Industry Overview

The cleaning services industry is a $46 billion dollar industry. Current business trends show that income families will be looking to outsource and purchase these kinds of businesses.

With many businesses looking for cost reductions by outsourcing their building cleaning and maintenance responsibilities, this industry segment is expected to create the most new jobs.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in this industry is expected to grow at least as fast as the average overall employment through 2014.

Residential maid service is the highest requested service by women. The number of empty-nest households is growing and as these “middle age” households move into the 55-64 age bracket; they are driving the growth of domestic cleaning service.
