Summary of Operation: This is a management franchise in the domestic cleaning sector where you can either get involved in the day to day cleaning, or take a hands-on management approach and manage teams of cleaners in the area.

Many more private households are following the trend of commercial offices in outsourcing their domestic chores. The increasing need for the service is the result of the growth two-income household, rising recognition of the value of leisure time and longer working hours. The number of households employing a cleaning service is predicted to rise significantly in the next few years. Our business concept overcomes many of the specific challenges in this sector, including such factors as staff absenteeism, staff retention and recruitment.

From the beginning of the business in 1997, we have had a totally hands-on approach. We have worked through challenges, found the best possible solutions and have produced the Daily Poppins Success Formula, which includes the key to effective staff management. This in turn enables franchise owners to build a strong customer base that provides excellent repeat business in a sector that is booming.
