    About this ebook

    Clean up and Cash out: A complete guide to starting your own house-cleaning business

    This full course can be used to get people into self-employment, and can give people who look for employment in the cleaning business an advantage! See it from the perspective of an employer. If you apply for a house-cleaning job with a hotel and your résumé shows training in cleaning, then the employer will probably keep your résumé before one without any experience. Why? Because the employer can save a lot of money in training. And that is to your advantage!

    It is that simple.

    Alexandra Vogel

    Many people may ask, "Why do you have a passion for cleaning?" My response is often that I love the feeling of leaving a spotless environment for my clients where they can take a deep breath and relax.My name is Alexandra Vogel and my passion for cleaning started in Germany, my country of origin. I started my first cleaning job twenty-seven years ago when my son was three years old. I wanted to make some extra money while my son was in kindergarten, and later when he started school. A friend of mine told me that she had some clients she cleaned houses for. I liked the idea of flexible work hours, but I did not enjoy the idea of cleaning other people's homes. Still, the money was appealing to me and therefore I was torn. Eventually, I decided to begin cleaning.Cleaning was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. It became a passion of mine that has stuck with me all my life. When I moved to Canada, I worked as a housekeeper for a local hotel where I gained even more experience. A couple months later, I was promoted to the housekeeping manager.The combined knowledge and passion of cleaning private homes and hospitality is now what I want to pass on to others.

      Introduction

      Many people may ask me, Why do you have a passion for cleaning? My response is that I love the feeling of leaving a spotless environment for my clients; somewhere they can take a deep breath and relax.

      My name is Alexandra Vogel and my passion for cleaning began in Germany, my country of origin. I started my first cleaning job twenty-seven years ago when my son was three years old.

      I wanted to make some extra money while my son was in kindergarten, and continued to clean when he started school. Initially, a friend of mine told me that she had some clients she cleaned houses for. I liked the idea of flexible work hours, but I didn’t enjoy the idea of cleaning other people’s homes. Still, the money was appealing to me but I was torn. Eventually, I decided to begin cleaning and to give it a try.

      Cleaning other’s homes was not as bad as I thought it would be. It became a passion of mine that has stuck with me throughout my life. When I moved to Canada, I worked as a housekeeper for a local hotel where I gained valuable experience. A few months later, I was promoted to become the Manager of Housekeeping.

      Currently, I am back working full time as a private cleaner. My combination of knowledge and passion for cleaning and providing hospitality is what I wish to share with others, to set them on the path to a successful career in cleaning.

      Business Advantage

      This instructional guide will provide you with an advantage because I am sharing my knowledge and experience of housecleaning. The guide will help you determine how best to start your own cleaning business and find new clients, or to increase your chances in finding a job within the hospitality industry, or wherever cleaning is needed.

      Let’s assume you have already made the decision to run your own business. You are very excited to be your own boss, schedule your own time, and be able to combine work and family to everybody’s satisfaction.

      Great! Step one completed, now what? In the following sections I’ll walk you through the whole process from the beginning to the very end.

      Let’s begin!
