I am so PROUD of this job right here!!
This was the biggest, hardest, and most exhausting job we have ever had in the 4 years we have been in business. We clocked in approximately 60 hours, give or take, within a 3 day schedule.
This was a cleanup after a commercial building fire. Something I've never done before in my life. But God knew we needed this job financially and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Though this job was extremely difficult, I was determined to get it done and make this customer happy. I decided to make a choice and on the third day, I came in to help finish up the cleaning. With my health, I've been trying to be more active lately and I went in head strong and without worrying about the next 3 days I'll be spending in bed in pain, if felt so good to be back at the business I built from the ground up. It felt good to take on such a gigantic job, without fear. We were told at least 4-5 times yesterday by several different employees about how good we were doing and how much better it looked.
This took me back to when I first began this cleaning business, and how I didn't have the health issues I do now. I was determined to take on any job that came my way, which is how we were blessed with the Jetport, because at the time, it had been my biggest job. And still is to this day as far as my regular customers.
Doing this job gave me the push to want to get back into it full swing, slowly but surely. Being apart of such huge transformations have always been one of my most favorite things about owning a cleaning business. And watching the response from the customer when they see just how much work and heart we put into what we do.
We hardly ever get complaints. In 4 years, I can count one hand how many times we received complaints from our work. And most of those were customers who couldn't get a cleaning for little to nothing (even though I don't charge nearly enough for my services and probably cheaper than most cleaning companies in and around Lenoir County) or just those types that you can never please them, they're just going to complain.
But to the ones who had legitimate complaints, we always strived to make it right.
We run this business as being family owned and Christian based. We take that motto seriously.
The pictures don't do it enough justice but it proves what my point is I'm trying to make.
Not only do we put God at the forefront of our business, but we pray over every customer, commercial building, and residential or vacation home.
We're starting to get busy again. I haven't worked 5-6 days in one week in a very long time, but between this job and my Boutique, it honestly felt great to be back out there this week.
And now, we have ANOTHER cleaning coming up soon! all because of this cleaning experience here! It promoted for us to possibly be hired for a separate cleaning. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I push my employees because you don't run a successful cleaning business without having structure and professionalism. I've trained them that I want things done a certain way, and that way is whatever the customer asks, as long as it's within our quoting range. If you can't handle it, then I have helped past employees move on to other things that's more to their speed.
Because if the customer is happy, you are happy, your employees are happy, which then creates a large number of positive reviews and eventually you're so booked you have to turn clients down.
To all of you at Alsco Uniforms, my family and I thank you all so so much for this opportunity. I love a challenge and love taking on new things, just to prove that I can do it and my employees can as well. You have blessed us so much and we really pray that we get to work with you more!!
To my employees, I may not always be your favorite person at times, but I do appreciate all of the hard work you each put in and I am so proud of how good of a job you did on this. You all deserve so many blessings to come your way.
