12 Fast Cleaning Ideas to Make $800 This Week
Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked with many women who needed income quickly—without complicated systems or long preparation. Cleaning services remain one of the most direct paths to short-term earnings because the demand is immediate and consistent.
$800 in a week breaks down to roughly $115 per day. That’s not an overwhelming number. What matters is choosing the right services, pricing them clearly, and filling your schedule with intention.
Here are twelve practical cleaning ideas that can help you reach that goal within a week.
1. Basic Home Cleaning (Quick Sessions)
Start with what people already need.
- Charge: $70–$100 per home
- Focus on kitchens, bathrooms, and main areas
Just one job per day puts you close to your target.
2. Deep Cleaning (High-Value Jobs)
These require more effort but pay more.
- Charge: $150–$250
- Focus on neglected areas
Even 3–4 of these in a week can cover most of your goal.
3. Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning
Time-sensitive and often higher paying.
- Charge: $150–$300 per job
Clients in transition are ready to pay for convenience.
4. Airbnb or Short-Term Rental Turnovers
Fast, repeatable work.
- Charge: $60–$120 per turnover
- Potential for multiple jobs in one day
Consistency makes this reliable income.
5. Kitchen-Only Deep Cleans
Narrow services are easier to sell quickly.
- Charge: $50–$80
These are easier to book than full-home cleanings.
6. Bathroom Refresh Services
Another focused, high-demand option.
- Charge: $40–$70
Short jobs that can fill gaps in your schedule.
7. Laundry and Folding Services
Often overlooked, but valuable.
- Charge: $15–$30 per load or bundle
Can be offered as an add-on or standalone service.
8. Post-Event Cleanups
Events create immediate cleaning needs.
- Charge: $80–$150
These jobs are usually urgent and less price-sensitive.
9. Office or Small Business Cleaning
Even small spaces need regular upkeep.
- Charge: $80–$150 per visit
Even one or two clients can stabilize your week.
10. Add-On Services for Existing Clients
Increase your income without finding new clients.
- Fridge cleaning: +$20
- Oven cleaning: +$25
Small additions build quickly.
11. Same-Day “Quick Clean” Offers
Position it as a convenience service.
- 1–2 hour clean
- Charge: $50–$80
These are easier to book on short notice.
12. Decluttering and Organizing Sessions
Cleaning and organizing often go together.
- Charge: $25–$50 per hour
This can extend your time and increase your earnings per visit.
Structuring the $800 Goal
Let’s keep it practical:
- 5 standard cleans at $90 = $450
- 2 deep cleans at $175 = $350
That brings you to $800 with a manageable workload.
Or:
- 1 job per day averaging $115
Consistency matters more than volume.
What Actually Works
From experience, the women who reach these short-term goals focus on a few key things:
- Offer simple, clear services
Clients should understand what they’re booking immediately. - Price confidently
Low pricing leads to more work, not more income. - Fill your schedule early in the week
Momentum builds when your time is already committed. - Be reliable
Showing up on time leads to repeat work and referrals. - Use direct outreach
Quick income comes from direct conversations, not waiting to be found.
A Final Word**
Cleaning services may not seem like a long-term plan to everyone—but they are one of the fastest ways to generate immediate income when approached correctly.
I’ve seen many women use this as a starting point—building confidence, consistency, and control over their time.
If you approach this week with structure—clear services, steady pricing, and consistent effort—$800 is not a stretch goal. It’s a direct result of showing up, doing the work, and repeating that process each day.
