I started a cleaning company with a Shark vacuum and microfiber rags, exactly like he said. I’ve made more in my first month than I ever did in sales. Just do it!
i was working 60 hours a week 5 days a week for "the man" then went into mowing and cleaning on my weekends - as word of mouth spread and jobs my phone became more important than my 60 hour a week job, i made the full time switch and never looked back. i love seeing vids like this !
Im planning on doing a residential cleaning bizz. I currently work as a facility maintenance and already have to cleaning know how and tired of working for people

@@UpFlip 👋 everything is going well. 1 month in and I'm loving it. I have 3 offices im currently doing on my own. I forgot mention I started in commercial cleaning. (For Now) Im not going to add more work on top of what I have now until I get the hang of things. Im still learning how things work, products to use etc. Ive had alot of set backs because I didn't get the right products for certain things but I'm slowly getting there.
Great videos, I have a potential client at my condo complex. I do the cleaning behind the lady who does it one time a day, and residents want me to take over. Our building has 75 units and I already bought all the supplies. I'm ready to move forward by taking over the contract.
@@UpFlip some, what. I do have a idea of how much I want to start with 500-1000 and then a list of supplies and sketches for a buisness card I'm going to make a yelp and Google page & if I can get 1 customer a week I would be happy , thanks for the comment 😀
I'm getting my business license this week. And I'm starting my company this month. I'm currently working so I will do it on the weekends. Me and my wife Is very excited. I do pest control so I touch alot of people a day. And I know the person in my city who own all the air bnbs and I'm connected with a guy who make 500,000 a year. That's in the same field that I'm trying to go in. He is my mentor. He is even giving me contracts to start me off.
This was the first interview I saw a few days ago and I haven't stop watching and share. I loved this episode because Austin was so transparent about his business, you can give people all your numbers but if they don't do the work, it won't be of any use. I would love to connect with Austin as o have 30 pus years of experience in the cleaning business if he needs my tips.
Long story short, my boss told me after 12 years of working 80 hr shifts and running 2 departments single-handedly that i just wasnt working hard enough. He changed me from salery to 100% commission. I walked and so did my entire department. Now im trying to start my own cleaning business. Havent gotten any customers yet but ive only just got licensed. I dont have much funds but any tips would be appreciated.
$120 for a deep cleaning? For How many hours and how much does he pay to his workers? Hard to believe that this workers can make a good check out of this prices.
Yeah I could see him doing 1 cleaner. Because realistically if it is a 1-2 bedroom apartment in Seattle they should be able to get it done relatively fast to where they could do multiple a day depending on how hard they want to work.
Slave labor i think he cares less about supporting his employees long as his brand reach status quo. If you not getting into the cleaning business to be your own boss don't get into it unless you like making $10 a hr.
Love these guys Q and A im considering something like this for starters his confidence and experience shows looking forward to hearing more its truly levels to any start ups I believe God bless
I dig the content, and I’m generally a positive person so don’t take this the wrong way BUT - some of the numbers thrown around don’t add up. It’s extremely difficult if not impossible to yield almost a million dollars in revenue in one year on 2k a month in advertising. Most companies allocate 10-15% of their gross revenues to advertising and marketing. Start ups can go even twice that. Also his sub contractors are definitely not well paid considering his pricing.
Thank you so much for posting. I would love to see more content about his business. Could we possibly get day in the life pov? I would love to see that and see what really goes into having such a successful business!!
@upflip How is it possible to make $70 “average on each job” see time 8:31 yet he says he only charges $120 for a 3-hr deep clean when his competitors charge $300 (see 1:40)…. The numbers just don’t make any sense if you want to pay employees well and undercut your competitor.. and make money as a business……. Someone please explain what I’m not understanding……
If he pays employees $15/hour then that is $45. Cleaning supplies usage is probably ~$5. $120 - $50 = $70. These numbers work if they are primarily cleaning apartments. Probably wouldn't be that good for house cleaning.
It is never an easy process to find great employees. The key is to keep trying and keep learning. What major job recruitment sites have you tried so far?
Did the owner mention whether he uses independent contractors or employees during the conversation? I know he speaks about a fixed percentage. So does he pay his employees a fixed percentage of the job instead of hourly, or does he pay his IC a fixed percentage? I wish you guys spoke about this more as labor is THY most challenging part of this business.
@@kenlovelessjr1 Agreed. It's hard to see how they're charging 60% less than competitors, and paying their cleaners much better than the competition, and still making a 45% profit margin.
My only question is what about his margins, if he's the cheapest he'll have the most clients but lowest margins vs someone with less clients but who charges more. I'd rather have half the clients with 30% margins than double the clients with 10% margins. If he's making he could make 30,000/month with 30% margins and make $9,000 or 60,000/month with 10% margins and make 6,000/month. So how do his margins compare to his competition?
I am trying to start a cleaning business. Something I always wanted to do. Any advice on how to be more confident when doing customer interactions and how actually get customers to leave reviews I am already offering discounts
First time interacting with them tell them your #1 goal is to get a 5 star review from the job you provide. After the work is complete. Send them a direct link. Also don't forget to get an email from them, so you can remind them after a few days

