Merry Maids – The Domestic Cleaning Franchise

Merry Maids is part of the ServiceMaster group and a leader in the home cleaning service industry which is worth more than £4.7 billion.

A Merry Maids domestic cleaning franchise is a fantastic business opportunity, operating in a multi-billion-pound industry. This market is set to grow, and with more than 26.4 million homes in the UK, there’s a great deal of potential homes that need cleaning!

Who Are We? What Do We Do?

Merry Maids was established almost 40 years ago and operates internationally. In the UK we have almost 100 franchised businesses operating under license and in territory. Merry Maids is part of the ServiceMaster family of brands.

Employed teams of maids provide regular and one-off, spring cleans and end of tenancy cleans, following the Merry Maids’ cleaning systems, using our unique products to homes within your specially selected and unique territory.

Why Choose Merry Maids?

Choosing a franchisor to partner up with can be a tough decision, and we understand that. You may have already chosen an industry, a trade or a solution and be looking for a franchisor for a ‘best fit’. Interestingly, many of our franchisees didn’t actually choose domestic cleaning before their franchise journey, they chose us as a franchisor to work with.

Confidence in a franchisor you partner up with is key and for your peace of mind, ServiceMaster have been franchising for almost 60 years and have over 700 franchised units across the UK operating under 5 fantastic brands.
