First Steps

1. Choose initial service types

2. Arrange basic supplies and hygiene gear
   Keep cleaning liquids, gloves, cloths, mops, brushes, bucket, trash bags, and any protective items ready before taking paid jobs.
3. Begin with nearby homes and known referrals
   Start in your neighborhood, apartment blocks, or through local contacts so travel time stays low and trust builds faster.
4. Set task-based pricing and timing
   Price by room count, type of cleaning, or estimated hours, and clearly confirm what is included before starting the work.

   Once quality becomes consistent, aim for repeat weekly clients, society referrals, and family-supported or helper-based expansion.
