This podcast is powered by Klean Freaks University.com — where real cleaners build real empires. From mop buckets to million-dollar systems, we teach you how to clean smarter, lead stronger, and scale faster.

When passion and purpose collide, extraordinary things can happen. Just ask Natalie from Peak Cleaning, who transformed her love for helping others into a thriving business right here in Fresno, California. Her journey isn't just about sparkling countertops and streak-free windows—it's about impacting lives, from her clients to her staff, and fostering a sense of community. Our heartfelt discussion peels back the curtain on the personal and professional growth that comes from a cleaning business, all while keeping the conversation as fresh and lively as a newly tidied room.

Ever found yourself elbow-deep in suds, wondering what peculiar turns your workday might take? Natalie shares her side-splitting tales of indoor poultry escapades and surprise pet pig encounters, proving that a day in the cleaning biz is never dull. Beyond the chuckles, we face the realities of staff retention and the no-joke physical demands of the job head-on, with Natalie offering up her tips for keeping healthy and keeping spirits high. You might just pick up a few tricks to enhance your own daily grind.

Rounding out our chat, we focus on the nuts and bolts of nurturing a business from a fragile start-up to a robust enterprise. Natalie walks us through the value of building a rock-solid foundation with Standard Operating Procedures, the strategic moves that propelled her growth, and the innovative ways she says "thank you" to her hardworking team. We also shine a light on the nuanced art of interviewing in today's legal climate and the creative ways to show employees they're valued—because at the end of the day, it’s all about the people. Tune in for an episode that's as enriching and sparkling as the homes Peak Cleaning leaves behind.
