Niche - Niche Marketing is the process of narrowing your clientele to a few common denominators. This allows you to streamline your marketing, your services, and the equipment you need. Want to specialize or generalize in a certain aspect of cleaning like carpet cleaning, Airbnb, or such? Then I have some of the answers for you in these videos. Take a peek! th-cam.com/play/PLh1fKdNH3piTSDsy-lLN9q4pT5OxQ5F5J.html
Our company does a lot of move-out cleanings for apartment complexes. The Property Managers submit our invoices to their corporate office and that’s how we are paid. We have also done some move-out cleans for private landlords who rent out their properties. In our service agreement we always include the fact that the customer will be charged a cancellation fee if there is no running water or electricity upon our arrival and the cleaning will be canceled. Also, when not dealing with a property manager we have customers pay a $50 reservation fee that is included in the total price for the cleaning.
I love that you have these policies in place. It will keep your company from surprises and disappointment and it keeps the customer playing on the same page. High Five!
Do you have alot of success cleaning apartments not dealing with property management and just the individuals? And What do you charge? And are you constantly busy every day?
Another thing to consider: people LOVE to blame damages to the rental properties on a house cleaners when moving out. They tried it so many times on me. Take pictures, ask to sign a satisfaction form, etc. Be prepared. It WILL happen.
This is what I do. I’m a vender with a contracting company that does repairs on houses before they get put back up for rent. I email an invoice in after the job is complete and the company direct deposits the amount within a week.
I rent out my master suite. Took me 6 days to clean as I am older and bad leg. I know there are a lot of people who rent out rooms that could use this service if it was available for just a suite. Still have to do windows but I can't get up on ladder. Going price is $60/hr which is out of my range. Great advice as usual Angela. God bless.
Have you or anyone here tried.any of the window.cleaning kits that you.use.a garden hose with that you stand on the ground and spray clean the windows?.the cleaning solution auto feeds with the water jet from the hose onto the windows. Some require no rinsing. If so please share. thank you.
Coordinating with estate sales companies who can recommend your services can help you market your company as well as coordinating both with real estate agents and large apartment complexes to become their regular clean out company between leases.
Yes, it can be done well if there is a strategic plan in place and the team to deliver the service. For someone new in the business who doesn't yet have their pricing and systems in place, it can be more of a challenge.
@@ThatsTheWayItGoes interesting... Because as I have been following her channel a while now and she keeps sharing cleaning business tips encouraging her audience to have success in their cleaning business or just, in general, cleaning or in other business ventures. I guess I didn't get the memo that this wa0s a secret tip we aren't supposed to a apply to our own lives. 🙄
This was a surprising answer. I didn't even think about all of those complications. Her question also reminded me of that movie Sunshine Cleaning... another niche market 😊 Love that movie.
Thanks for watching. Yes, it's true, there are a variety of specialty cleaning packages that can be a business all by themselves. Move-out cleaning is one of them. :-)
@@flyaznguy810 I think that depends on what you like to do. We do alot of floor care and I enjoy it. Infact I spent last night and into early this morning scrubbing tile floors for a major retail store and a local bar I clean. Commercial cleaning is easier I think, then residential, but harder to jobs in.
You may not see this since it was posted a year ago but I've been watching house cleaners videos and most of them say the customer provides cleaning products because you never know preferences, allergies ect. What do you think and should it affect the charge.
When it comes to house cleaning services, some cleaners prefer customers to provide their own cleaning products due to individual preferences, allergies, or sensitivities. This allows for a more tailored cleaning experience. As for charges, it depends on the cleaner or service provider. Some may adjust their pricing to reflect the customer providing the products, resulting in a potentially lower overall cost. However, it's important to discuss this with the cleaner to understand their specific pricing structure. On the other hand, some professional cleaners bring their own supplies for convenience. The decision of who provides the cleaning products can vary, so clear communication is crucial to ensure a satisfactory cleaning service experience.
I bought my first house this year. I hired someone to clean it before I moved in. I told her exactly what I wanted; kitchen top to bottom, bathrooms top to bottom. Don't do carpets as they are getting cleaned professionally. She vacuumed, kinda cleaned the kitchen cabinets and mopped the kitchen floor. She didn't even go upstairs. She was very late showing up and didn't even call to say she was running late. I believe her charge was $140 and she was here for 4 hours. I hate cleaning but even I can do a better job than her. I ended up cleaning again. Never again.
Congratulations on your new home. I'm so excited for you. And I'm mortified at your experience with a house cleaner who did a sloppy half-hearted job. It makes house cleaners everywhere look bad and discourages customers like you from hiring again. I'm so sorry about that. 😰
@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you! 50 years old and my son ended up helping me buy the house. And I will never recommend this person. She says she cleans the million dollar homes a few neighborhood over but if sloppy me was not satisfied, I don't see how they would be. Maybe I should offer to clean for them.
Angela Brown also leaves the world a smarter place. How cool is that? Cleaner and smarter. Talk about "next to godliness." On a lighter but also serious side. New energy. New ideas. New opportunities. New and better plans. Improved services. New reliefs..... priceless.
ON a move out/in Cleaning I have a base package, then I have about 6-7 things that are additional and I make sure up front whom is paying me and I contact them first and remind them, its understood you will be paying me at the end of the job, yes/no these are my forms of payment, I will contact you as soon as we are finished, with pictures....
It's best to get a deposit for the job upfront or a credit card on file. This way you have more chance of being paid for the work done. Congratulations on putting together a package that streamlines the sales cycle.
Probably the Mommy's Helper Package. Video that explains it th-cam.com/video/BPlPwTott7U/w-d-xo.html - There are lots of house cleaners out there, but few offer this badly needed package.

Great points. Thanks for sharing. Yes, you have to have before and after pictures and keep good records every step of the job.
I live in a city with several universities and Airbnb’s. There are moving trucks constantly. They pay a lot more, but it’s a lot harder work
It is harder work. But some don't realize it until after they get into it. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching the video.

That's a great niche cleaning biz idea! Thanks to Angela and the questioner both for this idea. This could be right up my alley!

Smart to contemplate the business approach.
Thank you Elizabeth!
My business does both residential and commercial cleaning. We do mostly move out cleaning on the residential side. ( we clean carpets as well).
Oh wow, you're a triple whammy. Residential, commercial, and carpet. Hats off and high five. Go Get 'em, Sean! 👏👏👏
Hi Sean, looking to get a cleaning business started. Greater Tampa area, if you were me where would you start? Which service to focus on?
