If you have a full-time day job which you want to keep but you want to make an extra income through cleaning, house cleaning may be very difficult for you. House cleaning requires daytime hours as homeowners find it inconvenient to have their houses cleaned in the presence of their children later during the day. One area of cleaning that you can do during weekends and mostly at night is office cleaning. Offices are open during daytime hours during the weekdays and are closed at night or during weekends. This will easily give you an opportunity to clean offices at night after your daytime work or during weekends when you are off from your weekdays work.

Starting an office cleaning business is very easy to do as long as you have some basic cleaning supplies and some clients, and the basic knowledge of cleaning.

Starting Your Business
Do a little research on the pricing of existing office cleaning businesses in order to find out what kind of services they offer and how much they charge for their services. From such knowledge, you can figure out what kind of cleaning services you will offer and how much you will be charging. You have to see it that the services you will offer are better than what the competitors are offering and that your rates will be competitive. You must present a schedule that will work well with your client based on their needs, like cleaning once a week, every two weeks, and so on. Prepare a written offer to your prospective client, outlining the services you will provide, the number of times per month you will come to clean, and the rate you will be charging. Make sure you have everything in writing to project a professional appearance and also to safeguard your interests because sometimes the client will demanding something that is not part of the agreement.

Do Good in Your Cleaning Job
For you to have a successful office cleaning career, every job must be done professionally and perfectly. You should not allow your client any chance to complain about the quality of your work when you do it in the highest quality possible. Introduce the use of green or environmentally friendly cleaning supplies to establish an advantage over other office cleaning companies. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising you can get for your business. Satisfied clients will tell their friends about your work and you will end up having more clients that you can handle.

Getting Licensed
Before you start operating your office cleaning business, you should get a local business license. It will be necessary also to get the required insurances to protect you and your clients' interests. You cannot get any client for your office cleaning business if you cannot show prospective clients that you have the necessary license to do business. Nobody will take the risks of hiring an unlicensed person to clean his offices.

Every journey starts with the first step so is starting a business. Once you have your first client, the next ones will start coming. Before you knew it, your office cleaning business will be in a roll.
