I'm hoping to start doing cleaning soon, and I dont drive. I was thinking of just using my bike or walk and use the customer's products and just keep it local to the end of town I live. Having said that I have advertised on Gumtree for a couple of weeks now and no response. I think perhaps I will try a postcard ad in the newsagent. I am working p.t as a cleaner in the evenings but want more hours.
Hope your wife finds some work.

Thanks - For me it's win-win cos' it will get her out of my hair for a bit and she will have some extra spending money.

Our (well her) plan was to get some flyers printed and just get them put up in local shops etc as well as leaving some on the counter.

Also she plans on advertising on Facebook too so we will see how that goes.

Like I say she only wants to earn a few extra pounds for now so it should be okay.

To be honest until I started this thread we had almost written it off because of the transport issue but now I think it's deffo worth a shot!

Hi
I have a friend who is a domestic cleaner & she says a lot of her clients past & present provide their own products as some don't like the use of aerosols,lavender/lemon scents or prefer bleach or non bleach type products.She always had a chat with them in their home before she started to establish their personal preferences.

That is a very valid point!
