As you might expect, those involved in the cleaning industry tend to specialise in either domestic or commercial cleaning. Whether it’s painstakingly scrubbing a wall mounted soap dispenser, cleaning carpets or windows, or offering a deep clean service to restaurants and takeaways, the options are almost endless – and remember: where there’s muck there’s money.

In cases like this, it’s best to stick to your strong suit and get involved in the area of the business where you feel most comfortable.
