What It Takes To Run A Commercial Cleaning Franchise

Flexibility - Most businesses that hire commercial cleaners are open during the day and need cleaning at night when they're closed to get ready for the next business day. But there are some that have opposing hours and are open at night and closed during the day. Other businesses may require cleaning on weekends only. If you have a mix of this type of client, then a high degree of flexibility is needed.

Someone that likes to stay busy - With commercial cleaning growing at a high rate, there is plenty of business to go around. Janitorial services in 2022 have reached $81.6 billion in revenue, so owning your own franchise is a significant investment with a high reward.

Customer service skills - Being personable and enjoying interacting with people is a definite trait a business owner needs to market their services. Potential clients will be more receptive to someone who can set them at ease and make them feel like they're important, which they are.

Consistency - Doing a fantastic cleaning job time after time and never skipping over the small details shows a client that you care about and value their time and business. Clients will notice this and start recommending you to their business associates. Networking is a great way to garner more business.

Trustworthiness - When you own a commercial cleaning company, you are often tasked with cleaning offices, retail stores, clinics, etc. These buildings house expensive items and equipment, and you and your team are cleaning after hours when no one is around. Having a trusting personality will get you far in the cleaning business.

Open to new technologies - New technologies in the cleaning industry are constantly happening at a rapid pace, and new innovations are constantly emerging, such as environmentally-friendly cleaning products and high-tech floor cleaners. Keeping up with trends will keep your cleaning franchise a step ahead of the others.

Becoming a small business owner can seem daunting, but keep in mind that commercial cleaning services are an essential service. Professional offices, stores, and clinics need to be cleaned, and they will keep returning to your small business for the impeccable level of service you give them.
