Have you been struggling financially?
Want to know the biggest difference between the rich and the poor?
For over a decade, I’ve been running house cleaning services for people across all income levels — from luxury homes to one-bedroom flats. What I observed changed not only the way I see people, but the way I live my life.
And the difference?
It starts with something as simple as how they clean.
💡 The Rich vs. The Poor – Through the Eyes of a House Cleaning Service provider
The Rich
When I visit wealthy homes through my house cleaning services, they are consistently spotless.
Minimal clutter. Organized closets. Items are only kept if they’re useful or meaningful.
🛏️ Bedrooms are pristine — beds are made daily, and bedside tables are nearly empty.
🛁 Bathrooms always have a towel or squeegee nearby, and every shower is followed by wiping down water.
🍽️ Kitchens are tidy, dishes are either washed or in the dishwasher, and fresh flowers often brighten up the space.
🌿 Gardens are regularly maintained by professionals and look like magazine spreads.
Sometimes, I joke to myself,
“Do they all have a mild case of cleaning OCD?” 😅
That level of attention isn’t accidental — it’s habitual.
Of course, I’m not saying they have a clinical condition — but the discipline and consistency in how they maintain their space is no joke.
Honestly, at this point, it feels like I’m not offering house cleaning services, but house maintenance services.
The poor
By contrast, lower-income homes show a different lifestyle.
🧺 Clutter piles up.
🐾 Pet hair covers furniture.
🧱 Food splatter and cobwebs linger on walls.
🛏️ Beds are unmade, and bedside tables are overflowing with random items.
🛁 Bathrooms often have blocked drains, mould, and heavy soap scum buildup.
🍳 Kitchens are sticky, greasy, and often smell.
🌿 Gardens are overgrown, and old, broken items sit in corners.
These homes rarely have ongoing house cleaning services.
Sometimes we’re called in for deep cleaning service or vacate cleaning service — but regular maintenance isn’t part of the routine, even if money is available.
And that, I believe, is the deeper issue: it’s not just about income — it’s about habits.
🧽 How Cleaning Changed My Life
After observing hundreds of homes during my house cleaning services, I began changing my own lifestyle.
I cleaned my own house regularly.
I stopped hoarding.
I wiped the bathroom dry after every shower.
I even wash my van every two weeks.
People may joke, “Cleaners don’t clean their own homes,” but I made it my mission to prove them wrong.
🚀 The Results?
Life-changing.
As my environment became cleaner, my thinking became clearer.
I attracted better clients, grew my business, and became financially stable.
And I believe you can do the same.
🎯 Final Thoughts
If you want to change your life, start with your space.
Organize it. Clean it. Keep it.
Cleaning won’t make you rich – but it’s where getting rich begins.
