Extensive Training Prepares You Thoroughly
Your Merry Maids franchise fee includes a training programme that is the broadest in the cleaning franchise industry. A comprehensive pre-study pack with a ten-day Head Office training programme is followed by in-depth interaction with the Merry Maids' franchise development team, and assistance from an established franchise owner. This three-part process covers all the preparation, procedures and systems necessary to develop, manage and operate a successful  home cleaning franchise.

 

Hands-On Help
Company instructors with real-world, home-cleaning franchise experience teach the Merry Maids' method of hiring, training, marketing, selling, scheduling and cleaning. The combination of franchise training manuals, CD presentations, interactive computer CD-ROM training, on-the-job experience, computer instruction and the latest field instructional techniques gives you a practical, well-rounded understanding of the Merry Maids cleaning franchise operation.

 

Team Member Franchise Training
Our specialised two-person team cleaning concept and incentive pay systems attract full and part-time workers who seek daytime hours, flexible schedules and above-average pay. Our team members are our greatest assets.

For this reason, your initial cleaning franchise fee also includes a comprehensive package of instructional tools and materials to help you select, train, develop and compensate team members.

 

Besides cleaning training videos, Merry Maids provides a large library of hiring and safety video presentations, and customised recognition and reward programmes. When properly trained, scheduled and motivated, each two-member team can normally clean two to three homes per day.

 

Your initial franchise fee  includes the equipment, supplies and exclusive Merry Maids products to equip up to four cleaning teams.

 

Merry Maids products are researched, developed and manufactured exclusively for us, and training materials are provided to ensure their proper use. Every cleaning product is developed to make operating a Merry Maids business safe and easy.

 

Each one is colour-coded for easy visual identification and meets risk & COSHH requirements.

Merry Maids supplies, equipment, and cleaning tools are available from the Merry Maids warehouse, which inventories and distributes hundreds of professional-quality home cleaning products. Any item can be ordered by phone or by email 24 hours a day. Delivery is within 3 working days.

 

Customised Computer Software
The Merry Maids Customer Information System (CIS) is user-friendly, proprietary software created by Merry Maids that integrates all areas of your house cleaning business franchise operation. Our franchise owners report that CIS frees them to grow their businesses because it takes care of the mundane, day-to-day office operations. 

The Merry Maids CIS streamlines routine operational procedures and provides continually updated information to assist your management processes. You control and build your house cleaning business with dedicated key functions such as scheduling, payroll, bookkeeping and goal setting. In addition, a Sage accounting and payroll system is included.
