About MTO Cleaning Services, Inc.
MTOclean franchises offer cleaning services, and each business is individually owned and operated. Franchisees may decide which services they want to offer, so some businesses serve both residential and commercial customers, whereas others have a more specialized clientele. Along with traditional cleaning services, such as housekeeping and janitorial service, MTOclean franchises may offer specialized options, such as carpet cleaning, upholstery care, and pressure washing.
MTOclean franchises that offer residential services may allow homeowners to choose from a variety of options. Routine housecleaning on a weekly or monthly basis may be available, as well as seasonal options such as spring cleaning. Some MTOclean businesses may also offer move-in and/or move-out cleaning, event cleaning, and construction or remodeling cleanup. MTOclean can provide cleaning supplies for all jobs, but franchisees may also offer customers the option of providing their own specialty cleaners.
Some MTOclean franchisees may offer additional options, such as the use of environmentally friendly "green" cleaning products. Some provide power washing, carpet cleaning, or grout cleaning. Drapery and upholstery cleaning may also be available.

Why Choose MTO Cleaning Services, Inc.?
An MTOclean franchise may be a good choice for an entrepreneur who wants to work outside a traditional office environment. The business may be operated out of one's home, as services are provided to customers at their residences or commercial buildings. The franchisor provides training and materials, so candidates do not need to have their own supplies or any experience in order to start their businesses.
The nature of an MTOclean franchise may allow an individual to set his or her own hours. Many residential cleaning customers want service during weekdays, whereas most commercial customers prefer cleaning to happen overnight or during the weekends. By catering to certain clientele, franchisees may be able to create an ideal work schedule that allows them a good work/life balance.
Franchisees may be able to acquire clients for long-term service contracts, ensuring a steady income and return on investment. Additionally, many cleaning jobs are paid immediately, so business owners do not need to wait for long-term receivables or payments on invoices. Some franchisees may be able to build a business together with family members, making it a good choice for those who want to work from home and/or with a spouse or sibling.

Ideal Candidate
An ideal candidate is someone who wishes to operate a cleaning business. Candidates may be able to choose between offering residential or commercial services (or both), but opportunities may be different depending on where the candidate lives. Candidates should be willing to provide estimates and cleaning services themselves or hire employees to perform these tasks. Additionally, good candidates should have strong customer services skills and motivation to engage with potential and existing clients.
