Got a question?

May 25, 2018

Should you clean for friends and family? And should you offer a friends and family discount? What do you do when they ask "Can you come clean my space or come clean with me?"

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says friends and family don't make good cleaning clients. Her expert cleaning tips say don't work for family. There's too much baggage and chaos to do speed cleaning and get on to the next job. And you may never get paid.

Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner (House cleaner training and certification.) HouseCleaning360 (List your cleaning or home service business and homeowners can find and hire you.) My Cleaning Connection (a hub where you can find cool cleaning uniforms.) Savvy Perks (an employee benefits program for cleaning business owners and their employees.)
