NBR: Being laid-off is a good thing.....

Sazhrah · September 2011

I have decided to start my own eco-friendly house cleaning business. I had my first job today. Boy, was it a doozy!! I am so excited about this.

So maybe being laid off is a good thing since I can now be my own boss and do my own thing with no overhead or investment costs.

That is awesome!! My old roommate is the editor of a well known magazine, and she once got us a free apartment cleaning by a "green cleaning" company-- I LOVED how the whole place was clean and didn't reek of chemicals!

I was looking for one for the end of pregnancy-- kind of a special treat before bringing LO home, but never found one --- maybe that would be a group for you to market to? green clean your home before bringing the baby into it?

A potential client is pregnant and due in November. She wants to have the house spotless before the baby comes and doesn't want the chemicals. It is perfect!

I make my own eco-friendly, pet and baby friendly cleaning solutions, as well as air fresheners. I hope to market to more households with pets and kids. I will be offering "nesting" specials. It is for those that want a full house scrub down right before baby is due.

Very very cool idea. What an awesome niche. That would do so well here in Portland.

That is great! Does that mean your SPD is getting better? I would think cleaning would be hard on that.

The SPD is getting better. Definately not up to par but I noticed being more active makes me feel better. I get very sore but, no matter what I do that happens at the end of the day.
