategy of raising your prices by at least 5% every year.

[honneyfrazier]

That was an awesome interview. He has structure in his business.

[CarlosAPaz]

Is all nice, you guys should have a playlist with business lessons, like the video of writing a business plan, what about one for creating a budget? How does that sound?

[Positivelysierra]

A lot stuck out to me but a couple of things that stuck out the most was pricing by square foot because you can’t teach someone on timing. The goal is to delegate work out and manage a good budget. Thanks for the tips!

[GoIdaho]

Performance pay is what it’s all about. Thanks so much.

[Marcus_Crockett]

Glad to see my Washington cleaning companies holding it down.

[Clean-N-ShineInDfw]

Thank you for these videos. The videos by far have so many nuggets that I'm taking down for notes.

[cheetahbrw]

I love this. Did he need to have certifications in this business? I love how you guys touched on everything. I’m a small business owner and I’m trying to rebrand and upgrade.


You guys were dropping gems!! Amazing!
