Saw this post from ADHD/ASD/SPD advocate and had to shout it from the rooftops. Cleaning is labour and poverty can effect your capacity to participate, in so many ways.

We’re starting to recognise that there’s life stages where individuals have reduced capacity for paid labour. Before and after childbirth, during periods of grief, in old age, after an injury or surgery, while living with disability or mental health issues.

But there’s less recognition of the fact that these factors can also impact your ability to perform unpaid domestic work! Doing the dishes, folding laundry, planning meals, scrubbing the shower, dusting, vacuuming and mopping are highly physically intensive: there’s no shame if someone can’t do these tasks on top of all the other paid or unpaid work they have to complete in a week.

There’s so much classist, ableist and gendered guilt attached to achieving the impossible ideals of “clean” and “organised”. My goal with Bubble Butt is to help disabled and non-disabled people maintain a SAFE and FUNCTIONAL living environment. Because we gotta care for each other! ✊🏼🌈

When I launched my Bubble Butt I had NO idea how to set my rates. I played with a lot of numbers and decided the fairest thing would be to charge my NDIS clients and private clients the same rate for the same service.

Sharing this info for customers and other cleaning sole traders who want to know how it all breaks down!

Just starting out, the start-up expenses are high and the income is low. Eagle-eyed readers will note these numbers don't include Super (10.5%) OR writing silly instagram posts (and invoicing, emailing, etc, which adds up!). If you find these numbers whack, please know I'm not a business brain, just a dummy with a dream. 😌

Who is Bubble Butt? Put a face to the butt - it's me! I created Bubble Butt when I saw a need in the Newcastle community for friendly, sensory-safe, low-chem home help.

There are so many factors that can affect people's capacity to maintain their living space: disability, parenthood, mental health, poverty, neurodivergence, burnout. Everyone deserves the dignity of a functional home, and Bubble Butt is here to help.

You can rest assured your home is in safe hands: I've got a NDIS Worker Check, Working With Children's Check, Police Check, and Public Liability Insurance.

Newcastle cleaning slots available Thursday and Friday, send a DM to secure a one-off or regular booking. 📆
