How to find the cleaners for hiring

I told a friend that you required customers to maintain products in their homes, and he stated that when he had cleaners come to his apartment, they brought everything with them. He said that he had no cleaning products and would not have contracted that company if they’d required he already have the products required. Do you bring the products and leave them there yourself, or do the clients have to go out and purchase a list of products and keep them on hand? Thank you for all the info you provide!
@TheProfessionalCleaner

When I did residential I tool a kit from job to job, but the bulk of the products I required the homeowner to buy. In some cases I ensured they always had what I needed on hand, and in some cases I they took care of that well on their own. And now that we only do commercial, I require the business owner to do the same. We create a monthly order, but they pay for it. And this comes down to one simple thing: client communication. When I teach my clients WHY I prefer this, and how it makes no difference to their bottom line in the end, they are more than happy to comply. And just because 'most cleaners' take everything from job to job doesn't make it right, or wrong. Every business is different. But I am all about building the business I want to actually own and run. :-)
I only have one client and since I’m starting she is only paying me $55 once a week and that’s not a living it’s two bedroom and an office it’s pretty big but I don’t know how to get other clients and a raised

My biggest concern is how do we go about getting insurance to cover the sub-contractors in case someone get's hurt or steals from a client etc.
@TheProfessionalCleaner
3 ай бұрын
A sub is their own business owner, and therefore would need their own insurance. If you hired employees, then you would cover them under your insurance. And the laws for subs have gotten stricter so I now employ both subs and employees. Neither is right or wrong, they are different, and ultimately you need to ensure you are compliant. :-)

Yes, and Indeed does have a verification process. So make sure your business is legal first. 👍
For hiring 1099, with the new laws going in place, it states that any 1099 contractors, they must be completing work independent of what the companies described work is. How can this be worked around?
@TheProfessionalCleaner
5 ай бұрын
I can't give legal advice, so best to do your research or seek counsel on that. But I can absolutely tell you that you should be compliant in your business... so don't view it as 'working around' something but rather doing what it takes to ensure compliance. If you can use contractors then go for it. But if your biz requires W2 employees then go that route. You can build an awesome biz either way! :-)

Hello❤ in one of the steps you explained that we should find out if it’s required to be licensed or have a permit in my area… I live in Florida and it’s not required …..so does that mean I make that clear that on my business card?? Will clients look for me being licensed on my business card, even though it’s not required in my area? Thanks in advance.

Hey there, I was wondering if your business model work for Carpet Cleaning businesses
@TheProfessionalCleaner
Ай бұрын
Hi there... it's very similar. In many ways, easier. Typically carpet cleaning can be quoted by the SF, where janitorial shouldn't be. In my brief break away from cleaning I actually worked for a commercial carpet cleaning supply company. I sold Cimex's. But my program is geared more towards general janitorial, although the methods I teach for client acquisition would def work for carpet cleaning too. The biggest difference is less recurrence... meaning people usually need cleaning weekly, every other week, etc. Carpet cleaning is more like every 6 months or every year, maybe longer, depending on the case. So you'd need more clients to keep the income coming in. :-)
