Fancy earning up to £1,000 a week? Would love to be your own boss? Dream of flexible working hours? You can have all these benefits and more if you start a window cleaning business!

Starting a window cleaning business is an excellent way to make money and maintain an flexible lifestyle. No previous experience is needed, no qualification to take and low start ups and running costs.

However there are a few tips to consider if you want to start a cleaning window service!

• Are you self-motivated? You may not have a boss nagging you everyday, but you need to be professional and committed.
• Are you physically fit? You need to be physically fit and well to work as window cleaning is a demanding job.
• Do you have access to a car? Access to a car is essential. To carry all your equipment and meet your customers.
• Are you organised? Can you be punctual and work within in a time scale.

Equipment required?

The days of climbing up a ladder and balancing your bucket is long gone. Mostly because of the new health and safety law in 2005. Today window cleaners tend to use poles known as water fed poles which are made of carbon fibre. Making life easier as they are easy and light to use.

• Invest in a bucket
• Brush and cleaning solution

How much does an window cleaner earn?

There is a lot to consider when setting a price. Do your research and you will find prices for window cleaning differ from area to area. How long will it take you to clean a house? Will you charge per window or for a whole house?

A rough guide would be around £10-£20 per hour and this is based on a standard 3 bedroom house. Expect to charge more for cleaning window panels and frames.
