Grow Your Juneau Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From downtown to the Mendenhall Valley, Douglas Island to Auke Bay — MaidProfit gives Juneau cleaning companies the tools to automate operations in Alaska’s capital city.
Why Juneau’s Cleaning Market Punches Above Its Weight
Juneau is Alaska’s capital city and, despite its modest population of 32,000, offers a surprisingly strong market for cleaning services. State government jobs, federal agencies, and a booming cruise ship tourism industry create demand that far exceeds what you’d expect from a city this size.
During cruise season (May through September), Juneau welcomes over 1.5 million cruise ship passengers. This influx drives massive demand for vacation rental cleaning, Airbnb turnovers, and commercial cleaning for downtown shops and restaurants that cater to tourists. Smart cleaning businesses double their revenue during these peak months.
Juneau’s isolation — accessible only by air or sea — means limited competition. There are fewer than 85 cleaning businesses serving the entire borough. The city’s high median household income ($83,400) and government workforce ensure a stable base of recurring residential clients year-round.
Cruise Season = Revenue Gold
Juneau’s 1.5 million annual cruise visitors create a tourism-driven cleaning boom from May through September. MaidProfit helps you manage the seasonal surge while maintaining your recurring client base.

What Juneau Cleaners Charge
Juneau cleaning rates are premium due to the city’s isolation and high cost of living. Here’s what local businesses charge.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $150 – $310 | $210 |
| Deep Cleaning | $260 – $540 | $380 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $300 – $580 | $420 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.11 – $0.21 | $0.15 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $130 – $260 | $180 |
Downtown and Douglas Island command premium rates, especially during cruise season. The Mendenhall Valley offers steady family-oriented residential demand. Auke Bay and out-the-road homes often pay extra for distance.
Juneau Cleaning Business Requirements
City and Borough of Juneau Business License
Juneau requires a local business license from the City and Borough of Juneau Finance Department. The annual fee varies by business type.
Alaska State Business License
Required for all Alaska businesses. Biennial fee of $50 from the Alaska Division of Corporations.
Juneau Sales Tax
Unlike most of Alaska, Juneau levies a 5% sales tax on goods and services. Cleaning services are subject to this tax. You must collect and remit sales tax to the borough.
General Liability Insurance
Essential in Juneau due to the city’s isolation and high property values. Most commercial clients and property managers require $500K–$1M coverage. Expect $500–$950/year.
Workers’ Compensation
Mandatory in Alaska for all employers with one or more employees. Costs run $2.00–$4.00 per $100 of payroll.
Cruise Season Staffing
Many Juneau cleaning businesses hire seasonal workers for the May–September tourism surge. Ensure you have proper employment documentation and workers’ comp coverage for temporary staff.
