Overview
What this business looks like
House cleaning is a proven, recession-resistant hustle. People always need it done, most don't enjoy doing it, and they will pay $80-200 for 2-3 hours of work. The startup cost is basically cleaning supplies you might already own. Weekly recurring clients are the goal -- 5 weekly clients at $100 each means $2,000/month from just 10-15 hours of work per week.