Another amazing epizode! :) I'm really curious, how much the cleaners can make per hour. When for the 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms apt the Spruse charge $130 before tax. How much are the cleaning supplies and then hourly wage and then profit for the company. Gave they any breakdown on that, please? Thanks!
Good question Lukas and we will try to include this in future cleaning episodes! You will also want to check out our cleaning blog which has a lot of amazing and valuable information on the industry as well.
I started with pet sitting when i list my job the incorporated free house cleaning when i pet sit at there home from there i got reaccurring cleaning clients i dont want a large business but now i have enough clients to work 2 days a week cleaning and 2 weeks pet sitting and the rest of the time im free to do what i want. Noe i love my job and wont work a day for the rest of my life.
All his jobs MUST be done with 1 cleaner because otherwise, his numbers make no sense at all. $120 for 3 hours is $40 per hour. 1/2 of that goes to the cleaner and the rest is profit. I assume they only clean apartments to make it work.
These prices, even the value $120 for three hours areway more than in the UK. A single cleaner in a very wealthy area in the North West would be lucky to charge more than $20 per hour.
Thank you so much for a great video, it was very helpful. I just have a one question, I would be very grateful if you can answer. I'm also started a cleaning company and I don't now what scheduling system to choose. Do you know what system do they use for booking, registering customer, sending schedule to employees...? Or can you recommend a good one? Thanks
I'm also very interested in hearing how he schedules the employees. And what about hiring staff around the state, do you just make a bunch of Craigslist and indeed ads? Do you need to train them on how to clean up to your standard? Do you pay for the employees to get the cleaning supplies or do you mail them all the equipment necessary?
I got a decent understanding of LBO and private company valuations through my job o Wall street. Big problem #1... The cleaning service business he runs will push most (not all) investors away. Paying a $10m price tag that does $450K per year?? it's insane. The average price tag is about 7X a firm's net income. The average software company sells for 12-18X their revenues. To put this into perspective... He is asking 10X their revenues!!! So he is basically saying the company has the growth prospect that of a software company? .. The actual worth it about $5M flat.
my thoughts exactly. investors won't pay more than 2-3x EBITDA for a service based business like this. maybe a little more since there's a product line
I always wonder how these types of service business prevents customers to hook up directly with their staff, to save money. Ie if the customer pay $40/hr to the form and the cleaner get paid $20/hr, what about $30/hr to the cleaner directly?
I guess that would be shortsighted from the cleaner. The company provides them with customers, marketing, cleaning tools, they do the billing, accounting and so on... If you dont wanna care about that all (and honestly many people are just to lazy/dumb to maintain a company), you are good with a employee situation.
120 for 3 hrs that's unbelievable I need more information as to how that is possible I wouldn't even get out of bed for that. But he did say "you can only get so big" yeah because you can't grow at that price you're basically dying. The Margins must be crazy big on the products side to survive. Idk 120 C'mon maaaannn. It seems the game plan for this business was to undercut the market build a hugggge client list and the make the money on the selling of the business.
This is great but it needs to breakdown how he goes from doing one person operation to 450customers a week. That’s the gap I would love to understand more
@@corinthiansanders9526 yeah I’ve had my cleaning business going for almost a year now and I’m doing great. Videos like these are always helpful also! Anything is. Continue learning everyday , but yeah I can appreciate what he does and of course put 2+2 together. He hires people and takes on more. But I like to get specifics so I can understand and then be understood 🙏 Stay Blessed all!
@@hectorserrano1362 I’m not in the house cleaning business myself but I am a in the pool service business. Sometimes I like to listen to others even in other industries. I can understand where he comes from if the numbers work out but at the same time usually cheap service is cheap quality. I can appreciate his view though. Keeping 45% or whatever it was of hundreds of thousands vs keeping 100% of 100K 🤔
Hello novice09. Thanks for watching! Yes, they do. Hiring good staff is very important. While some staff is referred, they have to do the standard search and job description for others. Would you ever consider getting into this industry?
@@UpFlip Thank you. These videos have certain help get more perspective and being a service industry staffing right would be the single most important element to rendering white glove experience to customers

How is it possible to make $70 “average on each job” see time 8:31 yet he says he only charges $120 for a 3-hr deep clean when his competitors charge $300 (see 1:40)…. The numbers just don’t make any sense if you want to pay employees well and undercut your competitor.. and make money as a business……. Someone please explain what I’m not understanding……
Yeah, general rule of thumb for buying a business is making your money back in five years. He should be asking for half of what he is asking. I feel like he was basing his price on projected sales, but nobody cares about that. They want to see the cold hard cash.
Greetings, I am interested in buying his business, I wrote to their's email, but no one responding, could you please give me an advise what to do in my situation?
@@UpFlip A deep clean would take longer so I would think it would be more. Maybe I am not understanding something here, but if $120 is charged and 45% of that is profit, the remaining amount is not much considering the job is deep cleaning
None of his numbers he's throwing out jive. 1000 reoccurring clients per month? With a staff of 20? With revenue of $1M? Even if these were just ALL monthly visits (most people like 2 times month)... That's just $83 in gross revenue per recurring customer per month. You can't book an appointment for the smallest APARTMENT for that much. And that does not include NEW business which he says is 60% of his revenue. He blurted out at $10M valuation? LOL. I hate to be a hater, but please. Any person who actually runs a business can pick off these fake claims. As someone who is investigating starting a cleaning business (after running several other types) this video just throws me off track.

