So I had my first issue today ever !! After a cleaning !!!! And I see a lot of cleaners on Facebook, talking about their work, not being valued and not being paid the right amount to clean some of these homes that are well lived in !!! The things the customer say when they find out your pricing or when they think that your pricing isn’t fair or what they think the price should be is very concerning seeing that they don’t want to clean their own homes and they are reaching out for people for help!! I’ve been cleaning this home for over a year but recently I told the client that I am upping my price and their house is way too big and messy for the amount that they were originally paying me. She insisted on giving me an amount that she wanted to pay me and I told her I can’t do it.!!!! That was a few months ago !!Now today she calls me asking me for help again I tell her a price!! Again she is telling me the price that she wants to pay me!! I tell her OK but I can only stay there for around three hours!!! She says okay !!! Now I’m recently new to this field, I have about a year and some change in!!! I definitely know my worth now !!! And I am learning daily !!! I I went to her house on late notice helping her out out of the kindness of my heart. She called me this morning, and I was there by noon!!! I cleaned the bathrooms, wipe the main floors, mind you this Client is feeding her family making dishes. The stove was still hot that she wanted me to clean.!!! And it was caked with food and grease !!There’s people coming in and out using the bathrooms!!!! And it’s like this every time I go there!!! Today. The kids just happen to be out of town. Usually every time I clean up, they dismantle everything that I clean and I gotta hear crying and kids running around while I’m cleaning !!! It’s a big family and they all live there together!! Usually when I go I’m taking out garbage. I’m washing dishes. I’m cleaning every room wiping every surface!!! Mopping cleaning mirrors the whole 9, But today I had to contain myself and just do the main things that was asked of me!! I don’t feel like I should go above and beyond for a huge house with a client that is not deserving or appreciative of me and doesn’t recognize my worth so I was done in the three hours!!! Usually I’m there over 5/6 hours !!! For the same low price we agreed on before !! She was my only client that pays the least!! But as I said I upped the price and she with drew her services !! I was still nice today and I helped her being the holidays are approaching !! I agreed to help her !! When I got done, I told her that her house needs a deep clean and we need to come up with a date to where I can come in and you do just those things so it won’t be so bad. !! She said okay she will find somebody !! Like she was going to find ! Anybody to clean her home for less than $100 !! Do you guys know !! once I got home whoever referred her to me over a year ago insisted on texting my phone being disrespectful saying that I am lazy. I am poor and I’m broke and that’s why I have to do this job.!!!! They said (y’all always do this )When I tell you, I tried to remain respectful!!! I was already over it because there are men walking in and out of her home they literally eat s**t and get dressed and leave. They don’t help her clean anything they leave piles of garbage everywhere. Her house is really really bad and bad shape she needs a deep clean, but she only wants to pay $140 and she thought that I was going to stay there for over five and six hours.!!! To slave is insane !!! And not for nothing. She insisted on telling me about her trip. She just came back from in the Dominican Republic. She was giving me all these scrub brushes the new gadgets that she bought to clean 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and there’s Amazon packages coming every time I’m there, there’s checks laying all over around I mean, I’m not being nosy, but you see things when you clean you clean around it and that’s that !!! When she went to Apple Pay me, I was helping her figure it out, and I seen the amount that she had her account which was well over what she could have given me !!! These people are out of their minds!!! They don’t think that we are worthy, but they want to pay this big money for other things that they think is worth it !!!!so they need to be cleaning their own homes!!! It is very important !!!! To know your worth !! When in the cleaning business !!! I am shocked and appalled!!! She asked me my cleaning page so she could make put a a negative review so here’s mine!!!! How dare you !!!! I’m so over today !!! Whew
