    Absolutely amazing. It seems that these podcasts touch on everything that I need to hear from tips and tricks to messages I know I need to hear. Listening to these podcasts weekly is part of the reason I feel like I am one step ahead of a lot of other cleaners in the area.

  • Diane needs better audio

    I like it and have listened to a few, but can hardly hear Diane’s audio compared to Louise. Constantly turning volume up and down which is hard because I’m a cleaner and takes up too much time! Would be a lot better if audio for both was the same.

  • Informative and encouraging

    Thanks to Louise and Diane for this podcast. I’ve only just found it and am binging my way through whilst cleaning. It’s informative and entertaining. I love the tangents that you go on whilst also giving lots of advice on how to run a cleaning business. Thanks for your pricing one which I listened to just as I had given out letters to our clients. It reaffirmed I was doing the correct thing and gave me confidence to tell the clients. Thanks so much!
