House cleaning is one of the easiest service businesses to start. With minimal startup costs and high recurring demand, it's a reliable path to earning $40,000–$80,000+ per year.
Basic cleaning supplies (mops, vacuums, sprays, microfiber cloths) cost $200–$500 to get started. Professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly products run $500–$1,500. Most cleaners start with what they have and upgrade as they grow.
Standard cleaning: $80–$150 per visit for a 2-bedroom home. Deep cleaning: $150–$350. Move-out cleans: $200–$500. Most cleaners charge hourly ($25–$45/hr) for recurring clients or flat rates for one-time jobs.

General liability insurance is essential for cleaning businesses. A policy typically costs $400–$800/year and protects against accidental damage claims. Bonding (a surety bond) adds further protection and builds client trust.
