Residential window cleaning on a recurring schedule
Window cleaning needs almost no startup (a kit is a few hundred dollars). Most cleaners chase one-off commercial jobs, so recurring residential routes — same homes every quarter — are the slice fewer of them bother with. Whether your own county is short of them is the number on the page.

Where this signal comes from
Nationally there are 1,099,706 janitorial and cleaning services — 32.7 per 10,000 residents, counting both those with employees and those without (US Census, County Business Patterns + Nonemployer Statistics 2023). Scoutway compares your own county against that rate.
Some counties have a fraction of that rate; some have several times more. Join the waitlist to see where your own county lands.
Sources: US Census County Business Patterns ↗ (businesses with employees) and Nonemployer Statistics ↗ (sole proprietors). Every figure here is the two added together.
Recurring routes are the opening; most cleaners chase one-off commercial jobs.
A task most people can do and few want to, at a height most would rather not climb. Startup is a ladder, a pole kit and solution. The recurring version — the same houses on a fixed schedule — is what turns odd jobs into a route.
