I’ll tell you something funny, I didn’t always like to clean. It was one of those jobs I dreaded on the weekend when all I wanted to do was relax after a long week working in my corporate job. It’s not that I didn’t like cleaning itself (oh boy, have I always loved making things neat and tidy and sparkling clean again!) but I just didn’t have the time, I mean I could barely find time to cook let alone keep up with the chores around the house. I worked in an office for a big oil & gas company and had a very busy lifestyle (not to mention a huge house). Having a sparkling clean sanctuary was really important to me so I decided to bite the bullet and ask for some help. It was either that or ask for a day off so I could stay on top of the house work, and I didn’t think that would fly with my boss.
I did a lot of research and just couldn’t find any natural cleaners around at the time (it was early 2008 when the whole eco-friendly/organic scene was only just blossoming). All the regular cleaners I contacted just didn’t give me the comfort, security and assurance of a 5 star cleaning service I was looking for. I nearly gave up and then *light bulb moment*, I offered the job to the one person I knew personally who has always done a stand-up job at taking care of a household… my mother. natural-cleaning-productsIt should come as no surprise that she works for me in the business now all those years later. Hiring someone to help clean my humble abode was the best decision I had ever made. Not only was my house glimmering and fresh when I got home from work, but it left me with time to do other things like study, spend time with my family and RELAX! Oh my, what a luxury.
What I loved most was that I trusted the person who was cleaning. I trusted her to not steal my stuff, to do the job perfectly each time and generally trusted her as a person because she’s so hard-working, caring, warm and welcoming. I vowed to make sure I kept this same feel in my business years later as trust, integrity, warmth and openness are super important to me. I can often take months to find the right people to work with me at All Pure Cleaning because of my high standards and only take on the very best, most enthusiastic, friendly and trustworthy people to the point where they all feel like my family.
Why I started All Pure Cleaning
When I started the business in 2013, because I had completed a small amount of training in Naturopathy and Natural Medicine, trained as a Holistic Health Coach and read every single day about healthy living, I knew natural cleaning was the only way to go. I suffer from dermatitis and react quite badly to harsh chemicals when I go near them, and at the time I owned 2 dogs so I wanted to make sure they too were living in a toxic-free home.
I have used ENJO for as many years as I can remember and have been using essential oils and natural products (not just in cleaning, but on my skin) for many, many years also. It was only natural to go green in my business and share my passion for natural cleaning and essential oils with my loyal clients, team members and friends. I had also seen a gap in the market for trust-worthy, hard-working, natural cleaners for busy professionals.
What makes me a little different to other cleaners
I am not your regular run-of-the-mill cleaner, so when you hire me and my lovely team, you are getting a close-knit group of people who take care of each other and our clients and as an added bonus – we all LOVE to clean! My love for natural living extends far beyond my business… Here are just a few things I love:
Yoga: I teach relaxing yoga classes at the beautiful sanctuary ‘Restful Waters‘ in Bedfordale.
Meditation: I am a Buddhist student and practice meditation daily.
Nature: I live on a 5 acre bush block in the Perth hills with my lovely husband and frequent the pristine beaches of Perth, Western Australia.
Animals: Quite often I’ll give my clients’ fur-kiddies a cuddle on arrival and can always be found snuggling up to dogs.
People: I LOVE people and I love to support them in their quest for a sparkling clean home, clarity and relaxation as well as helping them live a healthy lifestyle free of stress and toxins.
I believe in the power of natural cleaning and am a little obsessed with pure essential oils to the point where I not only clean with them but I cook with them, diffuse them, pop them in my water and wear them instead of perfumes. I am now a doTERRA essential oil consultant because I love them so much! I live and breathe healthy living and because I understand the benefits of having a sacred space free of stress and harsh chemicals, I believe everyone deserves to have the same.
