I heard yet another variation this week of the old story: “You wouldn’t believe it, but my mother always tidies up the house before the house cleaner comes; she is too embarrassed to have someone see her house while it is messy.” <\/p>\n
You can substitute father, spouse or self into there – it isn’t an uncommon story; I have heard it many times.<\/p>\n
Which brings me to my new idea for a house-cleaning franchise business. We charge only a quarter as much as a regular house-cleaner, but that’s because we don’t actually clean. You give us a key, like any other cleaner. We just pop in and have a look on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
You don’t want a stranger to see your house look messy, so you will be motivated to clean up yourself the night before.<\/p>\n
After a few weeks, we cut back to only turn up to one in every four appointments – but randomly, so you will still have to clean up the night before just in case.<\/p>\n
Our deluxe services involves not one, but two of our agents coming to your house. That way they can make snide comments to each other about your home’s state of messiness.<\/p>\n
