The State of US Cleaning Demand

Most cleaning businesses guess where demand is. It's actually in public records — the moment someone buys a home, registers an Airbnb, or gets cited for unsanitary conditions. Here's what BellAveGo is tracking right now.

The 3 signals that predict a cleaning job

New movers. A homeowner who just closed on a house books a move-in deep clean within weeks and has no incumbent cleaner. Sourced from public sale records.

Short-term-rental hosts. Cities publish STR registries. An active host needs a turnover clean after every booking — recurring revenue for years. We track 3,558 active hosts.

Unsanitary-condition citations + renovations. City code citations for unsanitary conditions carry compliance deadlines; finished renovation permits mean dust-filled homes. Both are documented, motivated cleaning jobs.
