1. Basic House Cleaning: A service that involves general house cleaning jobs. Your list of house cleaning services can include areas like the kitchen, lounge, bathroom, and bedroom. Tasks include mopping, vacuuming, dusting, polishing, sweeping. For more examples of general home cleaning tasks, visit Out of Sight Residential Cleaning’s services page.
2. Deep Cleaning/Spring Cleaning: This is a more comprehensive clean than a basic clean. It will include hand washing cabinets, vacuuming upholstery, polishing wood, cleaning the oven, ceiling fan blades and more. Recommend a deep clean to a client who hasn’t had their home professionally cleaned in a while. For a complete list of deep cleaning tasks, see My Amazing Maid’s cleaning services page.
3. Laundry Services: Wash, dry, and fold clothes while cleaning the homeowner’s house.
4. Green Cleaning: involves following eco-friendly cleaning practices such as using products that are non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for you and the environment. This is a service on its own, but also a way to differentiate yourself from the competition.
5. Sanitization Services: The sanitizing of homes and office spaces is currently in high demand. Squeaky Clean House is one example of a cleaning business offering this type of service.
6. Ceiling and Wall Cleaning: Ceiling and wall cleaning may be part of a general house cleaning or office cleaning service provided by some businesses, but it’s also a specialty service. With this service, you remove dirt, oil, and other grime on walls and ceilings for cleanliness, better lighting, and health reasons.
7. Blind Cleaning: Blinds in homes, whether aluminum or PVC Venetian blinds or wooden blinds, attract dust, so there is a real need for this specialty cleaning service. Just make sure you use the right equipment and become comfortable taking down and rehanging them.
8. Curtain Cleaning: Curtain cleaning services can include both on and off-site cleaning methods. The on-site process involves dry cleaning. It is generally recommended because it’s more convenient for the client (curtains aren’t taken down and rehung), gentler on the fabric, and provides a superior clean.
9. Carpet Cleaning: Typical carpet cleaning services include steam cleaning, carpet repairs, and stain and odor removal, to name just a few types of cleaning. In housekeeping, this can be especially important.
10. Upholstery Cleaning: Another specialty service that involves cleaning fabric on furniture (sofas and armchairs). The material is typically pre-treated and then rinsed with water.
11. Chimney Sweeping: Chimney sweep services include remodels, inspections, fireplace cleaning, chimney relining, repairs, and yes—you guessed it—chimney sweeping to prevent soot build-up, which is a fire hazard.
12. Office Cleaning: These types of commercial cleaning services involve cleaning work areas, common areas, cubicles, restrooms, kitchens, and reception areas. Tasks will include mopping, dusting, polishing, sanitizing, and waste removal. For more examples of cleaning tasks, visit the Maid Sailors Office Cleaning page.
13. Disaster Cleaning and Restoration: Technically, many cleaning businesses can offer this service, including carpet cleaners and chimney sweeps. But it does require specialized expertise in smoke, water and fire damage, and even mold remediation.
14. Window Cleaning: Your core business is cleaning interior and exterior windows for clients. Some business owners, like Dave Moerman of Revive Washing, include extra add-on cleaning services like gutter cleaning, screen repairs, and pressure washing (discussed later) for additional revenue during slower periods.
15. Pressure Washing: Here you use a jet washer to deliver a powerful water stream to remove dirt and clean surfaces. Pressure washing businesses often perform specific jobs such as paint removal, restoration, maintenance. They can also offer add-on services like window, gutter, and roof cleaning.
16. Restroom Cleaning: Cleaning restrooms may be part of office and home cleaning, but it’s also a high-demand standalone commercial service. Stadiums, schools, one-off events, and open public spaces can all benefit from this service.
17. Janitorial Services: These services generally cover the ongoing maintenance and cleaning of schools, businesses, and large office spaces. If you’re providing this service, you’ll have to concentrate on building a team of professional, efficient janitors. Typical duties include mopping, sweeping, and taking out the trash and general building maintenance like changing light bulbs and fixing broken doors.
18. School Cleaning: Cleaning services offered to private and public schools, including cleaning floors, classrooms, desks, tables, and bathrooms.
19. Medical Cleaning: Because these clinics and hospitals have high standards when it comes to cleanliness, medical cleaning is highly specialized. You need to use the right cleaning supplies and equipment for these types of commercial cleaning services, and abide by the demanding cleaning practices. An example of a company that offers medical cleaning is CleanService.
20. Sports Cleaning: Cleaning services offered to sports facilities such as gyms. Because these areas are a breeding ground for bacteria and the spreading of germs, they’re an ideal market for cleaning services. Common cleaning tasks include cleaning and sanitizing all equipment, surfaces, and floors.
