Self‑employed cleaner or cleaning company: what suits you?
The pros and cons of a self‑employed cleaner and a cleaning company, listed side by side, for home and for your business.

Through 321clean both independent cleaners and cleaning companies work. What’s the difference, and when should you choose each?
Independent cleaner
- Personal: you have one regular person who knows your home.
- Flexible in appointments and often easy to combine with regular weekly schedules.
- When you’re ill or on holiday, a replacement may need to be found.
Ideal for: weekly or fortnightly home cleaning.
Cleaning company
- Capacity: multiple people at once, so large jobs are finished faster.
- Replacement is usually arranged internally.
- Often own equipment and machines, for example for floors or glass.
Ideal for: handovers, post‑renovation cleaning, offices, VvE's and larger properties.
