If you were looking for a business to start of your own perhaps you might consider house washing. In many parts of the country house washing is very popular and many people do it twice per year. In some states where house washing is not done so often, people still clean their manufacture and mobile homes two times per year.

It doesn't take much to start a house washing business but there are a few items you need to have and a few things you need to know. First you'll need some soft bristle brushes, a pressure-washer and some garden hose. You'll also need some plastic sheeting to cover the shrubbery if you use any type of chemical house.

For cleaning mold you may be using just a little bit of bleach in the wash water and you need to keep it off the plants. The easiest way to get house washing customers is to go to a housing tract and try to pick out customers near the corners as your first clientele in the area. Then you need some A-frame signs while you are doing the work so that people will see you and you can hand them your flyer or business card.

The best time to do cleaning is when most people are getting home from work, because that is when the traffic in the neighborhoods is the highest. People coming from work or picking kids up from practice will stop and ask about your services.

You should also ask the customers you clean for; for referrals. House washing is not the easiest business in the world and probably not the best business if you are afraid to get wet, but there are a lot of houses to clean. So, perhaps you will consider this in 2006.
