Then carefully rub some salt into your block to help to draw out any moisture which may be trapped within the crevices of your butcher block.

Also to help to keep your butcher block in top notch condition carefully rub a very small layer of mineral oil into the wood upon completion of the cleaning.

Starting your own domestic cleaning business requires a lot of research and plenty of courage.

I firstly began by researching my local area looking through newspapers and phone books to determine what competition there was around, and what they charged for their services, if they were a company or an agency? In general an agency can operate with less overheads than a company so potentially they can operate more economically and offer a first class service at a cost effective price for their clientele.  Also I had to determine if I were to enter into that market place then how and where would I start? What would I charge? Where would I find clients? What about cleaners?  Whichever way I turned I seemed to be putting a barrier in the way of myself with further questions and concerns.  A problem I have always had is that I am not really a gambling type of person, I had always been used to going out doing a days/weeks work and then getting paid for it, I had to change my attitude and for once take what I thought at the time was a massive gamble, in hindsight I don’t believe that it was a gamble and I still feel that I’m not the gambling type.

I decided in the end to set myself a start date and to channel my energies towards achieving that goal. I set about creating some advertising material ready for the day that I had chosen; also I decided upon a small local market town to use as a guinea pig to learn my new trade in. I got myself insured had some contract books printed and when the day finally arrived I began walking the streets spreading the word from house to house and has they say the rest is history, I have never looked back its proved to be the best decision that I ever made for myself and my family.

When looking into buying a domestic cleaning franchise you are already top of the game.  The UK domestic cleaning industry is huge and offers up fantastic opportunities for those looking to buy into this hugely popular sector of the UK franchise industry.  With literally dozens of domestic cleaning franchises available you can be sure there is not shortage to choose from however as with all franchises the right research must be done to ensure the opportunity is the right one for you.

Before going in too heavily with research the best advice I can give is to first look at the available choices.  Buying franchise magazines and looking through Internet franchise directories, of which there are many, can give you a good idea of what is on offer.  From green cleaning through to commercial cleaning franchises and industrial cleaning franchises you will find that the choices on offer are varied and numerous.  Your first step should be to pick a half dozen or so and put some requests in to the franchisor for the free franchise packs they post out.  Once you have these you can begin to read up on the full package they have to offer and start making a short list of those which look to be of interest.

On having your short list the time has come to research each one to ensure it is not only a viable opportunity but one which will work in your local area and has a good franchise management team behind it.  Your first step should be to ask the franchisor for a list of existing franchisees and start to contact a random sample of them.  Asking the existing franchisee base some good questions will allow you to gain valuable feedback into whether the franchise opportunity hold up to what it says in the promotional materials.

Key questions you may ask are:

How did you find the initial training?

What is the ongoing support like

Do your earnings match up to those described in the franchise info pack?

How long did it take to earn back your initial investment?

Asking these will give you a great idea of how the current franchisee network is performing and whether the opportunity itself is a viable one.

Your second stage of research is to find out whether your target area is likely to be able to support the franchise you want to buy into.  If there are already several domestic cleaning franchises in close proximity to you then perhaps you would just be adding to an already saturated market.  However perhaps there is room for a domestic cleaning franchise which uses “green” products only or maybe there is a need for a wheelie bin cleaning franchise.  Doing your research into the local area and ensuring the demographics can support the cleaning franchise of your choice will mean that you do not end up with what is a good opportunity but that is just not going to work due to over saturation of the market.

Once you are sure that the franchise is a viable option, both in the franchise itself and your local area, you can begin the process of buying into the franchise.  This usually means paying a deposit and doing some intensive training to get you up to speed.  The great thing about franchising as opposed to going it alone with a stand-alone business is that you are buying into a tried and tested system.  It should all be fairly each to pick up and in many cases your franchisor even offers to gain you your first handful of clients to kick-start your business.  As such you can start earning from week one and in no time at all have a tidy little franchised business that can keep you and your family for life.

All that being said, please make sure you do not go down the route that many people do.  Jumping into a franchise head first without doing the proper research can only lead to disaster.  In many cases where someone has parted with many thousands of pounds and failed to make a success of their franchised business, it is not because of the franchise itself but because of a multitude of reasons, which could have been avoided, had the correct research been done.

The best way of cleaning your coffee maker is by mixing one part vinegar and one part water inside your coffee pot.

If your coffee maker has a large amount of mineral buildup inside it then repeat the process again if required.

Well I firmly believe that size really does matter, you do not always receive a better service from using a bigger size, sometimes a small size really does service your needs far better and is often much more conscious of your individual needs and requirements and will look after you far better.

I have found through experience that the bigger the size the more often you are left disapointed.

The smaller the size that I have gone for the more satisfied I have ultimately being.

How have you found size in your experience have you found that you have had greater satisfaction from bigger or smaller sizes?

Oh just to clarify the point, I am referring to the size of businesses and how they treat their customers.

A maidservant or in modern terms a maid is usually a female person who is employed within the domestic service industry. A maidservant was once more commonly part of a much larger more elaborate hierarchy in large houses.

In recent times the domestic cleaning maid may be the only domestic cleaner that upper and even middle-income households can afford to hire.

Maids in general can offer the household a wide range of typical domestic cleaning chores such as cooking, ironing, clothes washing, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, walking the family dog, and even taking care of the families children.