"Charge $120 for an appointment in Seattle, and we still pay our cleaner "very well""
Hmmmmm! Interesting 🤔
What web service should i use to send potential clients to. So they can book appointments.
Do they cover hiring in any of the parts? I am sure hiring cleaning staff is big part of the success. How did they go about doing that?
Hello novice09. Thanks for watching! Yes, they do. Hiring good staff is very important. While some staff is referred, they have to do the standard search and job description for others. Would you ever consider getting into this industry?
@@UpFlip Thank you. These videos have certain help get more perspective and being a service industry staffing right would be the single most important element to rendering white glove experience to customers
He should go on Shark Tank!
Have you checked out our recent Shark Tank videos Brady?
The host puts his foot in his mouth sometimes
Host: “A pretty simple bottle but it’s what’s inside that’s what’s important”
Business Owner: “That’s everything we’ve learned about cleaning effectively in a bottle”
🤣
Does he make 750,000 a year before or after expenses ? I want to know his personal profits
What would you charge an apartment complex if your cleaning there elevators and hallways?
How can you ensure potential customers of the quality and security of your business for the price that you offer the cleaning?
How is it possible to make $70 “average on each job” see time 8:31 yet he says he only charges $120 for a 3-hr deep clean when his competitors charge $300 (see 1:40)…. The numbers just don’t make any sense if you want to pay employees well and undercut your competitor.. and make money as a business……. Someone please explain what I’m not understanding……
i wish u luck bro in
he is the FRANK LUCAS of the cleaning business
Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!
Im doing this
Go for it!!
It rains 300 days a year in the PNW

Who are the best people to call to win contacts from?
to win clients?
$10 million for a company that does not even a $1 million in sales? Also with only 30% recurring clientele? Good luck selling that!
Good point. The numbers are probably negotiable also.
What's the name of the book he recommended
If the business is collecting customer data. What is their expense in cyber insurance?
Most hosting providers for websites have great security measures so I'm sure they have a good system setup.
Do u ever travel outside of the state
Are the cleaners independent contractors or employees?
They are employees. Thanks for watching! ☺️
"How did you get started?" " I got hooked up..." aahh so he didn't start it from the bottom...
Do you need a certificate course? If so, any suggestions. I tried calling merry maid and molly maid but no response.
You do not need any certified training to become a regular house cleaner.
How could I get onto this guy?
Try reaching to him through social media.
Has anyone found the book he mentioned? The Blue Knight or The Blue Ribbon, sounds like a tale id like to get told lmao
Not yet Kevin but let us know if you track them down.
@@UpFlip Maybe he meant "Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike Phil Knight"
How can you charge 120 for 3 hours of work when cleaners are getting paid 20 an hour
Their website does not work
10 million dollar ask on a million in sales 😂.
Yeah, general rule of thumb for buying a business is making your money back in five years. He should be asking for half of what he is asking. I feel like he was basing his price on projected sales, but nobody cares about that. They want to see the cold hard cash.
How did he get so many cleaners in such little tome
Try reaching out to the business for that answer.
Greetings, I am interested in buying his business, I wrote to their's email, but no one responding, could you please give me an advise what to do in my situation?
There is a phone number, try calling it and ask to speak to Austin.
@@UpFlip thank you very much
How can you charge 120 for a deep clean and yet make 45% profit?
This is for one service Pa Fish. Do you feel it should be more or less?
@@UpFlip A deep clean would take longer so I would think it would be more. Maybe I am not understanding something here, but if $120 is charged and 45% of that is profit, the remaining amount is not much considering the job is deep cleaning
He pays the staff minimum wage
@@rossisaacs4604 even so
How does he want 5 stars but asks for 3 from his customer?
Where can you buy your product?

None of his numbers he's throwing out jive. 1000 reoccurring clients per month? With a staff of 20? With revenue of $1M? Even if these were just ALL monthly visits (most people like 2 times month)... That's just $83 in gross revenue per recurring customer per month. You can't book an appointment for the smallest APARTMENT for that much. And that does not include NEW business which he says is 60% of his revenue.
He blurted out at $10M valuation? LOL. I hate to be a hater, but please. Any person who actually runs a business can pick off these fake claims. As someone who is investigating starting a cleaning business (after running several other types) this video just throws me off track.
Sorry homie I’m getting my Llc and equipment in the upcoming days you are NOT taking over the east coast I AM.
We wish you the best with your business Mandi!
