Hire family yes or no? Quick. Don't think about it. If you think about it, you'll think about the nepotism or perceived bias that comes when you hire family. Often when you hire family it's because you're in a bind and need a quick fix. Or, your family member is in a quandary and needs you to rescue them. Hiring family includes possible fights, anxiety, tension, and disagreements. Not to mention insider information now at the front of your company. Along with other weird issues like competition and sibling rivalry. When you hire family, there are always emotions involved. And it makes firing family next to impossible.

Ep 50Second Chances - Should You Give Rehabilitated Felons a Cleaning Job?

Second Chances are for rehabilitated felons who are re-entering the workforce. After getting out of prison these recovering citizens need jobs to make an honest living. But should you hire them as house cleaners and maids? Today on Ask a House Cleaner we look at some of the reasons for incarceration. And we weigh the risks and rewards to small business owners offering second chances. Usually, innocent people don't end up in jail. There's usually a character flaw or a lack of sound judgment that triggered the sentence. That weakness can also wreak havoc in your cleaning company. Before you offer second chances to ex-cons, check out the costs to your clients and your company reputation. If you want to help an ex-con find a job, here is a list of felon friendly jobs and 136 companies currently hiring http://jobsthathirefelons.org/ This show was sponsored by Savvy Cleaner - House Cleaner Training and Certification.

Ep 49Tip The Owner of The Cleaning Company?

Tip the owner of the cleaning company? Some cultures believe in tipping their house cleaners. But not the owners of the cleaning service. Some say you should tip your cleaning specialist no matter who it is. Which is correct? Do you tip your maid even if she owns the house cleaning business? Today on Ask a House Cleaner we dig deep into the psychology of tipping. We look at ways to tip your cleaning service provider when you don't have money to give. And we'll even show you how you can thank your house cleaner in a way that is memorable and will bring them more business.

Ep 48Family? Your Cleaning Clients Are Not Your Family

Family? Your house cleaning clients may be friendly but they are not your family. They are not your relatives and you don't owe them anything other than the services for which they pay you. Today on Ask a House Cleaner, we look at the comfort zone between maid and client. And we see what happens when boundaries crumble. The House Cleaning Guru, Angela Brown discusses traps that house cleaners fall into. Clients get too comfortable and cleaning technicians can't meet client expectations. We also look at layers of guilt and manipulation. What happens when homeowners become too close to house cleaners? They take advantage as if the housekeeper was a family member. Please don't let this happen to you. This show was sponsored by Savvy Cleaner - House Cleaner Training and Certification.
