Why join the Window Cleaning Industry?

Everything needs to be cleaned
Within the cleaning industry, there is fierce competition. More than 50 franchise brands offer office cleaning, home cleaning or carpet cleaning. About the only segment of the popular cleaning industry that isn’t crowded with franchise systems is residential window cleaning.

A Healthy and growing industry
Windows, decks, gutters and sidewalks get dirty no matter what the economy does. People who value a clean home continue to spend on maintaining and caring for their largest investment. Because of this, window cleaning can be a highly recession-resistant industry that can’t be outsourced overseas and won’t fall victim to automation

More time for everyone
The window cleaning, window tinting and pressure washing industry offers other advantages. Unlike commercial janitorial and carpet cleaning franchises that require evening and weekend work, residential cleaning is typically performed Monday through Friday, 9 to 5.

Becoming a Window Cleaning Expert
We are looking for hardworking, self-motivated and reliable individuals to join our team. Window cleaning is a physical labor job that requires a lot of detail and technical skill. We need you to help us shine!
