The Old Guard vs. The New Wave: A Tale of Two Cleaning Franchises
The Maids: Reliable but Limited
The Maids has been a trusted name since 1979, with over 1,500 locations across North America. While they excel in residential cleaning, their model requires a physical office, limiting flexibility and adding overhead. They focus only on residential services, missing out on the growing vacation rental market. Plus, startup costs range from $80,150 to $154,350.
MaidThis: Modern and Flexible
MaidThis takes a fresh, tech-driven approach. Founded in 2013, they’ve grown to 30 locations by offering a fully remote model with lower costs. They serve both residential and vacation rental markets, providing two revenue streams. MaidThis also offers strong training and support to help franchisees succeed.

Real talk: The cleaning industry is booming, but not all opportunities are created equal.
While residential cleaning remains a stable market, the vacation rental cleaning sector is exploding faster than a shaken soda can. With the surge in Airbnb, VRBO, and other short-term rental platforms, property owners are desperate for reliable cleaning services that understand their unique needs.
MaidThis positions you perfectly to capture both markets. Our reasonable startup costs, personalized approach, generous territories, and dual revenue streams give you a competitive edge that old-school franchises simply can’t match.
