#65: Would You Rather (Cleaning Business Owner Edition), with Stephanie, Amar, and Maria

In this very special (and chaotic) episode of Filthy Rich Cleaners, we bring you poolside in Barcelona, Spain at our annual ZenMaid company retreat! 🇪🇸

 

Filthy Rich Cleaners host Stephanie Pipkin sits down with Amar Ghose, Founder and CEO of ZenMaid, and Maria Dorian, Founder of TaskAway VA and Co-Founder of Quality Driven Software, to play a fun game of Would You Rather, talk about their crazy cleaning business experiences, and more. From meth head cleaners to clients who like to micromanage you to hiring reliable, trustworthy staff, this episode covers it all! 🫣

 

📌 What We Talk About:

— If it's better to have consistent, drama-prone employees vs. drama-free, unreliable ones, and what trade-offs matter most

— Whether we'd prefer to lose a great cleaner with no notice than keep a mediocre one long-term

— The unexpected challenges of clients who micromanage our cleaners

— Why some high-performing employees might be red flags in disguise 🚩

— What to do when your team relies on personality over quality

— How to think about former employees starting their own cleaning companies (and when not to worry about it)

— Lessons from running a business without systems (and how to avoid learning them the hard way)

— What to prioritize when you’re short-staffed, burnt out, or stuck in chaos

— And so much more!
