Britain is no longer a nation that has time to clean up after themselves – certainly not in the home. The demand for domestic cleaners is on the rise and the domestic cleaning industry is projected to grow over the next 10 years. Many people are working longer hours and are trying to manage responsibilities such as children, an ageing parent or academic commitments. It is widely accepted that domestic cleaners, along with gardeners, dog walkers and other home help services, increase our quality of life. After a long day at work, most people would priortise spending time with their loved ones over catching up on the housework. The domestic cleaning franchise industry has grown significantly due to the fact that there is an increased number of men and women who need to work flexible hours. Running a domestic cleaning franchise means you can offer staff the healthy work-life balance that they need, as well as helping your busy clients to manage their home. Many domestic cleaning franchises can be managed on a part time basis and even managed from home, if needed. What could be better?
