Myth #1: You need to be a tech whiz to start a cleaning podcast.

Myth #2: Floor care in nursing homes is all about using the fanciest products.

Myth #3: Switching jobs in the cleaning biz is a sign you’re failing.

Trust me, the real story is way more interesting—stick around and I’ll share what actually works (and it’s not what you think).
