CLEANING
Clean houses or business premises
Clean blinds or curtains. Both of these can be very successful, particularly if you have the space to take them home to be cleaned. A drop off or pick up service could be offered. Full service including re-installation would also bring in additional income.
Clean windows
Clean and valet cars, boats, motorbikes, caravans, camper vans, RV's
Laundry service; washing, drying, folding, ironing clothes and linen for individuals and families, or businesses such as hairdressers or child care centers
Spring Cleaning Service - most people either hate doing a spring clean, or they just never seem to get around to it. You could offer a full service where you come in and get it done for them, or perhaps a partnership service where you come in, organize the job and work with them (it is always easier when there is more than one of you). |
