How does a cleaning business make money?

Cleaning companies charge per visit, per hour or per square foot, often on recurring weekly or monthly schedules. Residential work is homes; commercial or janitorial work is offices and buildings under contract. Profit depends on pricing that covers wages, travel, supplies and insurance.

How do I use these videos to learn bidding and pricing?

Set an A–B loop on the part of a bidding video where the formula is worked through, slow it to 0.75×, and copy each step onto paper. Save the key chapters to number keys 1–9 so you can jump back to them later.
