Why Home Cleaning?

Business as Lifestyle


Striking the balance between work and, well, everything else isn’t easy. It’s either the corporate life of 24/7 or industries that eat up nights and weekends, making vacations—if you get one—hardly relaxing. You’re just trying to recover. So imagine a business, your own business, that gives you a normal workday, that lets you take actual time off and enjoy your life, to travel and really live. A home cleaning franchise does just that.

I have a great work-life balance with my two daughters, and really love my family time on weekends.

Benefits of the Home Cleaning Industry

How does home cleaning offer so much flexibility and freedom? It's a combination of the industry, the type of service, and the way we structure business operations.


Steady, recurring revenue

Most of our customers have their home cleaned every week or twice a month, all year long. This provides a very steady revenue stream which reduces worry and allows better planning.

No inventory or perishable food.

In the home cleaning business, you never have to deal with stocking inventory or keeping food from going bad. Not only do you have less overhead, you have less stress and less work.

Free nights, weekends? Yes, please!

Unlike other service franchises, this is a business for people who want to have free time and enjoy it with family, friends, or just by themselves.

Affordable start-up costs

Compared to other industries, a house cleaning business is a downright deal. Similar income potential at a fraction of the cost.

Low Competitive Risk

Unlike a retail or food business, a competitor opening next door won't affect your business. You go to your customers, and that personal relationship inspires trust.

A product always in demand -- Time

Time is really what you’ll be providing your customers. Your service will free people to pursue what they want. And more free time will never go out of fashion.

No Fads. No Gimmicks. Just Growth.


Fads come and go. That hot food franchise or fitness craze won't be so hot in a few years. What hasn't changed in decades is the chore of cleaning your home. The average family spends almost ten hours each week cleaning—most of that time is stolen from weekends. As our lives continue to become busier and busier, time is a commodity for which people are willing to pay. You can see, then, why the home cleaning industry is booming.

30 Billion Dollars*

The market for home cleaning is massive. Couple that with MaidPro's proven systems and success is really only a question of your own hard work and dedication to the business.

33% Growth by 2025*

The market for home cleaning franchise services is still largely untapped, leaving considerable opportunity for entrepreneurs to be part of this growing market.

* According to a 2021 report from Statista, a market data firm.

I see opportunities everywhere and plan to open up more locations in different parts of the country.
