Something happened to me upstairs at the historic Gurley Street Grill in downtown Prescott, Arizona—and I have never forgotten how it felt.

While helping with a catered event in the upstairs kitchen and bar area, equipment seemed to turn on by itself, objects were not where I remembered leaving them, and I felt what seemed like a person walk directly through my body.

It wasn’t my only strange experience there. The upstairs bathroom has always carried an unsettling feeling, and on one occasion, the water turned on without me touching the faucet.

In this haunted-history episode of Cleaning Business Life, we explore:

• The history of the Mulvenon Building
• The Great Prescott Fire of 1900
• The charred bricks reportedly reused during reconstruction
• The upstairs rooms once rented “by the hour or by the day”
• The local legend that the building once housed a brothel
• My personal experiences inside the upstairs rooms
• Why cleaners may notice things in buildings that other people miss

I cannot prove that the Gurley Street Grill is haunted—or that its upstairs rooms officially operated as a brothel. But I can tell you what happened to me.

And I still wonder: Did everyone who entered those upstairs rooms eventually leave?

If you have experienced something you could not explain while cleaning a home or business, share your story in the comments.

Cleaning companies love to say they offer add-on services—but are you actually asking customers to buy them?

In this episode of Cleaning Business Life, Shannon breaks down the difference between passively listing add-ons and actively incorporating them into your sales process. From ovens, refrigerators, windows, and baseboards to laundry, organization, pantry cleaning, and seasonal services, add-ons can give customers better options while creating higher-ticket, more profitable appointments.

You’ll learn:

• How to build add-ons into your sales process
• Why your existing clients are a valuable revenue asset
• How solo cleaners and larger teams can offer upgrades
• When to complete an add-on immediately—or schedule it later
• How to incentivize cleaning technicians without pressuring customers
• Why add-ons must be priced for labor, overhead, and profit
• How to increase revenue without constantly acquiring new clients

Your customers cannot purchase services they don’t know about. Stop waiting for them to ask—and start asking, “Would you like fries with that?”

Shiny object syndrome may be quietly keeping your cleaning business from growing.

A new course, software program, service, marketing strategy, or “million-dollar idea” can feel exciting—but constantly changing direction often leaves you with unfinished projects, wasted money, and very little measurable progress.

In this episode, Shannon and Jamie discuss how cleaning business owners can recognize the difference between a genuine opportunity and another distraction. They also explore why new ideas feel more exciting than finishing what you’ve already started, when it makes sense to pivot, and why focus and consistency are essential for long-term growth.

You probably don’t need another brilliant idea. You may simply need to finish what you started and give your current strategy enough time to work.
