How To Boost Your Janitor Service Business Income

There are several useful services that your janitor service business could offer your current customers.  These services will not only benefit your customers, but also increase your employees’ productivity, and your bottom line. Some of the janitor services that your company can choose to offer, should include window cleaning and professional carpet cleaning. As far as businesses go, these are not very expensive to start. In addition, they will help keep your employees busy and help you make more money.

Starting a carpet cleaning business is fairly easy.  When you first begin, you will probably just want to buy a used orderable carpet cleaner. Make sure you get one that has attachments for cleaning tricks and upholstery because you may be able to add these services later on. Carpet cleaning is done in most businesses on a quarterly basis. In some businesses it is done every month. You can charge between five and $.15 per square foot for cleaning carpet. If you have 5000 ft.² in a building, you could charge up to $1000 extra just for cleaning out the carpets. If you are going to do this, you should also get some high volume chance to help the carpets air out. This way you do not have mold and mildew problems inside of the building.

Another type of janitor service that you can add to your business which you may not currently be doing is professional window cleaning. This is a relatively easy business to do, and the start-up for it is super cheap.  All you really need are a few wet squeegees, dry squeegees, extension poles, razor blades, and some clean rags. You can train an employee to professionally clean windows either by watching YouTube, or by training them yourself.  Either way, they should know what they’re doing in less than a day.
