  • CBL Episode #125 The Air Conditioning Debate: Client Comfort vs. Cleaner Safety
    2025/08/02

    Ever had sweat dripping into your eyes while cleaning a client's home who insists "it's not that hot"? Shannon and Jamie tackle the critical but often overlooked issue of maintaining proper air conditioning during cleaning services - not just for comfort, but as a matter of safety and professional standards.

    Heat stroke presents a serious health risk for cleaning professionals, making workers permanently more susceptible to recurrence after the first incident. Shannon shares her systematic approach to client communication, beginning with friendly reminders in April before gradually establishing clear expectations that thermostats should be set between 70-73 degrees during service. The hosts explore practical solutions for handling resistant clients, from early morning scheduling to implementing cancellation fees equal to the full cleaning cost for non-compliance.

    The conversation delves into smart strategies for protecting both cleaners and clients, including taking time-stamped photos of thermostats upon arrival and departure to prevent disputes about energy usage. Jamie and Shannon also discuss parallel issues like client expectations around tidying before cleaning and maintaining reasonable rates that reflect market value, revealing how these boundaries directly impact business profitability.

    What emerges is a masterclass in professional boundary-setting that benefits everyone. By approaching temperature requirements as non-negotiable safety standards rather than personal preferences, cleaning business owners can maintain team welfare while building healthier client relationships. Ready to stop paying for the privilege of cleaning someone's home? This episode provides the practical tools and confidence to implement policies that protect your team and your bottom line.

  • CBL Episode #124 Samantha Muncuso-From Toilets to TikTok: A Cleaning Influencer's Journey
    2025/07/26

    Ever wondered what happens when a cleaning professional with a quirky sense of humor finds her voice on social media?

    Samantha Mancuso takes us on a delightful journey from sworn teenage resistance to the cleaning profession ("I don't want to scrub anybody's toilets!") to becoming a viral cleaning influencer with over 300,000 TikTok followers.

    The path wasn't straightforward.

    After stints as a dental lab technician and school lunch lady ("the best, worst job I've ever had"), Samantha impulsively ordered business cards on her lunch break in 2015 and launched her cleaning business. Her social media presence began as a mental escape during her mother-in-law's cancer treatment, initially featuring just her hands cleaning surfaces.

    As she gradually became comfortable on camera, her authentic personality and practical cleaning advice resonated with viewers.

    What makes this conversation special is Samantha's passionate advocacy for solo cleaners. "I never want anybody to look at the solo cleaner like they're just some Betty with a bucket," she declares, challenging the perception that solo operations are merely side hustles.


    She shares how professional solo cleaners can earn substantial incomes while maintaining the flexibility to prioritize family commitments.

    Behind the scenes, Samantha balances content creation with maintaining high standards for her clients, filming in their homes with permission while respecting their privacy. She's transparent about the realities of social media monetization, acknowledging it's not consistent enough to replace her cleaning income. Her commitment extends to supporting small, family-owned businesses in the cleaning industry, using her platform to elevate others alongside herself.


    Ready to connect with a cleaning influencer who keeps it real? Listen now and discover why authentic voices like Samantha's are transforming the cleaning industry's image and inspiring professionals to take pride in their essential work.

  • CBL Episode#123 R-E-N-G-O-T-I-A-T-I-O-N... after the fact!
    2025/07/19

    Pricing mistakes can cost your cleaning business thousands of dollars and countless hours of frustration. In this candid discussion, we break down a real-world example of a cleaning professional who found themselves working for less than $10 per hour after failing to properly communicate their pricing structure.

    The cleaning industry is booming with new entrepreneurs, but many struggle with the crucial skill of setting clear expectations from the start. We examine how vague initial quotes, lack of proper contracts, and the absence of deposit requirements can lead to painful financial lessons. When a cleaner quoted a maintenance rate of $250-300 but only vaguely mentioned the deep clean would be "higher," they set themselves up for disappointment when the client simply left $250 on the counter after 21+ hours of work.

    We share practical strategies for avoiding this common trap, including implementing non-negotiable deposit requirements, creating time-limited quotes, clearly differentiating between maintenance and deep cleaning rates, and utilizing proper contracts or digital agreements. As seasoned professionals, we emphasize that confidence in your service value is essential - remember that clients called you because they need your expertise.

    Perhaps most importantly, we stress that proper business systems need to be in place before you begin serving clients. While it may feel uncomfortable to discuss money or require deposits, especially for people-pleasers, these boundaries are what separate sustainable businesses from those that struggle. Whether you're a solo cleaner or running multiple teams, these foundational business practices will help you build a cleaning business that's both respected and profitable.
