Pre-opening procedures: We’ll teach you what to do before opening your cleaning business franchise in Des Moines (spoiler: it’s not just crossing your fingers and hoping for the best).
People development: You’ll learn how to build your franchise with effective networking solutions that actually work in the real world—not just awkward chamber of commerce mixers.
Cleaner recruitment process: Discover the secret to recruiting and retaining the finest cleaners in the industry. (Hint: it’s not just posting on Indeed and praying.)

We Don’t Ghost You After Training
Look, we’ve all been there—bought something, got excited, then suddenly the company acts like you don’t exist. (Looking at you, gym membership sales guy.) That’s not how we roll at MaidThis. When you invest in our cleaning franchise opportunity, you’re not just buying a business model—you’re joining a family that actually answers the phone when you call.
You’ll also get:
Start-up support: MaidThis understands how critical the setup phase is for your cleaning business franchise in Des Moines. This is why Neel, our CEO, will personally check in with you twice monthly for your first three months. (No, this isn’t a bot—it’s an actual human who cares about your success.)
Monthly consultations: Discuss effective sales and marketing tactics with our dedicated team during monthly calls. With years of industry experience, the MaidThis team provides all the resources you need to grow your business without the trial-and-error headaches.

Tech support: Website setup is included in our package, meaning you’ll have access to our field-tested, high-converting website from day one. We’ll continuously maintain and improve your site while providing all graphics and content. (Because nobody has time to become a web designer overnight.)

“The people who would be ideal to start a MaidThis franchise might have a similar background to me. Your purpose is to find time, location, or financial freedom. Maybe you’re working at a corporate job and are not completely fulfilled. People who are looking to start their first business but might be a little scared to go at it alone can follow the blueprint we’ve proven and tested.”

“It’s scary to go into business by yourself. I would not suggest anyone to do it by themselves. The support you get from MaidThis, it’s not just the training and the knowledge, its the live experience from other locations. There is so much more than just the training, there’s constant support and collaboration.”

“MaidThis had an operating model that fits what I was looking for. Plus I think I had a chance to get to know MaidThis through our conversations with the team. Ultimately, what made me decide to sign up was that it tied back to my family and where I was in my life at that time — it just felt like the right fit.”

Owner of MaidThis Phoenix
“The maid service business model is built around recurring revenue, which I really liked. You’re not just doing a one-and-done job and scrambling to find new customers. Instead, if you do a great job the first time, customers want you back—whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. It creates a steady and reliable stream of business.”

FAQ: The Questions Everyone Asks (But You Asked First)
What makes MaidThis different from other cleaning franchise opportunities?
We’re the only franchise that lets you run everything remotely from day one. While other franchises chain you to a physical location, we give you the freedom to scale your Des Moines operation from anywhere. Plus, our tech does the heavy lifting so you can focus on strategy instead of scheduling nightmares.
Do you offer franchise opportunities for veterans?
Absolutely—and we put our money where our mouth is. Veterans get a 10% discount on franchise fees because we believe military experience translates perfectly to franchise success. Your discipline and leadership skills are exactly what this business needs.
How quickly can I expect to see profits in Des Moines?
Most franchisees see positive cash flow within 6-12 months, but Des Moines has particularly strong demand for quality cleaning services. With our proven marketing system and your dedication, you could be profitable faster than the national average. (We’re not promising overnight riches, but we’re not dealing in fairy tales either.)
What ongoing support do I get after training?
You’re never flying solo. Beyond the CEO check-ins and monthly consultations, you have 24/7 access to our operations team, continuous website updates, marketing campaigns, and a network of fellow franchise owners who’ve been in your shoes. Think of it as having a business mentor who actually answers their phone.
Can I expand to multiple territories in Iowa?
Once you’ve proven your Des Moines operation is running smoothly, territory expansion is definitely on the table. We prefer franchisees who master one market before conquering the state, but ambitious growth is exactly what we’re looking for.
What if I have zero experience in the cleaning industry?
Perfect—you’re not stuck with outdated methods or bad habits. Our system works regardless of your background because we’ve automated the complex parts and simplified everything else. Some of our most successful franchisees came from completely different industries.
