Cleaning Franchise Module

Cleaning franchise companies ensure the buildings or the fabrics that they service are clean, sanitary and in good condition. Some franchises in this industry also perform restoration after disasters, or minor repairs.

The two biggest divisions of the cleaning industry are commercial cleaners (janitors) and residential cleaners (housekeepers).

Commercial cleaning franchises clean places such as offices, buildings or retail stores. Residential cleaning franchises specialize in tidying things around the home such as cleaning floors, bedrooms and bathrooms.

Another type of cleaning franchise is restoration. These franchises focus on the recovery period after an event such as a fire, flood or other natural disaster. Restoration franchises also can provide support in dealing with the aftereffects of hoarding as well as decontaminating crime scenes and places where infectious diseases were present.

The top characteristics franchisors are looking for in franchisees include:

• Strong work ethic
• Willingness to achieve
• Someone who enjoys a challenge
• Entrepreneurial spirit
• Strong leadership abilities
• The disposition to learn and be a part of a system
