FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is very simple and flexible. I discount an ongoing or regular project (like bi-weekly), for instance. If you refer someone for my services, I also give a client a 10% discount.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I do read online journals and sites, as well as books and magazines, on the subject of more efficient, less toxic, and most effective cleaning products. I also do some light reading on gardening, and work with local organizations related to composting and ecology, which helps with some of the outdoor projects we do. We also grow our own veggies, flowers, and plants.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I entered housecleaning as a way to support me and my young son at a time when he needed a lot of extra assistance with school and at home. The work allowed me to make good money, set my own hours, display my tough work ethic, and to be available to my son when he got home from school or when he needed me. I've always had a penchant for cleaning! I took on yard work as a side project that employs my love of the outdoors, nature, and physical activity.
