However, there are many areas still available, according to Merry Maids sales director Ken Dennis.

The company believes that its formula for success starts with hiring the right cleaners. Merry Maids uses psychometric testing systems to find the best people, and then takes them through a rigorous training and induction programme.

In a team of two, one cleaner is trained to do the wet rooms and one to do the dry rooms, ensuing maximum cleaning efficiency. They take their own equipment to people’s homes; everything is health and safety approved and all vacuums are hypoallergenic.

Paying a higher than average wage plus bonuses for quality cleans, good attendance and long service incentivises them further by allowing them to boost their income.

This is only the start. To find out more about the Merry Maids professional home cleaning franchise system and how it has been developed over the past 20 years, give them a call.
