THE RELIABLE CLEANING INDUSTRY

Most people probably don’t think to invest in the residential cleaning industry; however, it’s one that offers many benefits. The Cleaning Authority is a tested business model where our average operator generates $1.1 million* dollars in average annual revenue. This is only possible because of the high demand for our services coupled with a foundation of solid business practices.

Our residential cleaning franchise opportunity is not like any other available in the market. Our key differentiators from other maid service franchise opportunities are:

  • Trend-right environmentally friendly positioning
  • Turnkey customer acquisition strategy
  • Detailed, proven cleaning operating procedures
  • Web-based total management operating system (TCA.NET)
  • National call center to handle estimate calls and scheduling as well as existing customer inquiries
  • Standard operating procedures that target owner/operators

In addition, our franchisees aren’t buying a job, and they aren’t spending their days cleaning. That’s evident in the size of the businesses they build. In fact, compared to our competitors, our franchisees are significantly larger on average and are normally the largest house cleaning service in the market in which they operate.
