Scarborough Coastal Clean, Home and Holiday Let Cleaning

You know what I miss?

Coming home…

Making a cup of tea…

Putting my feet up with a good book…

…without feeling guilty about everything that still needs doing.

Instead, I walk through the door and see the washing basket overflowing.

The dishwasher needs emptying.

The beds need changing.

The dog hair is back.

And no matter how much I do, I never seem to make a dent.

With three children, two dogs, businesses to juggle and, like so many of you, some days I feel like I’m just chasing my tail.

The other day, I asked one of my team to come to my house.

Not to deep clean.

Just to help.

She put a wash on, hung it out, folded the laundry, changed the beds, emptied and reloaded the dishwasher, gave the kitchen a quick reset and vacuumed through.

And for once…

I got to do this. 📖🤍

That made me realise something.

Sometimes it’s not the cleaning we need.

It’s an extra pair of hands.

So we’re introducing our new Housekeeping & Home Reset Visits.

A personalised housekeeping service combining light cleaning with all those everyday jobs that quietly pile up, laundry, bed changing, ironing, tidying, kitchen resets, vacuuming and more.

Because sometimes the greatest luxury isn’t a perfectly clean house…

It’s coming home and having the time to enjoy it.

If you’ve ever wished for an extra pair of hands, we’d love to help.

Send us a message to arrange a home visit and personalised quotation.

(These can be a one off visit or regular service)

A friend of mine said something to me recently that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

She said, “Your page makes everything look perfect.”

At first, I took it as a compliment.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realised she was right.

For the past year I’ve shared photos of sparkling kitchens, beautifully made beds and gleaming bathrooms. I’ve celebrated new clients, lovely reviews and the amazing work my team does.

What I haven’t shared is the other side.

The client who wasn’t completely happy.
The clean that took longer than expected.
The complaint that kept me awake that night.
The rota that changed three times before breakfast.
The days where I questioned whether I wanted to run this business.

Because the truth is, no business is perfect.

We’re a team of real people cleaning real homes for real families. We work incredibly hard, and we genuinely care. Sometimes we get things wrong. Sometimes we miss something. But what matters to me is what happens next.

We listen.
We apologise if we’ve fallen short.
We put things right.
And we learn.

That’s the standard I want Scarborough Coastal Clean to be known for, not perfection, but honesty, accountability and a genuine desire to keep improving.

To every client who has trusted us, given us feedback, recommended us or simply believed in us… thank you.

And to my team, thank you for showing up every day, working hard and caring as much as you do. I know this job isn’t always easy, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building together.

So from now on, I’m going to be a little more real on here.

Not because the beautiful “after” photos aren’t worth celebrating, they absolutely are, but because I think it’s important to remember that behind every business is a human being who’s trying their very best.

We’re not perfect.

We’re just people who care.

And I think that’s something worth being proud of. 🤍

Today reminded me that you never really know what someone is carrying.

As a business owner, it’s easy to get caught up in client feedback, rotas, deadlines, and trying to keep everyone happy.

But one thing I’ve learned since starting my business is this…

The people who work alongside me are people first.

They’re mums.
They’re daughters.
They’re partners.
They’re friends.

And just because someone turns up with a smile doesn’t mean they’re not carrying something heavy.

I genuinely care about every one of the girls on my team, and I want them to know they’re valued 💖

Yes, we have high standards. Yes, our clients deserve the very best. But I also know there is more to life than work.

If one of the girls wants to watch their child at sports day, I’ll make sure they can be there.

If they need to leave a little earlier to collect their children from school, we’ll work around it.

Because those moments matter.

For me, this business has never just been about cleaning houses. It’s about building a team who feel respected, supported, and appreciated.

A business is only ever as strong as the people behind it, and I’m incredibly grateful for every single one of mine.

So if you’re struggling, please don’t suffer in silence.

And if someone around you seems a little different lately, choose kindness before judgement.

You never really know what someone is carrying. ❤️

When I first started my cleaning business, I got a phone call at 10pm from a man who wanted his house cleaning the very next day.

Back then, every enquiry felt like a lifeline.

I was trying to build something from nothing.

Saying yes to every opportunity that came my way because I was terrified there wouldn’t be another one.

So when he started negotiating the price down, I agreed.

Then he pushed a little more.

And I agreed again.

I told myself that work was work.

I told myself I should just be grateful.

The next morning, I turned up on my own.

What I thought would be a straightforward clean turned into one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done.

Hour after hour.

Room after room.

Scrubbing. Lifting. Cleaning. Pushing myself because I’d given my word.

One day turned into two.

By the time I’d finished, I sat down and worked out what I’d actually earned.

About £5 an hour.

I remember driving home exhausted.

My whole body ached.

I felt completely defeated.

When I walked through the front door, I cried.

Not because of the cleaning.

Because I felt like I’d failed.

I felt foolish for not knowing better.

But now, when I look back, I realise that phone call was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

It taught me that being busy isn’t the same as being successful.

It taught me that not every customer is the right customer.

It taught me that if you don’t value your own time, other people won’t either.

Most importantly, it taught me that charging properly isn’t greed.

It’s what allows you to build something sustainable.

It’s what allows you to pay people fairly.

It’s what allows you to deliver a service you’re proud of.

Today, I’m grateful for that job.

Not because of the money.

But because of the lesson.

Sometimes the moments that break your heart are the very moments that build your future 💖

If I wouldn’t have them in my own home, I wouldn’t put them in yours.

One thing that has always mattered to me when growing Scarborough Coastal Clean is who we bring into people’s homes.

Not just good cleaners, but good people.

People who are warm, trustworthy, respectful and genuinely take pride in what they do.

As we’ve grown, I’ve been incredibly careful about who joins the team, because when somebody books with us, they’re trusting us with their home, their space and often their peace of mind.

Due to expanding our team, we now have limited Wednesday availability for regular home cleaning across Scarborough.

Weekly and fortnightly cleans available.

Fair warning:
This may not be exactly what turns up at your door on a Wednesday morning with a Henry Hoover and a bottle of Flash.
Also there are definitely a few accidental doppelgängers in there 👀😂 and a couple of girls missing but Ive given up.

Deep clean for the team today on this beautiful holiday let.

These first reset cleans are always the most time consuming part behind the scenes.

From built-up grease around the range cooker, to detailed dusting, floors, beams and all the finishing touches that guests never see… but absolutely notice 👌

A lot of work goes into getting a property guest ready to the standard we expect.

But walking out at the end when everything feels fresh, clean and welcoming again is always worth it.
