I would make flyers rather than leaving business cards on the door.

You can get more information on a flyer. I would also obtain insurance and get become bonded (both from any insurance agent). That makes you look more legit and people will hire you more often.

You might want to include some sample pricing. Such as Clean bathrooms, vacuum, dust and mop floors staring at $39.00 (or whatever price you come up with).

Direct mail is far and away your best bet.
You could run a coupon offer in your local direct mail magazine, if any are available in your area.
Or you could do a solo postcard mailing to the most affluent homeowners in your trade area.
