4.0 out of 5 stars Starting a Cleaning Business, May 5 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor (Paperback)
Don Aslett covers many of the major points that anyone who wants to start a business should consider. He has obviously gained a thorough knowledge of the subject through many years of practical experience in the business. As a cleaning contractor who started in the same way as Don I disagree with some of his views regarding hiring and motivating staff although this may because of the different countries where we work (Reviewer resides in the UK). He advises buying products from local suppliers in order to recieve a good reliable service. This is always more expensive for the contractor and does not guarantee good service.His points regarding overspending on items such as vehicles etc is well founded and his advice is generally sound. It is an interesting read although to gain more knowledge on the subject an aspiring cleaner/entreprenuer will need to know much more about the subject before considering embarking on a cleaning career and setting themselves loose on an unwary public. He has covered the subject in other books he has written and this may be found there. All things considered his book is readable and quite informative and generally quite good value for your dollar.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not easily understood., April 27 1997

This review is from: Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor (Paperback)
While the book does give a lot of valuable info to one starting out in the service business, it is not explained in enough detail. It leavea me with a lot of questions that I still can't find answers for. It should be followed by a book that will provide the answers to the serious minded service person. J. J. Robinson Virgin

5.0 out of 5 stars The most informative book I've found yet., Oct 6 2005
By J. Montgomery - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor (Paperback)
I've read MANY how to start a cleaning business books and this is the best I have ever read. He gives pointers about bidding jobs for residential AND commercial contracts.Tells you how to go about getting business, some of the ways will surprise you.This is just what I was looking for. Pair this with Mr Aslett's Professional Cleaners Personal Handbook and even an experienced cleaner will benefit.
