Need a Unique Business Idea? Start a House Cleaning Business with a Unique Twist
If you’re looking for a unique business idea whose time has arrived, you may want to consider this house cleaning business with a unique green twist.
Would you like to start your own house cleaning business? More and more people are hiring an outside service to do their home cleaning due to time constraints related to their job and family. There’s also a growing concern among the population about the effects that synthetic household cleaning chemicals can have on your health and well being.
One way to address this problem is to start an organic house cleaning business that uses all natural cleaning products. With the growing number of natural cleaning products on the market these days, it shouldn’t be difficult to find the organic cleaning products you need to service your house cleaning business accounts. If you’re not satisfied with what’s available, there are simple recipes for making your own using such common ingredients as vinegar and baking soda. Do these natural cleaning chemicals really work? In most cases they’re quite effective and have more natural scent which most people favor.
To find workers to clean the homes, hire groups of college students who are concerned with the environment. You may want to have them dress in 100% organic cotton uniforms and give them inspiring titles such as “organic cleaning consultants”. Give your business a memorable name such as “Green Clean” and brand it with an environmentally friendly logo which is prominently displayed on all of your literature.
To market your business, design a brochure which emphasizes the potential dangers of household cleaning products. Your market will primarily be white collar, younger, working men and women who have a strong interest in health and the environment. To reach this demographic group, place your brochure in doctor’s offices, in hospitals, allergy clinics, natural food grocery stores, libraries, vitamin shops, and other areas where your target audience spends time.
You can also give talks to civic groups on the danger of household chemicals and the organic alternatives available. Another effective marketing technique is to write articles about the advantages of using an organic cleaning service and publish them online and in various local print publications. Don’t forget about the potential for getting free publicity for your unique business.
With the right marketing, your organic house cleaning business can be a big success. Why not give this unique house cleaning business idea a try?

Great ideas and another winner article!
What a Great article! I would love to find a cleaning crew such as you describe. Since becoming more aware of the dangers of current cleaning products on the market I no longer buy them. I have my cupboard stacked with vinegar, baking soda, and keep lemons on hand. I have also been informed by a few good articles right here on Triond. Another reminder to stay away from harmful chemicals. Great new business idea for anyone looking to start!
If I was hiring a cleaning crew, this would be my choice. Chemicals are directly linked to so many health risks.
I have been searching for a business to start and my daughter sugessted a \”Green\” housekeeping venture. I live in semi rural area but I do see a real need for this service. But I have no idea how to go about this! If any one can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate any advice. Jann W.
