Take Your Cleveland Cleaning Business to the Next Level
From Shaker Heights to Westlake, Tremont to Avon — MaidProfit gives Cleveland cleaning companies the technology to compete across Northeast Ohio’s sprawling market.
Why Cleveland’s Size and Diversity Create Opportunity
Cleveland’s metro area of 2.1 million people and 860,000 households represents one of the largest markets in the Midwest. The Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and a strong healthcare corridor drive demand from medical professionals who need reliable cleaning services for their busy schedules.
The west side suburbs — Westlake, Rocky River, Avon, Bay Village — offer premium residential cleaning opportunities with affluent families in established homes. Shaker Heights, Beachwood, and Pepper Pike on the east side represent the metro’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
Cleveland’s cost of living is significantly below the national average, keeping startup costs low while the large population provides ample demand. The city’s four-season climate generates predictable cleaning cycles: spring deep cleans, summer maintenance, fall prep, and winter salt/mud cleanup.
Healthcare Capital = Reliable Clients
The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals employ tens of thousands of healthcare workers with demanding schedules and stable incomes. These professionals are among the most reliable recurring cleaning clients in any market.
Everything you need to scale
Built specifically for cleaning businesses — not generic software adapted for your industry.
What Cleveland Cleaners Charge
Cleveland rates are affordable by national standards but offer strong margins thanks to low operating costs.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $95 – $210 | $140 |
| Deep Cleaning | $170 – $385 | $265 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $200 – $440 | $310 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.07 – $0.15 | $0.10 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $80 – $175 | $120 |
Shaker Heights, Beachwood, and Pepper Pike command the highest rates on the east side. Westlake, Rocky River, and Bay Village lead the west side. Tremont and Ohio City attract young professionals at moderate pricing. Downtown commercial cleaning is a growing segment.
