That Stinks - Cleaning Supplies That Sme...

Angela Brown the House Cleaning Guru
About this episode

"That stinks." Do you have cleaning supplies that smell bad? Do your customers hate the horrible smelling cleaning detergents you're using? Are you using vinegar for cleaning? Because that stinks.

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says "I hate the smell of vinegar, but I use it because it's non-toxic and does a great job to clean my space.

If a customer says "That stinks." Then it does to them.
It would be nice if a customer would say "The house smells amazing rather than the house smells awful." But if the odor of cleaning supplies is their concern, it's time for a change.

Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsors are Savvy Perks (employee benefits for small business owners.) HouseCleaning360 (List your business, find some customers.) Savvy Cleaner Training (for house cleaners and maids.) And My Cleaning Connection (a resource hub for all things cleaning.)
