What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

Getting new clients. Pricing correctly and closing deals are essential. I'm expanding into general cleaning because I'm getting a lot of inquiries but don't know where to start. I clean for people who are moving out. I'd like some advice on broadening my horizons in the cleaning industry.

Actions I’ve taken so far

Every day, I post to Facebook groups to promote my business. Because of our excellent service, we have recurring customers. I brought a cleaning starter package, but it's from a Dubai company, so I'm not sure if it'll work in South Africa.

My future goals

I'd like my business to be the go-to for all cleaning services, but I'd like to keep them separate ( carpet and furniture cleaning, Persian rug washing, janitorial cleaning ) I'd like to have a warehouse where all rugs are washed; it's my passion to spend time cleaning Persian and Oriental carpets.

My motivations to work with a mentor

I am a go-getter, I take risks (which has also been my downfall), I am disciplined, and I will go to any length to succeed. I am an open-minded person who welcomes suggestions and is willing to try anything.


About my venture

Ucucleaning Started 2020

In lockdown 2020 March, I was unable to return to work due to day care/ school being closed. I was selling catering equipment for lodges and the industry was also at a halt. I brought a carpet cleaning machine, went for some training from my father in law( he has been in the carpet industry since 1979) With time my ex-employer has asked me to come back but building a business for myself and family is more important. I truly love what I do, my right hand was on maternity leave and my business went down considerably. I have had temps from our carpet installations company helping me out (but they are expensive labour), I resorted to other temps but its difficult to train new employees. Luckily my right hand is returning to work in January. I wish to expand in teams and also have a rug cleaning warehouse with time.

Countries of operation: South Africa
