Profitable House Cleaner

Build a More Profitable Solo Cleaning Business

A cleaning business that works around your life, not the other

way around.

I built a profitable solo cleaning business working part-time and making more than a full-time income.

Now I help other solo cleaners do the same.

Your Business Is Supposed to

Work for YOU

Whether you’re thinking about starting a cleaning business, just getting started, or you’ve been cleaning for a while...

You want this business to give you something.

More income. More freedom. More choices.

You want good clients you actually enjoy working with. You want to be paid well for the work you do.

And you want to build a business that gives you more, not one that constantly asks more from you.

That’s what a profitable solo cleaning business can do for you.

Now I teach other women how to build their cleaning businesses with the clients, pricing, systems, and structure that make that possible.

Because the goal isn’t just to start a cleaning business.

It’s to build one that changes what’s possible for you

Not Sure What You Should

Be Charging?

If you’re guessing at your cleaning prices, charging by the hour, or wondering whether your jobs are actually paying you enough,

start here. 👇

I created a FREE Flat Rate Pricing Cheat Sheet to help you start thinking about your pricing like a business owner, not just picking a number and hoping it works.

Ready to Put the Pieces Together?

Getting the client is only one part of building a profitable solo cleaning business.

You also need to know how to choose the right clients, define what you clean, price the work, set expectations, protect your time, and create client relationships that are worth keeping.

From Busy to Profitable™

Build a simpler, more profitable solo cleaning business around valuable, long-term recurring clients.

Whether you’re brand-new and want to build your business right from the beginning, or you’ve been cleaning for a while and know parts of your business need to work better, this gives you a clear process to follow.

Inside, you’ll go from pre-screening potential clients to leading the walkthrough, pricing the work, setting policies, booking the client, and building referrals.

Hi, I'm Trisha

I built and ran my own solo residential cleaning business for over 30 years.

I didn’t start out knowing what I was doing. I undercharged, overcleaned, and thought I needed every client who was willing to hire me.

Over time, I learned how to price better, choose better clients, simplify my services, and build a business that worked for my life.

I had clients who stayed with me for 10, 15, even 20+ years, and some of those long-term clients brought $100,000 or more into my business over the years.

Not because I had a team or a huge cleaning company.

I built long-term relationships with the right recurring clients and learned just how valuable one great client could become.

Now I help other women build profitable solo cleaning businesses using what I learned from actually building one myself.

That’s the kind of business I teach now.

How To Get Your First (Or Next) Cleaning Client For FREE

November 12, 2024•4 min read

Starting your own house cleaning business? If you’re ready to start generating leads and building up your client base, you’re in the right place! Here are some tried-and-true ways to get your cleaning business noticed by potential clients—without spending a dime. And if you're looking for even more guidance, be sure to grab my free Cleaning Business Start-Up Checklist below

1. Make Social Media Your Best Friend

Social media is a fantastic, free tool to put yourself on the map and show what your cleaning business is all about. Set up profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and use them to share your journey. Post-before-and-after photos of your cleaning jobs, sprinkle in some cleaning tips and show a little behind-the-scenes to let people get to know you. Engage with your followers, respond to comments, and join community groups to reach people in your local area. Hashtags can work wonders, too—use ones related to your location and cleaning to broaden your reach!


2. Get Noticed on Google My Business

Want to make it easy for clients to find you when they search "cleaning services near me"? That’s where Google My Business (GMB) comes in! This free tool lets you create a business listing that shows up in local search results and Google Maps, putting your contact information, business hours, and client reviews right in front of potential customers. Keep your listing active by updating it regularly with fresh photos and responding to reviews—it can help boost your ranking and build credibility with new clients.

3. Build a Strong Referral Network

Nothing beats a personal recommendation, especially in the house cleaning industry! Encourage happy clients to spread the word about your services. Offering a discount or a small perk for every new client they refer can give them that extra motivation to tell friends and family about you. And don’t forget about in-person networking—attending local events or joining business groups can help you connect with potential clients and partners who can help spread the word.

4. Engage with Your Community

Sometimes, the best clients come from showing up and being part of your local community. Think about ways you can get involved: participate in a community fair, volunteer at local events, or even sponsor a sports team. Small contributions like these can get your name out there, boost your visibility, and make your business known as a trusted, community-oriented service. It’s a great way to build your brand and earn people’s trust.

5. Create a Facebook Business Page

Creating a Facebook business page is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get your cleaning business noticed by local clients. Setting it up is simple, and it’s a fantastic platform to showcase your work and build trust. Share client testimonials, eye-catching before-and-after photos, your best cleaning tips, and even seasonal or holiday specials. Personally, my Facebook page was a game-changer for growing my cleaning business—it helped me connect with clients quickly and build a strong local following!
