The cleaning industry plays a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene across various sectors, including residential, commercial, and industrial environments. This industry has gained significant importance, especially in the wake of heightened awareness around health and sanitation following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Businesses in this industry are dominated by residential cleaning services, followed by commercial janitorial companies. Commercial janitorial businesses tend to command higher valuations thanks to their relatively predictable revenue streams, and resilience to macroeconomic factors.
If you are planning to buy or sell a cleaning or janitorial business, it is helpful to have some context on the market in terms of valuation metric and typical financial performance. To that end, we have aggregated and analyzed business for sale data in the cleaning industry to tease out average financials and valuation multiples based on asking prices.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a cleaning business?
Prices vary depending on the size and sales of the business, but the median asking price for a cleaning business in the U.S. is $250,000.
How much do cleaning business owners earn?
Cleaning and janitorial business owners report median annual sales of $499,348 and annual owner earnings of $152,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a cleaning business?
Valuing a cleaning business involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, stability of customer base, and economic trends in the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among cleaning and janitorial businesses listed for sale across the U.S. range from 0.31 to 1.09, with the median at 0.67. Earnings multiples range from 1.15 to 3.00, with the median at 2.10. These values suggest a typical cleaning business may sell for around 0.67 times its annual revenue, and 2.1 times its annual owner’s earnings.
