Owning a business isn’t just about numbers. It’s about building something that matters in your neighborhood. If you’re searching for a home services franchise that allows you to make a real impact while earning a solid living, investing with The Maids® could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Starting a house cleaning business from scratch can be tough. You’d need to create a brand, develop cleaning methods, hire and train a team, and figure out how to attract customers. It’s a lot to handle—especially when you’re trying to stand out in a crowded market.
With The Maids, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Since 1979, we’ve been perfecting a system designed for potential franchisees like you who want to own a business and make a difference. You get ready-made processes, training, and brand recognition on day one. That means you can focus on leading your team and serving customers instead of building every piece from the ground up.


The Maids is a trusted national brand. Homeowners already know the name and associate it with high standards and healthier cleaning. That kind of trust is hard to build on your own.

Today’s customers want more than a surface-level clean—they care about the air they breathe and the spaces they live in. With The Maids’ 22-Step Cleaning Process and advanced vacuums featuring HEPA filtration that captures up to 99% of dust and allergens, you’ll offer a healthier, deeper clean that truly stands out. It’s a difference your clients will see—and feel—from day one.

When you join The Maids, you receive hands-on training that covers everything from marketing and hiring to operations and scheduling. You’re in business for yourself but never by yourself.

This is a people-first business. You’ll hire local staff, serve neighbors, and build a reputation that spreads by word of mouth. Many franchisees say the relationships they create are just as rewarding as the revenue.

Busy families, professionals, and retirees all require dependable cleaning services. Demand continues to grow as schedules get tighter and health remains a top priority.
The Maids franchise is more than a cleaning service. It’s a full home services business built on quality and consistency.

While The Maids doesn’t provide in-house financing, we’re committed to guiding you through every step of the investment process. Our team offers clear, upfront details so you understand exactly what to expect before opening your doors, and we’ll help you explore and apply for third-party funding options to make getting started easier.

Four-person crews follow a proven 22-Step Cleaning Process to deliver a deep, reliable clean every time.

Homes shine and feel fresh with solutions that avoid harsh chemicals while still cleaning effectively.

If a customer isn’t happy, the team returns within 24 hours to make it right—no extra charge.

Built-in tools help you attract customers online and manage day-to-day operations with ease.

Start by contacting our franchise development team. We’ll share details about available territories and answer your first questions. This initial conversation also helps you understand how we guide new owners from day one, so you know exactly what support to expect.
Complete a simple application so the team can learn more about your background and goals. No cleaning industry experience is required—leadership and drive matter most. The application also helps us confirm that our business model matches your vision for ownership.
Next, you’ll receive the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). This outlines every cost, responsibility, and expectation so you can make an informed decision. We encourage you to review it carefully with a financial advisor or attorney so you feel confident about the details before moving forward.
Visit headquarters or meet virtually with the leadership team. This is your chance to see the culture firsthand, ask deeper questions, and confirm that it’s a good fit for you. You’ll also have the chance to talk with current franchise owners and hear directly about their experiences with us.
Once you decide to move forward, you’ll sign the agreement and begin comprehensive training. You’ll learn everything from hiring and scheduling to marketing and the 22-Step Cleaning Process. Our training is designed to give you the confidence you need, so you can open your doors feeling prepared and supported.
With your team trained and your marketing plan in place, you’ll launch your new location. We stay with you after opening, checking in regularly and providing ongoing support in marketing, operations, and technology to help your business grow. If you’ve been exploring home services franchise opportunities, this step marks the exciting start of your journey with The Maids.
