About this listen

In Episode 2 of Clean Ain’t Cheap, Josephine breaks down one of the biggest myths in the cleaning industry: the idea that a deep, detailed, soul-saving clean should only cost fifty dollars. From personal stories to unapologetic truths, she unpacks how underpricing doesn’t just hurt cleaners—it disrespects the craft.

If you’ve ever been hit with that “Can you do it for fifty?” energy, or you’ve felt pressured to shrink your rate for someone else’s comfort, this one’s for you. Because cleaning ain’t background work. And it sure ain’t cheap.

Highlights:

  • Why the $50 quote is more than just bad math
  • The emotional toll of undervaluing your work
  • A reminder to every cleaner: your rate is your boundary
  • A message to clients who still don’t understand the value of professional cleaning

💜 It’s entertainment with truth in it—and it might just raise your rates before the episode ends.
