The weird part is people think I am there to clean the house. No, I am there to read the crime scene of adulthood. You walk into a house and the vacuum already looks tired. The vacuum is sitting in the closet like, thank you for coming. I have been trying to tell them they bought me during an optimistic phase. I have not been touched since the last New Year resolution. I do not judge people. I mean I do, but professionally there is a difference. A regular person sees crumbs. A cleaning business owner sees a timeline. This toast hit the floor Tuesday. This kid denied it Wednesday. This dog got blamed Thursday. And by Friday, the whole kitchen became a documentary. And I am read so my face does not have a customer service setting. I try to walk in warm, but my eyes are already doing an inspection. The client says sorry, it is a little messy. I say no problem and my face says, little is doing charity work in that sentence. That is the hard part of owning affordable pro cleaners. I have to be kind, professional and honest while my brain is standing there with a clipboard wearing a hard hat. People always apologize for the weirdest thing. Sorry about the dishes. Ma'am, dishes are normal. I am worried about the chair and the hallway holding six jackets, three Amazon boxes and one emotional breakdown. That is not a chair anymore. That is a storage unit with legs. The vacuum sees everything. That is why vacuums have that long cord. They are trying to escape. Every house has one room that tells the truth. Sometimes it is the laundry room. Sometimes the guest bathroom. Sometimes it is that spare bedroom where hope goes to be sorted later. You open that door and every box in their whispers. He said he was going to organize us in March.
