Oven cleaning ranks among the least favourite household chores, which is why professional oven cleaning services are always going to be in demand – not only among householders, but a wide range of businesses too, from pubs to schools and independent bakeries.
A professional oven cleaning franchise is a great investment for someone looking to take control of their work/life balance and build a prosperous future as their own boss. In this article we take a look at what you should expect from the top cleaning franchise companies, and the minimum expectations you should set before investing money in a franchise package.
1) Bespoke Professional Training
Professional training is one of the key things that sets an oven cleaning franchise business apart from a sole trader who wants to start cleaning ovens independently. At Oven Wizards, we provide comprehensive residential training that includes everything you need to know to handle different oven cleaning assignments in the real world.By the time you’ve finished your training, you will have expert knowledge in cleaning all types of ovens and cookware, from AGAs, home barbecues, microwaves, range cookers and domestic ovens of all types.
You’ll know how to stay safe at work while carrying out a thorough job, and to complete assignments to the highest standard in the shortest possible time. You’ll also learn how to market your services, how to manage business accounting, payroll and tax liabilities. You’ll know how to provide excellent customer service to secure return business, and to maximise your chance of word-of-mouth referrals.
Our team of trainers are experienced in the cleaning industry and have worked with hundreds of domestic and commercial customers. Having established Oven Wizards in 2004 and grown it into one of the UK’s leading oven cleaning franchises, we have a deep understanding of the business side of franchise management, and are well placed to help you grow your franchise into a lucrative and valuable cleaning service.
2) Professional, Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Products and Equipment
Professional oven cleaning requires a toolkit of premium cleaning products and tools to ensure a fast and effective job. We set our franchisees up with all the kit they need to provide a superb cleaning service to customers, including a custom made oven cleaning dip tank fitted to your van for heavily soiled oven racks and accessories. Also included are powerful, bespoke cleaning products and protective equipment.3) Discounted Work Vehicle
You’ll need a secure, modern, professional work van for your franchise business. This keeps your equipment and supplies safe, gives you professional credibility, and keeps your working travel expenses to a minimum. Your vehicle is one of the biggest expenses when starting a cleaning franchise, and some franchisors make their franchisees purchase a van through them as part of their setup package, often at inflated prices. We don’t do this, as we like to give our franchisees choice over the vehicle that best suits their budget and requirements. If you have your own van already you may be able to use this, or you may wish to purchase a van independently.However, we are proud to offer franchisees the choice of purchasing a ‘green’ Citroen van at a 40% plus discount to list price. This means that a new, fuel-efficient vehicle could be yours for only a £2,000 deposit subject to status.
