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.

How do I value a cleaning business?
