I recently found out about a cleaning company that is paving the way in the cleaning arena called Homejoy. If you are not familiar with Homejoy. Homejoy is the brain child of a brother and sister team  was unable to find a convenient and affordable cleaning service for their own home.

Homejoy is one of the most interesting success stories of the past few years when it comes to internet start-ups. This company’s philosophy is simple: having a professional cleaner come to your house or apartment isn’t just for millionaires and movie stars anymore.  For as little as $25 an hour, anyone can book a professional cleaner to come to their house and clean it from top to bottom.

In addition to their affordable pricing, which is about half of what many competing companies are charging, Homejoy has online profiles for each of their employees so potential customers can decide who they would like to book for their cleaning based on reputation and reviews. If one of their cleaners has a long list of 5-star reviews, customers can order with confidence knowing that there is a history of satisfied customers. No more worrying about having someone no so trust worthy in your home, you can schedule a cleaning with no worries. Homejoy’s hiring policy is also unique to the industry. They take every new employee on a “test clean” to make sure that their skills and standards are up to par. This entrance exam ensures that the people who are hired to Homejoy fit in with the company and their culture.

 Homejoy’s innovative approach to the home cleaning business carries with it another distinct advantage over traditional companies. Their online appointment booking appointments provides an exceptional level of customer convenience. These days, more and more consumers are gravitating toward online services for their transportation needs, food delivery, and the purchasing of various services like home cleaning. By increasing their level of automation, it helps to maintain their low prices and fast delivery times.

I was very impressed to find out that Homejoy also has a foundation that  funds local STEM programs that provide direct services to low-income K-12 students in San Francisco/Bay area .

With the ever-increasing use of technology in almost every aspect of the business world, it is interesting to see new companies like Homejoy making use of fresh and innovative ideas. It will be interesting to watch them continue to grow as a company and continue to evolve to home cleaning business model.
