*My job is so much more than cleaning. 💛*

I’ve always found so much joy in taking a space that feels overwhelming, stressful, or just _lived in_ — and turning it into a calm, fresh, peaceful home again.

I know what it’s like to look around and feel behind. Work, kids, life… it’s a LOT. And sometimes asking for help is the hardest part.

That’s why I love what I do. I’m not here to judge your home. I’m here to help you breathe a little easier when you walk through the door.

I’m a solo cleaner, so it’s just me in your home every time — someone you can trust, who truly cares about the details and treats your home like my own.

*I bring all my own supplies and equipment, you just get to enjoy the clean.*

I have a little room to take care of a few more amazing families:

*✨ 2 Bi-Weekly Spots Open on TUESDAY*
*✨ 1 Bi-Weekly Spot Open on MONDAY*

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, tired of the never-ending to-do list, or just need that weight lifted off your shoulders — I would be honored to help.

📍 Iola & surrounding areas
📩 Please send me a message or comment below if you’d like details or pricing. I’d love to save a spot for you.

Thank you for supporting my small business and letting me do what I love every day.

*What to do (and NOT do) before your cleaning day 🧹*

I get this question a lot: "Should I clean before the cleaner comes?"

Short answer: *Please don't pre-clean. That's literally what I'm here for!*

But here are a few little things that _do_ help, save you money, and let me focus on the actual cleaning:

*HELPFUL BUT NOT REQUIRED:*

*1. Quick clutter pickup*
Picking up clothes, toys, dishes, random stuff off floors/counters. If I have to spend 30 mins moving things to clean around them, that's 30 mins I'm not scrubbing bathrooms or mopping floors. More clutter = more time = more cost.

*2. If you want to go the extra mile - a quick dry dust with a Swiffer*
A fast once-over with a dry Swiffer on baseboards or super dusty surfaces is AMAZING. It doesn't replace my cleaning, but it saves me time on heavy dust so I can spend that time on deep cleaning where it really matters. Saves you money, too.

*WHAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO:*

❌ Don't scrub your bathroom before I get there
❌ Don't mop
❌ Don't feel like your house has to be perfect

I come to clean so you don't have to. I've seen all levels of messy — no judgment here.

Just give me space to do what I do best, and I'll leave you with a reset home you can actually relax in. 💛

Things people don’t see when you’re a solo cleaner:

📅 I schedule clients while I’m on my knees scrubbing a tub.
🧴 I track every bottle, rag, and brush so I show up prepared.
🚗 I haul my vacuum + mop + backpack in and out of the car 6x a day.
🧠 I plan every house like a chess game so it’s fast AND thorough.
🚙 And I spend the drive home mentally re-cleaning each room hoping I didn’t miss a spot.

It’s not “just cleaning.” It’s running a business, from the front seat of my car to the baseboards.

Big love to clients who respect the work. And big respect to every solo cleaner doing it all solo. 🧽💛


“Fellow cleaners, what’s your ‘invisible’ task that wipes you out?”

Hey y’all! 👋 Lori here with Not Your Average Cleaning Lady.

I just had TWO bi-weekly spots open up on my schedule:

✨ *Monday - 4 hours available*
✨ *Tuesday - 3 hours available*

If your house needs some love every other week and you’re tired of doing it yourself, this is your sign 😅

I do the stuff most people hate — baseboards, ceiling fans, soap scum, cobwebs in the corners... all of it.

Shoot me a message if you want one! First come, first served.

Back to School is ALMOST here 😅

Between school supply runs and last-minute summer fun, who has time to deep clean?

I’ve got a couple spots open before August hits for:
→ Bi-weekly/weekly clients
→ One-time cleans
→ Move-in/move-out

Let me handle the house while you handle the kids.
DM me to snag a spot!

*If your carpet could leave a Yelp review about deodorizing powder:*

⭐☆☆☆☆ “0/10. Would not recommend.”

“Owner keeps dumping scented dust on me thinking it helps. It doesn’t. Now I smell like wet dog AND fake lavender. The vacuum keeps choking. We’re both suffering.

Please send enzyme cleaner. Or a priest.”

Translation: Carpet powder doesn’t clean anything. It masks odor for a day, then bonds with moisture and dirt to create a brand new, angrier smell.

And it never fully vacuums out. I’m still finding it in houses months later.

Pro tip: If it smells, clean it. Don’t season it like a casserole. I’ve got the stuff that actually works.
