You have decided you want to start a house cleaning business and clean homes professionally. Cleaning your own home and cleaning someone else's home professionally is totally different.

You have to be very thorough when cleaning professionally. Clients are paying you for a service and they expect and deserve top notch cleaning. It takes quite awhile to learn how to clean a home professionally.

The best thing to do when starting out is ask some friends and family members if you can clean their homes for free or at a discounted rate. I know the thought of cleaning for free is not appealing but you will not only gain much needed experience but you will get some good testimonials and references (which you will need when you obtain those first clients).

When first starting out don't worry about how long it takes to clean a home. Always do a thorough cleaning. After you have been cleaning for awhile you will become more efficient and will be able to do a through cleaning in a lot less time.

Make sure you have all the supplies and equipment needed before you start.

Supply List:

window cleaner

furniture polish

clorox soft scrub with bleach

anti-bacterial cleaner

sos pads

stainless steel cleaner

wood floor cleaner

bathroom cleaner

mops

broom/dustpan

supply caddy

dust mop
