Grow Your Bear Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Glasgow to Christiana, Route 40 corridor to Lums Pond — MaidProfit gives Bear cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs and grow in Delaware’s family-oriented suburban market.
Why Bear Is an Underserved Suburban Cleaning Market
Bear is a thriving unincorporated community in New Castle County, centrally located along the Route 40 corridor between Wilmington and the Maryland border. Its family-oriented demographics, affordable housing, and suburban character make it an ideal market for residential cleaning services.
Bear’s location near the Amazon fulfillment center, Christiana Hospital, and the Christiana Mall shopping district means many residents are working professionals with limited time for house cleaning. The community’s established neighborhoods and newer developments create a mix of service opportunities.
With only about 120 cleaning businesses serving the Bear-Glasgow-Christiana corridor, the market has room for growth. Bear’s central position makes it an excellent base for serving a wide swath of New Castle County — from Newark to Middletown, Wilmington suburbs to the Maryland border.
Central Location, Wide Reach
Bear’s location along Route 40 makes it a natural base for serving New Castle County. MaidProfit’s zone scheduling helps you efficiently cover Bear, Glasgow, Christiana, and surrounding communities.

What Bear Area Cleaners Charge
Bear cleaning rates reflect central Delaware’s family-oriented market. Here’s what local businesses charge.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $100 – $225 | $148 |
