Grout Cleaning biz

**mikek** · 12-20-2008 01:25 PM

Hey there,

Just wondering if anybody here has or knows anybody who is in the grout cleaning business. I would like to network.

Please reply or PM me

I am curious about: start-up costs, hours involved on an average work week, income potential, and marketing strategies

Thanks

Are you talking about grout as in mould/mildew?

Or are you talking about grout as in the cement used to hold bathroom tiles together?

Both have an excellent earning potential

If you would like a great site for a ton of "grout" cleaning information P.M. me and I'd be happy to send it to you.

I am in the commercial cleaning business myself, and the best way to market my self and company has simply been cold calling, Good Luck

There is a guy in my town who does nothing but grout and tile cleaning/replacement and also some bathtub reconditioning. Met him in a bar one evening and got talking. Said he can't keep up with the work. Been flat out for a couple of years. Biggest problem for him was getting quality employees. Said it was a fantastic business. Lots of work but good. I'd never seem him advertise (I'm in a pretty small town) and asked how he got his business. Said it was 90% referrals. He offered some sort of small discount or gift card to his existing clients to turn him onto new clients. If I see him around I'll try and grab a card.
