Clean homes on a weekly or biweekly schedule for busy families. You need basic supplies — vacuum, mop, rags, and all-purpose cleaner. Charge $25-40 per hour or flat rates per room. Most clients book 2-4 hour cleans. With just 3 regular weekly clients, you earn $400-600 per month for work that fits easily around any schedule. Recurring clients mean predictable income.
🚀 First Step
Gather cleaning supplies you already own, take before-and-after photos of your own home, and post on Nextdoor offering weekly house cleaning starting at $30/hour.
  • Start with your own home as your portfolio — before-and-after photos sell the service
  • Charge by the room initially until you learn how long each home takes you
  • Always do a walkthrough with the client before starting to agree on exactly what gets cleaned
