Grow Your Hattiesburg Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From the Historic Downtown to Oak Grove, the USM campus to the Avenues — MaidProfit gives Hattiesburg cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs and serve the Hub City efficiently.
Why Hattiesburg Is an Emerging Cleaning Market
Hattiesburg is the Hub City of south Mississippi, anchored by the University of Southern Mississippi and a strong healthcare sector led by Forrest General Hospital and Merit Health Wesley. With a metro population of 170,000, the city offers cleaning businesses a growing market with minimal competition.
USM’s 14,000+ students create seasonal demand for move-in/move-out cleaning and apartment turnovers. The university’s faculty and staff provide a stable base of residential clients who value professional cleaning services.
Hattiesburg’s Oak Grove suburb to the south features newer homes and families with higher incomes than the city average. The city’s strategic location at the intersection of I-59 and Highway 98 also makes it a regional hub, with growing retail and commercial properties that need cleaning services.
College Town + Healthcare = Steady Demand
USM’s student population and Hattiesburg’s healthcare workers create consistent, year-round demand. Cleaning businesses that serve both markets enjoy diverse revenue streams. MaidProfit helps you manage multiple client types effortlessly.
