Customer Reviews

Good, clear, concise instructions
Since buying this book I have started my own cleaning company which after 6 months is still growing steadily. I found Susan's book very helpful in setting up the company, particularly the pre-formatted forms for everything from pricing individual jobs to employee training certificates (a CD Rom with the typed forms is included). This book will help you if you want to work on your own or if you intend to hire staff. The only limitation was that it was Canadian based, although the adivce could be applied to any country.

It assumes you have no previous business experience and supplies all the basic marketing and business process information. Although I do have previous experience I still found the book invaluable in the creation of a dedicated cleaning company. I found it especially helpful in the area of price setting and cleaning fundamentals, including tips on actual cleaning methodology.

Susan takes you from 'What do you actually want from a Cleaning Business' through 'Cleaning Techniques' to 'Customer Servicing'. A good all round support book.

Start & Run a Home Cleaning Business
I am shortly opening a Cleaning Business and have been busy doing all the groundwork first.
This book is simply brilliant. It covers all areas and some you would never have thought of if you havent run a business before.
It took me ages to read as at each chapter I felt compelled to put into practice what was being taught. It also meant that when I had to complete a Business Plan, I was able to do so thanks to this book. It also has a master Cash Flow Forcast on the CD which seemed complicated at first but really wasnt and put in black and white it showed how potentially successful my company should be!
Also when I went to my local Chamber of Commerce for business support, they were really impressed at how much work I had done.
The forms on the disc are for the most part very helpful. I have been able to alter them where necessary to meet my requirements.
Well worth buying.
