Grow Your Aurora Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From downtown Aurora to the Fox Valley Mall corridor, North Aurora to Montgomery — MaidProfit gives Aurora cleaning companies the tools to compete in Chicago’s western suburbs and build a thriving business.
Why Aurora Is a Prime Suburban Cleaning Market
Aurora is Illinois’ second-largest city with over 180,000 residents, situated in the heart of the Fox Valley region. Its position as a major western suburb of Chicago means access to a large, affluent population base that commutes to the city for work and values the convenience of professional cleaning at home.
The city’s diverse housing stock — from historic homes along the Fox River to newer developments in South Aurora and the Eola Road corridor — creates cleaning demand across every price point. Aurora’s growing Latino population also drives demand for cleaning services within a culturally connected community where referrals and word-of-mouth are powerful.
Aurora’s commercial sector along the I-88 corridor and near the Fox Valley Mall provides steady office and retail cleaning contracts. The city’s position spanning both DuPage and Kane counties means access to two of the wealthiest counties in Illinois, significantly expanding your potential service area.
Two-County Access
Aurora straddles DuPage and Kane counties, giving you access to affluent suburban clients in both. MaidProfit’s zone-based scheduling helps you serve clients across county lines efficiently without overextending your routes.
Everything you need to scale
Built specifically for cleaning businesses — not generic software adapted for your industry.
