How to make $1,000 a Week Part-Time with a House Cleaning Business

Let’s be clear:

$1,000/week cleaning part-time isn’t a dream — it’s math.
You don’t need a team. You don’t need a logo. You don’t need to hustle ‘til you hate it.

But here’s what you do need:
To stop treating it like a side gig — and start building it like a real business.

I built a six-figure cleaning business working part-time hours (8 AM to 2 PM), and I still had time to ride horses and enjoy my life. That balance is possible — but only when your business has structure.

Let’s break down what that looks like 👇

📊 The Simple Math of $1,000 Weeks:

• 1 house/day at $200 = $1,000/week

• 2 houses/day at $100 = $1,000/week
  
  

💡 And $200 isn’t a fantasy — many solo cleaners charge $180–$250 per home when their business is set up right.

So yes — $1,000/week part-time is not only doable... it’s common when you’ve got the right systems in place.

🛑 Why Most Cleaners Never Get There

They undercharge.
They guess.
They rely on hustle instead of a plan.

And then they wonder why they’re exhausted, booked out, and still broke.

What separates the pros from the ones who burn out? Systems.

💡 What You Actually Need to Hit $1,000/Week

You don’t need to work more — you need to run tighter.

Here’s what moves the needle:

• Clear policies that set boundaries and eliminate time-wasters

• Cleaning checklists that show value and streamline every job

• A simple pricing structure that removes the awkward guesswork

• A routine that keeps your quality high and your time efficient

• Service agreements that say, “This is how I run my business” — not “hope this works”
