Grow Your Seattle Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From Capitol Hill to Ballard, Queen Anne to West Seattle — MaidProfit gives Seattle cleaning companies the tools to book more jobs, automate operations, and scale in one of America’s most tech-savvy markets.
Why Seattle Is a Top-Tier Cleaning Market
Seattle is the tech capital of the Pacific Northwest, home to Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, and thousands of startups. The city’s extraordinarily high median household income ($105,400+) creates a client base that values convenience and readily invests in professional cleaning services. Seattle’s tech workforce is digitally native, expecting seamless online booking and communication.
The city’s rain-driven climate creates year-round cleaning demand. Mud season, allergen management, and the constant battle against moisture and mildew make regular cleaning a necessity rather than a luxury. Seattle’s compact neighborhoods — from Capitol Hill to Ballard, Fremont to West Seattle — provide dense route opportunities for efficient operations.
Seattle’s Airbnb and vacation rental market adds another revenue stream. Tourism driven by Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the city’s food scene creates turnover cleaning demand. The suburban Eastside (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond) extends the market with premium residential opportunities in tech worker communities.
Tech Workforce = Digital-First Clients
Seattle’s tech professionals expect to book, pay, and communicate digitally. MaidProfit’s online booking, client portal, and automated messaging match these expectations perfectly.
Everything you need to scale

What Seattle Cleaners Charge
Seattle cleaning rates are among the highest in the nation, reflecting the city’s tech economy. Here’s what local businesses charge.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $145 – $320 | $215 |
| Deep Cleaning | $270 – $580 | $400 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $310 – $630 | $455 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.10 – $0.22 | $0.15 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $125 – $270 | $180 |
Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, and Madison Park command premium rates. Ballard and Fremont are strong mid-to-premium markets. South Seattle offers more competitive pricing with good volume. The Eastside (Bellevue, Redmond) matches or exceeds Seattle proper rates.
Seattle Cleaning Business Requirements
City of Seattle Business License
Seattle requires a business license through the Seattle Department of Finance and Administrative Services. Register through the state’s Business Licensing Service (BLS) portal. The city license is included in the state business license fee.
Washington Business Registration
Register your business with the Washington Secretary of State ($180 for LLCs). Washington has no state income tax, boosting your bottom line significantly.
Business & Occupation (B&O) Tax
Washington levies a B&O tax instead of income tax. Seattle’s combined B&O rate for service businesses is approximately 1.5% of gross receipts. Register with the Department of Revenue.
General Liability Insurance
Essential in Seattle’s premium market. Condo associations and commercial clients require $1M minimum coverage. Expect $450–$900/year for a small cleaning business.
Workers’ Compensation
Required in Washington through the Department of Labor & Industries. Rates for cleaning businesses run approximately $1.80–$3.50 per $100 of payroll.
Seattle Minimum Wage
Seattle’s minimum wage is $19.97/hour (2024) for large employers — one of the highest in the nation. Factor this into your pricing. It’s a competitive advantage when attracting quality cleaners.
