About us
The DCBN is here to support domestic cleaning business owners and those working in the industry. Our mission is to ensure all those working in the industry are Insured, Trained and Safe.
The support the DCBN provides is offered to both solo cleaners who work independently, as well as to business owners who run cleaning companies, providing access to a range of benefits and services. These include training and professional development, supplier discounts, template documents and resources to help you grow and succeed in your business, no matter it’s size. Our goal is to support and empower domestic cleaning business owners, helping you achieve your professional and personal goals.
We have developed industry leading training, campaigned for better conditions and support at government level, negotiated with suppliers to get great deals for members, run the Domestic Cleaning Industry Awards and provided training and templates to help run a wide variety of cleaning business types.
