Are you seriously considering this as a business in Nigeria? I'm not very sure the clientelle is that big. First, many Nigerians may not be able to pay premiums for professionals to clean their homes/offices, and when they're ready to pay, there are hundreds of other companies who will charge much less. I remember calling a couple of companies I got online, and when they gave me quotations of the cleaning, I resorted to doing it via my cousins, and I paid much less than a third of the price they were quoting.

Laundry business seem to make some more sense, especially in high brow areas in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, etc, where employees of multinationals/blue-chip companies spend the most productive part of the day at work and caanot do the laundry themselves, especially for bachelors. But you need to give some excellent customer services that are value-adding such as home/office pick ups/deliveries, payments with cheques, etc. And please don't think of doing laundry or home cleaning businesses in certain towns/parts of Lagos. You might end up paying the rent with your savings.

OP,

I think there is great prospect in Office cleaning business in Nigeria but not so sure of home cleaning except if what you mean by home cleaning will be neighbourhood cleaning (cleaning people's neighbourhoods like the stairways in high rise apartment Houses, the streets within a residential estate and special cleaning e.g rugs difficult to reach spots in churches you know those high spots with lots of cobwebs and dust)

Overall I think it is a good business.

Thanks guys.

My real fears were in terms of the market for home cleaning especially. I fear the demand for home cleaning is quite low in Nigeria and as @TokyoB opined, our communal life style and cheap labour found here means that people wud rather use family members and tip them than using call pros. I also think things are changing but mayb not very fast. I intend to do d stuff in Abuja.

@LagBlogger, I actually meant home maid service, housekeeping. . .if there are lawns, we can mow and maintain but I don't want to start talking abt making it look industrial just yet. D neighbourhood thing can be incorporated but I was like we needed to clean those rooms and toilets first before the client says "ah! Do u think my stairways are redeemable? D office thing, I know and it also needs a lot of marketing to displace those already there. Thanks bro,

Well OP this business still needs some more investigation.

I think its an emerging market here in Nigeria which will defiinitely grow stronger. There are lots of young entrepreneur trying to break even in this market. Am sure with a good business success will be inevitable.

Thanks all. Pls keep suggestions coming. . .I am serious abt dis.

not a big market, u `ll need extra effort to break even, moreso, home cleaning is a no-go area, wetin huse helps dey do?

here no be obodo oyinbo

^^^ I tot as much @Konnektions146. House helps must do d work for free but I see that aspect phasing out with improved std of living. Naija parents will be able to cater for their kids (send them all to school) and not send them out as helps in exchange for wrappers and bags of xmas/sallah rice.

Channel ur finance to do other profitable business

Please dont border.All the cleaning can wait exept food why not try Grass cutter or fish farming and if you dont mind the west try piggery if you contact me on oc2fish@yahoo.com

Pls i just started a cleaning business,public view and advise will really be appreciated

it a very good business, i am also into it. i dont know if both of us can work as team for sometime

To answer your question, I think you should read about Home and Office business in Nigeria to understand more!

Baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is 100% non-toxic and enviromentally friendly. It is not dangerous in any way unlike other blasting materials. Soda treats the surface much better than the previous known blasting material: sand, which can also be hazardous to the user.

• Removing of graffiti
• Cleaning of badly burned houses after a fire

Soda blasting can be applied to numerous surfaces. These include aluminium, stainless steel, wood, glass, brick, steel, concrete and natural stone (sandstone, lime, marble) and more.
Soda blasting removes and cleans difficult substances quickly and easily including rubberized tar, spray sealers, surface treatments, epoxy resins, resurfacing concrete and many more.
No other existing method can remove such difficult to remove substances as quickly, effectively and efficiently than Soda Blasting.
Soda blasting is part of CHOGON CLEANING SERVICES Cleaning Systems Nigeria's integrated specialized cleaning solutions.
