Just over a year ago, I took a leap of faith and opened T. Bracken Pro Clean LLC.
As a solo cleaner, I built and maintained 42 recurring residential accounts and 4 commercial accounts across 3 counties. But more importantly, I built relationships with the people who welcomed me into their homes each week. I never viewed this work as “just cleaning.” It was about trust, care, consistency, and helping people feel comfortable in their spaces.
I truly loved what this business allowed me to do for my family.
In June, I married my best friend, and life took a beautiful turn. We packed up everything we owned and moved to a tiny town in the middle of the Mark Twain National Forest to put down roots and start our next chapter together.
What I didn’t fully realize was how different running a business here in Missouri would be. In Illinois, my clients and towns were close together. Here, communities are smaller and much farther apart, and the cost of travel combined with lower local wage expectations made it difficult to sustain the business model I had built.
Because of that, I’ve made the difficult decision to officially close T. Bracken Pro Clean LLC. As of today, my LLC has been terminated.
While this chapter is ending, I’m incredibly grateful for every client who trusted me, supported me, referred me, encouraged me, and allowed me to grow this business from the ground up. I will always carry that with me.
Moving forward, I will only be offering cleaning services through compassion cleans.
Thank you all for being part of this journey. ❤️
