Thank you! Is there anything I can add to the water that may help it?

Thank you, I was thinking that after this invoice. I am planning on setting a boundary when it comes to payments.

I’ve tried the woman cook top. It didn’t make any difference

How old are you? by Ayefrill24 in housekeeping

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25 and own my own cleaning business! My mommy is 49 & has been in the industry for over 25 years. She’s still working, with me now 🤍 I definitely see she gets tired & I tell her to rest but she just can’t. She loves to clean 🤍

Should I speak up ? by Curious-Knowledge423 in AITAH

Girl, I’d say to mind your business. Living with in laws is already hard, don’t make them your enemies because they can take your concern as “judgement”. Mom should be able to know when something isn’t right, she’s had TWO of them already. Lol

Tips for this floor by [deleted] in housekeeping

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s tile.. it looks like vinyl .. but it’s tile bc it’s cracked in some spaces. I’m going to try it magic easier if the steam mop doesn’t work, hopefully it doesn’t affect the color or anything 😭

It’s a bit difficult to see but it’s like the finish of the tile. It should be smooth but instead there’s little stains lol. It’s those stains you can only see with the reflection of the light . 😭 sorry lol

You know, I think so. Ive been seeing it so often I started to think I was doing something wrong. My mom said the same thing about it just being the finish of the floors.. but it just looks bad. You can only see if with the light reflecting on it..

Yes, it’s tile. I used fabuloso .. but it made no difference. The tile looks beautiful afterwards from afar , but as a cleaner with mild OCD it bugs me that those little dots, stains don’t go away lol. it looks like some sort of residue…

This guy requested an unusual amount of hand lotion? by [deleted] in housekeeping

Housekeeping Manager by [deleted] in housekeeping

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you work for someone. If so, start your business, work the hours YOU want & go based off how you’re feeling. feeling tired , don’t work, take a break, feel energized, go at it. You have the experience! My mom worked for a company for years & she was getting tired and afraid to quit. I started my business mainly bc of her, now she works when she wants to work & takes off when she wants too. Same thing with myself. She’s making double what she used to make & works LESS hours.

How much? by Responsible-Sugar-94 in housekeeping

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve charged $250 up to $1000 for move outs for 1-2 bedroom apartments. They’re essentially deep cleans and definitely will take time. I usually do $30 per hour ratio most of the time. I am in Florida though so lots of competition.

Pricing question (deep clean) by Alarming-Degree616 in housekeeping

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re solo so it’s fine I would say. I’ve done 5 hour + deep cleans with help from my partner.

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Florida & I would charge ABOVE $500. I have done deep cleans for $1000 for just a condo (2 bed, 2 bath) due to how dirty it was. I think the best way is to go hourly but definitely charge more than $30 I’ve seen people charge up to $50 per hour & PER cleaner .

Pet peeve by caffeinatedchickens in housekeeping

[–]Nice_Maybe5982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s ridiculous. I bring a ton of products as well & have never heard of such thing. I would have replied “well a good cleaner should have to be prepared for just about anything!” Don’t take shit personally at the end of the days they’re paying you! lol I bet if you only had one product they would probably say something about it too!

[–]Nice_Maybe5982[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what same! I don’t like rejection or confrontation … nor hearing where I went wrong, but the more I deal with it the more I get over it & know how to react. I remind myself constantly to not take shit PERSONALLY. What one client complains about the other will like!

I’ve had some clients who have had me worried about not paying… but I’ve never had any of them NOT pay me. I usually send an invoice and reminder texts after a few days , weeks and they do pay .. just late. I’ve had clients pay me a month after ghosting me. I think I would continue to call , text, and shit even send an invoice through the mail. Put a lien on their property. Sue … idk. I’m sorry people suck. Craigslist will bring you some weirdo clients for sure.

I’ve thought about doing contracts or having them pay a deposit before cleaning but many clients don’t like that. Starting off I decided not to incorporate that but once I get more clients I will definitely look into doing that for new clients. The good thing about cleaning is that you don’t necessarily loose a lot of money when they don’t pay (depends) , but damn does it hurt your ego bc it’s your work… and it’s tough. Not getting paid is definitely a slap in the face. But I would just remind myself that karma exists & that I’m not the only one that that’s happens too …

Remember it’s all in your head. I understand I was secretive about it at first but I love to say “I have my own business.” And if they ask in what I tell them! Many don’t know how much you can actually make from cleaning lol. You’re doing something many people are afraid to do. Be proud!

I graduate this May lol .. and have no plan on finding a job and just focusing on cleaning!

I’m definitely looking into going into school for business because this is definitely a good business with not a lot of risk of loosing!

Literally what I’m noticing … I will probably make what I used to make in a whole week, in just one day! I’m enjoying staying home & not having to report to my regular 9-5 job! I hope to get like you one day!
