First off thanks for having a forum for people such as myself. I am 27 and live in NYC. Recently being laid off from my job i have decided to start my own venture. My mother has been a house cleaner for over 25 years in Manhattan and is ready to retire in the next year. Being highly referred throughout the community she has to turn down jobs because of her fixed schedule. i was hoping someone had some experience with a cleaning service business that could perhaps share some experiences. THANKS!
