Start Your Own Cleaning Business: Training, Skills & Earning Potential with Next Level Property Solutions

October 19, 2025•4 min read

Are you dreaming of becoming your own boss, working flexible hours, and building a business that can grow steadily year after year? The UK cleaning industry is one of the fastest-growing service sectors — and with the right training, systems, and know-how, you can turn it into a profitable career.

At Next Level Property Solutions Ltd, we’re launching a complete Cleaner Training Program, at the Next Level Training Academy, available both online and in-person in Maldon Essex, designed to help you start and grow a successful domestic or commercial cleaning business from scratch.

💡 Why Cleaning Is a Fantastic Business Opportunity

Cleaning isn’t just wiping surfaces - it’s a professional, in-demand service that powers homes, offices, schools, gyms, commercial buildings, care homes, shops, and entire industries.

Here is why now is the perfect time to get started:

Massive, growing demand: The UK cleaning industry is worth over £59 billion annually and continues to grow every year. Domestic cleaning alone accounts for over £5 billion, with thousands of homes hiring regular cleaners.
Low start-up costs: You don’t need huge investments or premises to begin. Most people start with under £500–£1,000, which covers your basic equipment, insurance, and cleaning materials.
Flexible and scalable: Start small, work around your schedule, and grow into employing staff or running multiple teams.
Recession-resistant: Homes and workplaces always need cleaning - regardless of the economy.
Instant results: You can start earning money within weeks of completing your training.

💷 How Much Can You Earn?

Earnings depend on your effort, skill level, and services offered — but here’s a realistic overview:

Domestic cleaning: £15–£25 per hour (regular cleans, end-of-tenancy, deep cleans)
Commercial cleaning: £18–£35 per hour (offices, retail, industrial units)
Specialist cleaning (builders, carpet/upholstery, windows, gutters, and introductions to biohazard and medical cleaning): £30–£60+ upwards per hour

Many self-employed cleaners earn £500–£1,000+ per week once established, and with contracts or a team, the earning potential grows rapidly.
