Real talk — yesterday humbled me and taught me a lot. 💛
This is the reality behind some cleaning jobs. What may look like a “quick clean” can actually be hours of scrubbing walls, buildup, marks, and heavy-duty work. Every wall in this home was like this from top to bottom.
My biggest lessons from yesterday:
✨ Estimates are just estimates until the condition of the home is seen in person. Some jobs require far more time and labor than expected.
✨ As a small business owner, I have to stand firm on my pricing. My time, energy, supplies, and hard work are valuable.
✨ Some cleans are hard on the mom heart and mind. Walking into conditions like this and knowing children were living in it can be emotionally heavy.
Owning a business comes with lessons, and this one definitely gave me a few. I’m learning, growing, and improving with every job.
Thank you to everyone who supports honest, hardworking local businesses. 🤍
