Grow Your Los Angeles Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Beverly Hills to Silver Lake, the Westside to the San Fernando Valley — MaidProfit gives LA cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs, automate operations, and scale in America’s second-largest city.
Why Los Angeles Is a Cleaning Business Powerhouse
Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the United States and the center of a metro area with 13.2 million people. The sheer scale of the LA market is staggering — 3.4 million households, a $1 trillion economy, and a lifestyle culture that places high value on appearance, cleanliness, and convenience.
LA’s entertainment, tech, healthcare, and professional services industries create a massive workforce of busy professionals who rely on cleaning services. From Hollywood executives in Brentwood to tech workers in Playa Vista, entertainment lawyers in Century City to doctors in Pasadena, the demand spans every neighborhood and price point.
The city’s year-round mild climate, combined with wildfire ash, smog, and dust, creates consistent cleaning needs beyond basic housekeeping. LA’s enormous short-term rental market (Airbnb alone has 45,000+ listings in greater LA) adds a massive commercial opportunity for turnover cleaning services.
Massive Scale = Unlimited Opportunity
With 3.4 million households and growing, LA will never run out of cleaning demand. The challenge isn’t finding clients — it’s managing operations efficiently. MaidProfit’s scheduling and team management tools are built for exactly this.
Everything you need to scale
Built specifically for cleaning businesses — not generic software adapted for your industry.
What Los Angeles Cleaners Charge
LA cleaning rates are among the highest in the nation. Here’s what local businesses charge.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $150 – $350 | $225 |
| Deep Cleaning | $280 – $600 | $420 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $320 – $650 | $470 |

Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades command premium rates exceeding $500 for standard cleanings. Silver Lake, Echo Park, and Highland Park are mid-range but growing. The San Fernando Valley offers strong volume at moderate pricing.
Los Angeles Cleaning Business Requirements
City of Los Angeles Business Tax Registration
LA requires a Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC) from the Office of Finance. The annual tax is based on gross receipts — approximately $5.07 per $1,000 for service businesses. Apply online at finance.lacity.org.
California LLC Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the California Secretary of State ($70 for LLC). California also charges an annual $800 LLC franchise tax regardless of revenue — factor this into your business plan.
California Sales Tax
California does not generally charge sales tax on cleaning services. However, if you sell cleaning products as part of your service, those may be taxable. LA County’s combined sales tax rate is 10.25%.
General Liability Insurance
Essential in LA due to high property values and litigious environment. Most clients require $1M–$2M coverage. Expect $600–$1,200/year for a small cleaning business.
Workers’ Compensation
California requires workers’ compensation for all employers, even with one employee. This is strictly enforced. Costs run $3.00–$5.00 per $100 of payroll — higher than most states.
LA Minimum Wage
The City of Los Angeles minimum wage is $16.78/hour (2024), higher than the California state minimum. Factor this into your pricing when hiring employees. LA County has its own minimum wage for unincorporated areas.
