Let’s be clear:


$1,000/week cleaning part-time isn’t a dream — it’s math.

You don’t need a logo. You don’t need employees. And you don’t need to work yourself into burnout.

But here’s what you do need:
To stop pricing like a side gig — and start charging like a real business.

I made a full-time income working part-time hours by building a profitable cleaning business — and I still had time to ride my horses and enjoy my life. That kind of balance is possible… but not if you’re stuck charging hourly, underpricing your services, or winging it without a real system.

Let’s break it down 👇

📊 The Simple Math of $1,000 Weeks

  • 1 house/day at $200 = $1,000/week

  • 2 houses/day at $100 = $1,000/week

And yes — $200+ per house is completely realistic when your pricing structure is simple, confident, and backed by systems.

But if you’re still charging hourly? You’re leaving money on the table every single day.

🛑 Why Most Cleaners Never Get There

They don’t have a pricing system.
They rely on hourly estimates that don’t reflect the real value they deliver.
They guess. They underquote. They burn out.

Hourly pricing keeps you in a cycle of doing more for less — while still wondering why clients don’t respect your time.

✅ Want to Hit $1,000 Weeks?

Start Here:

You don’t need to clean more. You need to price smarter.

The first step?
Flat-rate pricing. It’s the game-changer that finally puts you in control.

Flat-rate pricing:

  • Lets you stop watching the clock

  • Sets clear expectations

  • Helps clients see the value — not just the time

And the good news? You don’t need to figure it out alone.
