If you’re starting a cleaning business, you might think you need a big budget for advertising to attract clients.
But I’m here to tell you that’s simply not true. In my 30+ years of running a successful cleaning business, I never spent money on paid ads. Instead, I focused on growing my business through word-of-mouth referrals. Let me tell you why this is the best way to grow a cleaning business and how you can use it to build your own.
Word-of-mouth referrals are incredibly powerful, especially in the cleaning business. Why? Because cleaning is a personal service. You’re entering someone’s home—their private space—so trust is everything.
It instantly builds credibility and trust when someone recommends your services to their friends or family. A referral from someone they know and trust carries so much more weight than any ad ever could.
Think about it: if you were hiring someone to come into your home, would you feel more confident hiring someone recommended by a friend or someone you saw in an ad? Most people would go with the recommendation every time.
That’s why word of mouth is so important in this industry—it builds trust and helps you connect with clients who are already primed to hire you.
When I first started my cleaning business, I spread the word to my friends, family, and neighbors. I let them know about my services and asked them to refer me to anyone they knew who needed a reliable cleaner. Those first few referrals were a game changer for me. Once I started delivering great results, those clients referred me to their friends, and the ripple effect began.
From there, my business grew steadily, all without spending a dime on advertising. Instead of focusing on paid ads, I focused on building relationships, delivering exceptional service, and letting my work speak for itself. It’s a strategy that has worked for over three decades, and it can work for you too.
If you’re ready to get started, here are some practical ways to use word of mouth to grow your cleaning business:
Let your personal network know about your business. Share what services you offer and how you can help. Don’t be shy about asking them to refer you to others. Your friends and family are often your biggest cheerleaders and want to see you succeed.
Join local Facebook groups and introduce your services in a genuine and professional way. These groups are full of people in your community who might be looking for a cleaner. Don’t just drop an ad and leave—engage in conversations, answer questions, and build authentic relationships. This helps people get to know you and trust you.
Consider joining your local Chamber of Commerce or other business networking groups. These groups are great for meeting other business owners and community members who might need your services or know someone who does. The more people you connect with, the more opportunities you create for referrals.
Your personal social media profiles are an incredible free marketing tool. Share updates about your business, cleaning tips, before-and-after photos, and client testimonials. This not only showcases your skills but also keeps you top of mind with your network. When they need a cleaner or know someone who does, they’ll think of you first.
At the end of the day, the best way to encourage word-of-mouth referrals is by doing excellent work. When your clients are thrilled with your services, they’ll naturally want to tell their friends and family about you. Happy clients are your best advertisement.
You don’t need a big marketing budget to build a successful cleaning business. Word-of-mouth referrals and free marketing opportunities are more than enough to get your business off the ground and growing. Focus on building trust, delivering outstanding service, and creating genuine connections in your community. That’s how I built my business, and it’s how you can build yours too.
