10 favourite things my cleaner does for me!

How to become a cleaner that is easy to recommend!

Being a Brand and Marketing Strategist, I know a fair bit about how to make businesses stand out from the crowd! One of the easiest ways for cleaners to get more clients and prospects is to simply use their service as a point of difference. You will have customers raving about you in no time!

Here is a list of the 10 favourite things my cleaner does for me that you could use too.

Everyone loves a cleaner they can recommend – because they love solving problems for people.

So here’s how to become a cleaner who people recommend and create a referral machine for your cleaning business!

Go the extra mile and make the house SMELL NICE! Propre Skoop products smell divine  – the Propre Skoop White Laundry powder smells like something straight from Bali – lemongrass freshness fills the house when my cleaner hangs out the laundry on the clothes horse in the lounge when she leaves!

Pop some essential oils in the Skoosh Multi when you use them around the house. My cleaner asked which DoTerra oil I loved the most – it’s actually the Forgive blend, as it has a great renewing blend of spruce, juniper and myrrh. She now uses that in my Skoosh Multi dispenser as she cleans the floors and benches and bathrooms! But has also gone to the extent of noticing I had a DoTerra oil diffuser, so she takes the extra step to fill it when she’s complete and the house smells divine when I get home!

Fold the toilet paper like a resort! I have to admit this is one of my faves! I love coming home to every bathroom having a neatly folded little triangle on my toilet paper rolls! Makes me feel like I am on holiday!

Change the sheets! Changing sheets is such a crappy and cumbersome job. It lights up my body at night to feel the fresh tingle of clean sheets, especially when the rest of the house already smells like a resort!

Change the towels. Another one that makes her the best cleaner I ever had! And she doesn’t just change the towels she also folds them like the hotels do! (are you seeing the theme yet!)

Pick some flowers and pop them in a little vase on the kitchen bench! I don’t mind that they are out of my garden but it makes every second Thursday feel like Mother’s Day!

Leave a little note! I love it when she leaves me a little note with the extra thing she did this week – eg. the oven or ice tray, or polishing the silverware in the drawer. Just one extra a job a fortnight makes the overall cleanliness of the house increase! But it’s the note she writes that makes it special! Sometimes she will let me know which Propre Skoop or Skoosh product she used on a certain application as she raves about them! Ha ha!

Empty the dishwasher and put the dishes away. It’s just the little things, completeness! Oh and she also descales the dishwasher! Love her!

Fold the washing, and put piles on everyone’s bed! Ok so I get it – not every cleaner will include this in their service and you do need to pay more, but I hate washing! So this is a no-brainer for me!

Vacuum the couch. Every. Time. We have dogs, and no matter how clean I try to keep the couches, when my cleaner leaves, they are spotless and the cushions beautifully arranged and the couch smells amazing!
