How do I start a cleaning business in Florida?

Register your business with the Florida Division of Corporations (sunbiz.org), obtain a local business tax receipt from your county, and get general liability insurance. Florida doesn't require a state cleaning license, but some counties have additional requirements. If you hire employees, register with the Florida Department of Revenue for payroll taxes.

How much do house cleaners charge in Florida?

Standard cleaning in Florida runs $100–$200 per home, depending on size and location. Miami and Naples command higher rates ($140–$250+), while inland markets are lower. Vacation rental turnover cleaning—especially in Orlando, Kissimmee, and Panama City Beach—often runs $100–$180 per turnover with premium rates for same-day turnarounds.

Is vacation rental cleaning profitable in Florida?

Yes—Florida's 100M+ annual tourists make short-term rental cleaning one of the most profitable niches in the state. Airbnb hosts and property managers pay premium rates for reliable, consistent turnover cleans. TidyWise lets you manage vacation rental cleaning schedules, auto-detect checkout/checkin times, and invoice property managers automatically.
