Just a little update for all my lovely clients!

Just a little post from me ❤️

Running a small business isn't always easy, and lately I've received a few messages about my prices. I don't usually respond to things like this publicly, but I thought I'd share a little insight into what goes on behind the scenes.

When you see a price for one of my cleans, you're not just paying for the few hours I'm in your home. You're also helping cover the cost of all the things that allow me to keep doing what I love and provide a service I'm proud of.

There's the cleaning products and materials, equipment, fuel, vehicle costs, insurance, admin work, accountancy fees, and all the time spent answering messages, arranging bookings, providing quotes, invoicing, and keeping everything running smoothly.

Like many small business owners, I'm often working long after I've finished my last clean of the day. What people see is only a small part of the work that goes into running a business.
I work incredibly hard, and I genuinely care about every home I clean. I treat every job as if I were doing it for my own family, and I always do my best to provide a reliable, honest, and high-quality service.

I completely understand that my prices won't suit everyone's budget, and that's absolutely okay. But what can be disheartening is receiving hurtful messages from people who don't see the hard work, costs, and commitment behind what I do.

To my lovely customers who support me, recommend me, trust me in your homes, and continue to choose my small business, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more than you could ever know, and it's because of you that I'm able to keep doing what I love every day.

Thank you for supporting small businesses like mine. It truly makes a difference. ❤️

Absolutely love how my partner thinks finishing work means I'm available for private bookings. 🙃

After a full day of cleaning:

Ovens, general house cleans, an air b and b changeover, carpets..

Me: "Finally, time to relax."

Him: "Great! My car seats and carpets need shampooing." 🚗🧽

Of course they do..

Because apparently running a cleaning business means I've signed a lifetime contract with dirt, dust, stains, crumbs, dog hair, mystery marks, and now his car. 😂

Can't wait to finish this so I can sit enjoy the sun and ignore his next brilliant idea. 🤣

Absolutely immaculate experience at Smash and Slice in Bonnyrigg! The food was fresh, full of flavour, and extremely tasty. You can really tell the owner, Shahin, is passionate about his establishment and takes pride in every detail — from the quality of the food to the overall customer experience. The effort and dedication he puts into the business truly shows. Everything we tried was amazing, and the service was exceptional. Definitely one of the best new spots around. Highly recommend everyone give it a try!

Just a little reminder to all clients 💛

Due to an increasing number of late payments, all cleans will now need to be paid for on the day of the clean or prior to your appointment.

As much as I love what I do, between running my business, working long hours, and looking after my children, I simply don’t have the extra time to chase outstanding payments.
I truly appreciate all of my lovely clients who already pay promptly and continue to support my business — it never goes unnoticed 🫶

Thank you for understanding and supporting a small business. High Standards by Sarah ❤️✨

To all my wonderful clients,
I just want to take a moment from the busy days to say something that i really mean THANKYOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!
Your continued support means more to me than I can fully put into words. Every time you book with me, recommend me, or simply trust me in your home, you’re doing so much more than supporting a small business… you’re supporting my family, my kids!
Everything I do, every early morning, every long day, every extra bit of effort I put in, it’s all for my kids. They are the reason behind it all. And because of you, I’m able to keep going, keep building, and keep creating something for their future.
There’s a lot of hard work behind the scenes, but there’s also so much gratitude. I never take for granted the trust you place in me or the support you continue to show.
So truly, from the bottom of my heart thank you for being part of this journey with me and making this possible. It means everything.

Love always Sarah 🫶
