Grow Your Kearney Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From the UNK campus to the Country Club, Yanney Park to the east side — MaidProfit gives Kearney cleaning companies the tools to serve south-central Nebraska’s vibrant college town.
Why Kearney Is an Accessible Market for Cleaning Entrepreneurs
Kearney is a vibrant college town anchored by the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) and positioned along the I-80 corridor. With 34,000 residents and fewer than 45 cleaning businesses, Kearney offers extremely low competition and straightforward market entry.
UNK’s 6,000+ students create seasonal apartment turnover demand, while the university’s faculty and staff provide stable residential clients. Kearney’s healthcare sector (CHI Health Good Samaritan) and regional retail add professional demand.
The city’s affluent neighborhoods near the Country Club and along the south side feature families willing to pay for regular cleaning. Kearney’s cost of living is among the lowest in the country, meaning startup costs are minimal and profitability is achievable quickly.
Tiny Market, Big Opportunity
With fewer than 45 cleaning businesses in the entire area, a professional operation in Kearney can quickly become the go-to cleaning service for the community. MaidProfit’s professional tools give you an immediate credibility advantage.
Everything you need to scale
Built specifically for cleaning businesses — not generic software adapted for your industry.
What Kearney Cleaners Charge
Kearney cleaning rates are among the most affordable in Nebraska, but ultra-low operating costs make margins viable.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $70 – $155 | $100 |
| Deep Cleaning | $135 – $280 | $195 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $170 – $340 | $240 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.06 – $0.11 | $0.08 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $60 – $130 | $88 |
Country Club area and south Kearney neighborhoods command the highest rates. Student-area apartments near UNK are more price-sensitive but offer volume. The east side provides moderate residential demand.
