1
Clean things in your own home to gain experience. Begin power-washing professionally only when you feel confident enough to do a thorough cleaning on any sort of household item. Acquire professional training if it is financially possible.

2
Decide which type of cleaning your business will provide. Purchase cleaning chemicals accordingly: You need house wash, as well as gutter and concrete cleaner if you plan on doing home cleaning. Research other types of chemicals needed for more specialized power-washing, such as that required at construction sites.

Assess your start-up capital. Obtain anywhere from $2,000 to $50,000 to begin with, depending on the chemicals and equipment you decide to start with.

4
Register as a limited liability company, or LLC. Obtain a liability insurance policy after registering as an LLC; this will not only protect you and your customers, but will also establish your credibility.

5
Advertise your services. Launch a website, if possible, to immediately give customers an online reference to contact your business. Offer your services to neighbors and friends to generate word-of-mouth sales.
