Built $1.5M/Year Cleaning Business (While Working 9-5 Job)

Neel Parekh launched his cleaning business start-up MaidThis in 2013 to achieve financial independence. A decade later, it’s expanded into a national brand with an average monthly revenue of $166,000–and run as a 100% remote digital business. Learn how to start a cleaning business following Neel’s model in this UpFlip interview.

Neel’s goals when he became an entrepreneur were two-fold: to have freedom to travel and to provide financially for his parents. He experimented with a variety of side hustles when he first ventured into entrepreneurship. He’ll explain what drew him to starting a cleaning business and what he learned from those earlier ventures that helped him launch MaidThis once he found his niche.

Most people think of a cleaning company as a local business, but Neel bucked that trend by launching MaidThis with a fully-remote model. Their team is distributed across 8 countries, and he’ll explain the advantages and challenges that come along with running a remote cleaning business. He’ll also share his strategies for communicating and managing the workflow with a remote team. Building that team has brought its own challenges, and he’ll explain how the business improved their recruiting systems during Covid.

One factor that drove MaidThis’s success is that they niched down into Airbnb cleaning. They were the first Airbnb cleaning franchise in the United States, with an automated scheduling system that integrates into Vrbo and Airbnb easily. He’ll share why this is such a great niche for a cleaning business and how they developed the systems they use in the business today.
