Do cleaners ever feel like you’ve outdone yourself cleaning?

I have been feeling that cleaning is slowly losing its grip on my life where I am showing interest in other areas of my life that requires my focus too.

My job as a professional cleaner for over 20 years was greatly tied to
My life directly meaning my income is based off my job. Without my cleaning job I have no means of income to support myself.

That was the way I use to think, until I started listening to great podcasters, doing meditations and brain exercises did my thinking start changing that I don’t have to believe that my job is the only source of income.

So I have started doing other creative projects that bring me joy and really putting myself out into places I use to feel scared to be in, but now it’s normal to want to try new things and show up for the unexpected potential too.

So my encouragement to anyone still thinking that one job is all there is, reframe it to all the possibilities you have from all the skills and knowledge you have and what you can do to change your mind.

I look forward to sharing more insight soon.

Have a blessed day.

Rupert my rescue cat

21/07/2026

It’s great to be back here. I have been busy adjusting to being a cat mama for the first time ever, it’s been two months and it’s starting to feel good.

I am still working in residential properties for my beautiful clients and every year I have come to notice that cleaning businesses go through seasons as clients go on holidays and cleaners also have breaks.

I have not been on a holiday for the last four years since my cleaning business started. Why may you ask? I know it’s crazy but that’s been my reality.

However, I am going on a trip coming up soon and will be able to share that with you all.

So given the new financial year has begun, it’s time for me to do my taxes, reevaluating my finances and operations, decisions regarding marketing etc helps me to prepare for the future.

I am looking at retiring end of 2026 at this stage however that also requires planning what can replace what must be put away.

Yes, I am excited to share at a later date that I am preparing to launch my next project that coincides my departure from cleaning later this year.

I am still serving my clients and all referrals are highly recommended.

Thank you 🙏

Greetings everyone on this beautiful blue sky Sunday morning.

Spending quality time with loved ones is a priority every chance I get so today my son and I are hitting the racecourse Sunday market after grabbing our coffees at Nam4007 at Ascot.

My curiosity leads me to ask questions and learn about different and everyday products from the stall owners that are marketing their brands.

We got to stop and chat with a variety of gifted and businesses from sunflower growers from Dalby to skin care products.

These markets are a great way to meet and exchange knowledge and enjoy also with family.

Pro Tip for today:

When cleaning a stainless steel appliance , wipe in the direction of the visible metal grain (brush lines).

Why? Because wiping against the grain causes micro scratches.

Tonight, I'm excited to share with you a discovery that's been fuelling my creativity and imagination during my daily cleaning sessions - a spark that's igniting a flurry of innovative ideas and visions for my future. As I embark on new business ventures and projects that truly resonate with me, I'm met with a mix of exhilaration and intimidation, but I'm committed to learning and growth. I'm in a transformative phase, expanding beyond my current role as a cleaner and business owner, and exploring my passion for artistic expression through painting and upcycling. This journey of effortless brainstorming has been ongoing, and today I reached a turning point, asking myself: What can I do to unlock my full potential by focusing on one idea and pursuing it wholeheartedly? Where do I start? These are questions we all ponder. Tonight, I took the leap and invested in my Canva subscription, diving into design courses that will help me bring my video and content creation vision to life. I'm driven by a desire to empower myself, to break free from the limitations of my current role and become the person I've always aspired to be. By investing in my own growth and development, I'm taking the first step towards creating a future where I can thrive, doing what I love. Empowering myself is my top priority, and I'm committed to learning new skills, even as I continue to provide exceptional cleaning services. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to sharing more of my experiences with you.

Drone cleaning high rise glass windows.

I had to stop and watch a remote controlled drone spray washing the windows of high rise building. It shows the ingenuity of expansion and innovation in the cleaning industry.
