The far reaching effects of employing a cleaner who deeply cares
Cleaners who care – and how to find them
We have come to use the word ‘cleaning’ without truly discerning the enormity of what it actually means and the impact that it has. Most of us see cleaning as a chore, something that needs to be done, often rather begrudgingly on the weekend. Most of us would rather be doing something else but do it because it ‘needs to be done’.
When we do get around to cleaning, we often do it in a hurry, moving from room to room in an automated way and skipping the bits that we deem as being ‘too difficult or too boring’. We say to ourselves that we’ll dust the blinds next time, that we’ll tackle the stove later and that we’ll ask our partner to clean the tops of the cupboards when they’ve got more space; but those moments often never come. Consequently, the areas that we deem as being ‘too hard’ or ‘too boring’ to clean remain neglected, which means that we’re living with pockets of neglect all over our home.
How we clean matters
Does it matter? Well actually yes it does because something in our bodies registers the fact that we’ve chosen to leave those areas dirty and the only thing that can actually erase the feeling is to either clean them ourselves, ask someone else in our household to clean them, or to employ a cleaner.
Have you ever tried to get a teenager to clean their room? If not, then I can vouch for the fact that it’s a painful process that often involves a lot of emotion, struggle, bargaining and at worse, blackmail and threats. If you do manage to get them to clean their room, it’s often done with resentment, and a liberal amount of ‘can’t be bothered to do it properly’ energy.
Again, this arises the question, does it matter? And again, the answer is, well yes, absolutely it does. And the reason being is that the energy in which something is done is significant. Eat a meal that has been thrown together by someone that doesn’t care, compared to eating a meal that has been prepared by someone that loves the entire process from shopping for the ingredients to placing the plate on the table and your whole body registers the difference. Look at a person who has taken great care to get ready in the morning, compared to someone who has rushed to get ready whist half asleep and again your whole body registers the difference, not just your eyes. Cleaning is no different.
Enter a space that has been cleaned out of necessity with a liberal sprinkling of resentment, compared to a space that has been cleaned with deep care, a care that borders on reverence and your whole body registers the difference, even if you yourself don’t register it consciously.
There are cleaning companies and cleaners and then there is Michael and his Team of Carla, Fernanda, Maria and Fran …what can I say in a class of their own. Punctual, professional and the difference their cleaning method makes is nothing short of miraculous. My home looks and feels brand new, literally sparkling….
I had no idea how much dust was “clouding” our lives until it was removed! Home looks and feels fabulous. I only wish I had found 1800 CLEANER sooner!

Our cleaners deeply care
Did 1800 CLEANER consciously set out to attract cleaners that have an inbuilt level of deep care? No, in all honestly we didn’t. It’s only in the last 6 months that it has become apparent that for whatever reason 1800 CLEANER seems to have magnetically pulled cleaners who are nothing short of extraordinary. These girls genuinely LOVE TO CLEAN and what has become apparent is that the reason they love to clean is because they love to care very deeply for the people and families that they clean for.
As the Operations Manager I receive feedback all of the time and yet still I am blown away at the depth of gratitude that the team receives about the level of care that they are cleaning with.
Fernanda cleans our house once a fortnight and is punctual, discrete and leaves beautiful personal touches, including arranging our shelves and folding blankets and towels in a way I would never think of. The house is always left sparkling and spotless.
Fernanda often cleans when I’m working from home but is so quiet I can’t believe she is here. This is the BEST cleaning company and a shout out to Alexis who explains all the cleaning packages and checks in to make sure we’re satisfied. Lovely to have such personalised attention 🙂 Congrats to all of your for offering such a flawless service!

Incremental improvements over time is key
Not only that but the team is continually spiralling upwards; when I pass on the feedback from clients, the team often say that the feedback motivates them to do an even better job next time. It’s truly incredible to be part of what is unfolding, it feels almost magical.
I titled this article “The far-reaching effects of employing a cleaner who deeply cares”, because employing a cleaner who truly cares means so much more than simply having a clean home. To have someone in your home who has cleaned everything with a deep sense of care, who has touched the items in your home that you are going to come home and touch, with care, makes a real difference. Our bodies register vibration.
Two towels might have been folded to look identical and we might pass it off as insignificant that one has been folded in a rush and the other has been folded with love but you know what, when we dry ourselves after our shower our bodies naturally discern the difference. And you may think that I’ve gone too far now and that’s ok, I’m not looking to convince anybody with what I’m sharing but my gentle suggestion to you, is why not feel the difference for yourself, because it is only through the discernment of our bodies that anything is truly known.
