The Busy Beee Cleaning Team

23/06/2026

After many years of being on the tools myself, Busy Beee Cleaning has reached the point where it’s time to welcome another team member on board.

I’m looking for someone who is reliable, friendly, takes pride in their work, and genuinely cares about the people and spaces they clean. If that sounds like you, I’d love to have a chat.

Please take a look at the advertisement below and give me a call if you’re interested. 🐝💗

For us, cleaning isn’t just about sparkle (although we do love a beautiful shine 🧼✨). It’s about creating calm, restoring balance, and giving you back the breathing room to focus on what truly matters — family, work, rest, life 💛🏡🏢

Today I received a message from a client that really touched me:

“It’s not just house cleaning, it’s giving people forward momentum when they’ve been stuck for so long.”

If I’m honest, cleaning houses wasn’t the reason I started this business.

But moments like this are the reason I keep going.

Over the years I’ve come to realise that we’re often doing much more than cleaning. Sometimes we’re helping someone who is overwhelmed. Sometimes we’re creating a calm space during a difficult season. Sometimes we’re helping a person take that first step forward when they don’t know where to begin.

A clean kitchen, a clear bench, an organised space — they might seem like small things, but they can make a world of difference when life feels heavy.

To our beautiful clients, thank you for trusting us in your homes and sharing your lives with us. It is a privilege we never take for granted.

And to Nikki, who received this feedback today — thank you for the care, kindness, and pride you bring to your work. You truly are a gem. 💗

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that kindness can sometimes become expectation.

As cleaners, there are occasions when we finish a little early or have a few spare minutes. We might wipe something extra, vacuum pet hair from an area that’s not included in the regular clean, or tackle a small task simply because we want to help.

Not because it’s part of the scope of work.
Not because we’re being paid to do it.
Just because it’s a nice thing to do.

The challenge is that when that extra task gets done a few times, it can quietly become an expectation. Then, on the weeks when time is tighter, the house is messier, or there are higher-priority cleaning tasks to focus on, the “extra” suddenly becomes something that’s expected rather than appreciated.

Every clean is different. The condition of a home changes from week to week, and our priority will always be the work we’ve been engaged to do first.

We genuinely love going the extra mile when we can. But those little extras are exactly that—extras. A gesture of goodwill, not a guarantee.

A little appreciation goes a long way, just as a little kindness does. 💛

Sometimes the best phone calls are the ones you never expect.

Yesterday, I received a call from a former client whose home we used to clean in Penola. Their beautiful new holiday home in Robe has finally been completed, and they reached out because they wanted someone they know, trust, and can rely on to take care of it.

To be entrusted with someone’s home is something I never take for granted. It’s not just about cleaning—it’s about building relationships, showing up consistently, and earning trust over time.

So today, Robe became my office. After finishing the quote, I took a moment to stroll along the beach, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and listen to the gentle rhythm of the waves rolling onto the shore.

Moments like these remind me how grateful I am for the connections this business has brought into my life and for the clients who continue to support us, sometimes years later.

Thank you for your trust. It means more than you know. 💛🐝

A clean home is never just about cleaning.

It’s about walking through the door and feeling your shoulders drop.

It’s about having one less thing to worry about.

It’s about creating space for family, rest, connection and the things that matter most.

Whether you’re raising a family, working long hours, or simply wanting to enjoy your home as you get older, we’re grateful for every client who trusts us to help make life a little easier.

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. ❤️

Yesterday I quoted an end-of-lease clean, and honestly, I left feeling devastated for the owners.

The tenants had only been in the property for three months.

In that time there was significant damage, stained carpets, broken screens, marks throughout the home, food left in the oven, evidence of pets causing damage, and a cleaning bill that will likely run into the thousands once repairs are factored in.

The owners are now left dealing with insurance claims, repairs, lost rent, stress, and the financial burden of bringing their property back to a rentable condition.

But here’s the part I struggle to understand.

These tenants were reportedly already in breach of their lease within the first month. The condition of the property tells a story of ongoing neglect and disrespect for a home that belonged to someone else.

Yet they have been placed into another rental property.

Another landlord.

Another investment.

Another family trusting that their property will be looked after.

At what point do we start protecting landlords as well?

Not every tenant is like this. In fact, most aren’t. There are some absolutely wonderful tenants out there who care for their homes and treat them with respect.

But when clear patterns of damage, neglect, unpaid rent and breaches exist, should that information not matter when assessing future applications?

As a cleaning business, we are seeing more and more properties being handed back in heartbreaking condition. And I can understand why some property owners are deciding it’s simply not worth renting their homes out anymore.

The people who ultimately pay the price are often the landlords who did nothing wrong.

A bond doesn’t cover everything.

Insurance doesn’t cover the stress.

And respect shouldn’t be optional.

Perhaps it’s time for the industry to start asking whether enough is being done to protect the people providing the homes in the first place.

One thing we see all the time especially during end of lease cleans? Dishwasher filters 🤢

Greasy. Mouldy. Full of old food.
And every wash cycle is pushing that grime around your “clean” dishes.

It’s such a small thing to clean… but the difference is HUGE. 💗🐝

Before you crank up the heater this winter… 👀

Check the filters.
Dust the vents.
Book the chimney sweep.
Make sure your heating is clean, safe and ready to work properly.

Because warm homes should feel cosy — not dusty. 🔥🐝

People notice more than business owners think they do.

The fingerprints on the glass.
The dusty corners.
The sticky menus.
The coffee spills near the machine.

When customers walk into your space, they feel it before they even sit down.

Clean spaces don’t just look better — they create trust, comfort and confidence in your business. ✨
