How to Make Extra Money Cleaning Houses


Gather your essential cleaning supplies. While many customers will provide the cleaning tools for you, such as a vacuum cleaner, you'll want to have items on hand anyway. The basic cleaning toolkit should include a mop, broom and dishpan, dust wand or cloth, vacuum cleaner, paper towels and cleaning products. The main cleaning products are dust spray, window cleaner, carpet spot-treatment spray, bleach and all-purpose anti-bacterial spray. These tools should cover most cleaning areas, including living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, windows and mirrors, and floors.
Set your pricing structure. You can choose between charging by the hour, by the room or by the home. Research the market rate for local cleaning services by looking up rates on other cleaning business websites, or by calling your competitors and acting like a prospective customer. You also might want to break down your prices by the actual type of cleaning service. For example, if your customer wants you to steam clean her carpets, and you have to rent the machine to do so, this type of service should cost more than regular vacuuming.
Decide upon your cleaning hours and schedule. If you have other commitments, such as school, a full-time job or kids, then you don't want to overbook yourself. You should reserve specific days and time slots that will be available for your part-time cleaning gig. For example, you can reserve Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Saturday afternoons for cleaning jobs.
Create your customer base. Reach out to friends, family members and co-workers and let them know that you're looking to find cleaning work on a part-time basis. Call local nonprofit organizations, such as women's shelters and churches, to find out if they have any cleaning needs. If you don't have any leads from any of these groups, consider calling an established cleaning service and applying for part-time work. You can also post your services on free online job boards, as well.

How to Earn The Purple Daisy Petal


The purple Daisy petal is the part of the Girl Scout law that means to 'Respect Myself And Others.' This is a very important lesson for girls to learn.
Read to your troop the book 'I'm Gonna Like Me' by Jamie Lee Curtis. I love this book! This is a great book about self-esteem teaching girls to like themselves despite differences.
Do a craft with the girls and make 'girls are great' mirrors. Cut foam into a daisy shape, then cut a hole in the middle - this will be the frame for the mirror. Glue the mirror to a solid piece of foam then glue the foam frame around it. Glue a magnet on the back side. Glue word bubbles around the frame with sayings like 'I'm a nice person,' 'I'm a good friend,' 'I have pretty eyes' etc. Every time the girl looks into to mirror she'll have reminder thoughts of self-respect.
