Why Start a Cleaning Business in Moscow
Moscow is the #13 largest city in Idaho with a population of 26,000+. University of Idaho college town with strong student housing turnover and a vibrant downtown creating steady cleaning demand. The local economy, anchored by employers like University of Idaho, Gritman Medical Center, Bennett Lumber Products, creates sustained demand for both residential and commercial cleaning services.
Moscow's median household income of $42,000 and home values around $310,000 position it as a strong market for recurring cleaning services. Look to neighborhoods like Indian Hills, Hawthorne Village, East Side for your core client base.
Moscow's high-desert climate brings cold, snowy winters and warm, dry summers. Road salt and dust tracked into homes during winter and dry-season dust create reliable seasonal cleaning demand. As Moscow continues to grow, both new residents and established homeowners are driving consistent demand for professional cleaning services.
