2 Cleaning Gals

2 Cleaning Gals Residential House Cleaning Service Welcome to my page 🌺

My name is Shanna and I began my business idea in March 2022, and had my first client in May.

I have been going non stop since then. I am only able to work a limited amount of hours due to living with Ehlers danlos kyphoscoliotic syndrome and SLE Lupus. But I can assure you I do my job very well despite these disabilities.
🦓 💪

2 Cleaning Gals priority is maintaining respect, honesty and confidentiality with our clients, and cleaning and maintaining the home cleanliness properly, sanita

rily while keeping it safe and as chemical free as possible. We dust, surface clean, vacuum, mop and clean up your home. I only require clients to have a clean working vacuum and toilet brushes for their supplies at home to avoid cross contamination between my clients. I provide the rest of the supplies and properly wash, clean and sanitize my own equipment and cloths. For our first initial cleanings we always do a deep cleaning. We do not just come in and wash some dishes and tidy beds. We wipe, scrub, polish and hit every surface area in your home in every room top to bottom. We clean areas that are overlooked and forgotten. For initial cleans we deep clean ovens, and fridges, cabinets, baseboards and walls, outlet and light fixtures, windows, sinks, tubs, toilets and more. We do not shampoo carpets that is not included. And most initial deep cleanings are covered between 2-3 days working 3-5 hours each day. Then if the client is going to be a regular or Bi-weekly or monthly cleaning we will add them on to the schedule. after the first 3-5 cleanings the time it takes to do the jobs will go down and it will take between 2-4 hours depending on size of the home and amount of rooms. Welcome to my page and I hope you have a lovely day




We can customize your package for additional rooms and add necessary time, or another booking for the service needed.

To all of my amazing clients—thank you. ❤️

I realized it's been quite a while since I've posted here! Life has been incredibly full these past few months, and between running my business and navigating some very difficult personal losses, social media has taken a back seat.

To my regular clients, thank you for continuing to trust me with your homes week after week. Your loyalty, kindness, flexibility, and support mean more than you'll ever know. This business wouldn't be what it is without each of you.

To everyone who has been thinking about reaching out for cleaning services, thank you for your patience! I've been blessed to stay busy with my regular schedule, so I haven't been actively advertising lately.

As the kids head back to school next month, I'll be opening up a few spots for new clients and will start sharing more updates here again. If you've been waiting to schedule a walkthrough or get on my cleaning schedule, now is a great time to reach out so we can start planning.

Whether you've been with me for years or are just finding my page, thank you for supporting my small business. Every referral, recommendation, comment, and booking helps more than you know, and I'm truly grateful.

I can't wait to help more families enjoy a clean, comfortable home. 🏡✨

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like information on upcoming availability!

✨ Hello everyone! 👋😊
I’ll be returning from vacation next week, and it was truly the reset I needed 😌
Thank you all so much for your continued support — we are currently booked for the next few months! At this time, I may have only 1–2 sporadic openings available for July, August, and September cleanings for anyone hoping to get on the schedule.
This week I’m taking a little extra time to recharge with just a few clients before returning full force next week. I’m looking forward to getting back to my wonderful regulars and helping get your homes refreshed and in order 😊
Wishing everyone a lovely and restful week! 💕

My bestie is finally coming home today 🩵💙🩵💙 it will be weeks before she comes back to work so if you want to help her $lashall1983 is her cash app..

The last couple weeks have been one of the scariest things we’ve ever gone through. What started as a hospital visit turned into finding out she had suffered a heart attack, along with serious complications affecting her kidneys and other organs. At one point, things were very uncertain and we were preparing for a long road ahead.

But little by little, she started fighting her way back.

Things will look different moving forward, and there will still be challenges ahead, but different does not mean bad. She is ALIVE, she is coming HOME, and that is something worth celebrating 🥳💯

I am beyond grateful for the doctors, nurses, prayers, support, and everyone who checked in on her during this time. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts as she adjusts to this next chapter and focuses on healing 🩵

Life can change so fast. Hug your people a little tighter today. I lost my mom May 4th and I'll forever be affected by this month.

05/05/2026

We’re coming together to support someone very special to us, Kristy. She’s currently facing some unexpected health challenges and will be out of work for the next few months.

As many of you know, life doesn’t slow down when things like this happen — bills, young children, responsibilities, and daily expenses continue. We’re asking anyone who is able to please consider making a donation to help ease some of that stress during this time.

Her Cash app is $lashall1983

If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this post would mean just as much. Let’s show her the same kindness and support she’s always given to others. 💕
