Grow Your Arlington Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Rosslyn to Crystal City, Clarendon to Pentagon City — MaidProfit gives Arlington cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs and serve the DC metro’s wealthiest county.
Why Arlington Is a Premium Cleaning Market
Arlington County has one of the highest median household incomes in the United States ($125,700+), making it a premium market for cleaning services. The county’s highly educated, dual-income professional population — working in government, defense, consulting, and technology — values convenience and readily pays for quality cleaning services.
Amazon’s HQ2 in National Landing (Crystal City/Pentagon City) has brought thousands of high-income tech workers to the area, further driving demand. The Rosslyn-Ballston corridor’s mix of high-rise condos, townhomes, and offices creates dense cleaning opportunities. Arlington’s compact geography means efficient routes and minimal drive time between jobs.
Arlington’s commercial sector is massive. The Pentagon, defense contractors along the Rosslyn corridor, and hundreds of federal contractors and consulting firms require office cleaning. The county’s dense retail and restaurant scene adds commercial opportunities. This dual residential-commercial market supports diversified, year-round cleaning businesses.
Highest Incomes = Premium Rates
Arlington’s extraordinary household incomes support the highest cleaning rates in Virginia. MaidProfit’s premium client portal and automated communication match the expectations of Arlington’s sophisticated clientele.

Arlington Cleaning Business Requirements
Arlington County Business License
Arlington requires a business license from the Commissioner of the Revenue. License fees are based on gross receipts. The application is submitted through the county’s online portal.
Virginia Business Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the Virginia State Corporation Commission ($100 filing fee for LLCs).
Sales Tax Requirements
Virginia’s sales tax in the Northern Virginia region is 6% (4.3% state + 0.7% regional + 1% local). Cleaning services are generally not subject to sales tax in Virginia.
General Liability Insurance
Essential in Arlington’s premium market. Condo associations and commercial clients require $1M minimum coverage. Expect $450–$900/year for a small cleaning business.
Workers’ Compensation
Required in Virginia with three or more employees. Arlington’s higher wages mean higher payroll and correspondingly higher workers’ comp premiums.
Building Access Requirements
Many Arlington condos and office buildings require vendor registration, insurance certificates on file, and background checks for cleaning staff. Plan for these requirements when onboarding new commercial accounts.
