In business the many different ways of making money are called “income streams.” That’s because money “streams” in from difference sources (ways). The main “way” or income stream into your White Glove business is from regularly scheduled cleanings (see right column above). Here are other ways to make money from services customers often want:

• Custom Cleaning is what White Glove calls extra services at extra cost that customers may want included in their basic home cleaning. This includes polishing, vacuuming furniture, treating leather chairs and couches, and more. (See White Glove’s Website for more Custom Cleaning options.)

• Odd Job Cleaning is what White Glove calls occasional tasks that customers want from time to time. These include cleaning insides of ovens and refrigerators, washing walls, cabinets polished, blinds hand cleaned, curtains vacuumed, etc. (See White Glove’s Website for more Odd Job Cleaning options.)

• Deep Cleaning refers to a deeper, more thorough detailed cleaning of entire rooms in which furniture is moved things and places are cleaned that are not during regular cleanings. (See White Glove’s Website to learn more about deep cleaning.)

• Move-In/Move-Out cleaning is a special thorough cleaning of homes just after someone has move out, or is about to move in. (See White Glove’s Website to learn more Move-In/Move-Out services.)

Dont' Forget Supplementary Services, Too

Then there are what we call “supplementary” services that White Glove business owners may want to learn and offer their customers. These include window washing, carpet and upholstery cleaning, and tile and grout cleaning.

There are lots of ways you can “stream” money into your profitable White Glove business.

A White Glove cleaning business is “profit intensive,” meaning it makes good profit—more than most other service businesses. “Profit” is the money that is left over after paying all the expenses of running a business. These expenses include paying your help, cost of equipment, cost of supplies, transportation, etc.

Not only are the costs of running your White Glove cleaning business low, but many other advantages help you maximize the money you can make:

• No office necessary.  This is a home-based business.  Only minimal storage space is required for equipment and supplies. Work out of your garage.

• No expensive, specialized equipment.  Only inexpensive equipment and cleaning agents are required besides vacuum cleaners, and a vehicle that you probably already have.

• No costly inventory.  Supplies can be purchased only as needed without the need to purchase and maintain an extensive inventory.

• Can be entirely owner-operated.  Most of the work can easily be done by the owner. Some technical and administrative work is provided by White Glove leaving you time to make money.

• No land-line business telephone required.  A cell phone used for the business is the only telephone that is required.

• Non-strenuous work.  Though it is indeed work, the work is varied and not strenuous.  You may even find the work stress-relieving since there are no pressures, no responsibilities once the work is finished, and no bosses monitoring your every move.
