Example: If I see a garage with a lot of boxes and no room for a car, I know the person is hanging onto old baggage and will have no room for their vehicle (body) to be maintained and will most likely be retaining fat deposits. I clean the homes with Miracle II products, but I mix my own little formulas into it to ensure I am living up to my ‘be green’ motto. My clients love the mixtures and are purchasing their own Miracle II products while using the ‘be green’ recipe. I provide them with refillable bottles, with my logo on them, filled with their first mixture and allow them to take it from there. I thought I’d share my process with you. Who knows? Maybe you’d like to do the same and earn a little extra cash in this economy.

1. If you’d like to add the coaching aspect to your cleaning business, I recommend Spencer Institute. Being a Green Living Coach and Mind Body Fitness Coach while offering a ‘green clean’ truly gets a client’s attention. You will get paid for not only cleaning, but also training the client toward a healthier lifestyle.
   
   
2. Purchase clear bottles for your formulas, print your own business logo onto labels and attach them to bottles.
   
   
3. Disinfectant Formula: In one 8 oz bottle mix 1.5 oz Miracle II Soap, 2 oz vinegar, 1.5 oz Miracle II Neutralizer, 10 drops Cleanse Pure Essential Oils and slowly fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water. The cost to fill this bottle is about $1. All your client will need to do is refill the bottle using the same bottle. This cuts down on waste.
   
   
4. Window/Mirror Formula and Basic Cleaning: In one 8 oz bottle mix 1.5 oz Miracle II Soap, 1.5 oz Miracle II Neutralizer and slowly fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water. For mirrors, one squirt and a damp washrag are all you need. For tough stains and whitening, add Borax to the sink, spray a few squirts of your basic cleaning formula and scrub with a scouring pad.
   
   
5. Make sure you are using reusable, white washcloths to clean the home. Try not to use paper towels.
   
   
6. I purchased a cart for the back of my bike to lug my supplies around. Mine is called the Croozer and I highly recommend it. It was incredibly easy to assemble and is simple to hitch and unhitch. Do your best to cruise to your clients’ homes using the power of your legs and lungs instead of the earth’s resources. I even purchased a sunshade for my bike at www.theshadetogo.com. Yes, I ride my bike in the dead of the summer heat and this shade makes it easy! You can even add your logo to the shade and have a sign with your biz name and number placed on your bike cart.
   
   
7. I purchased an earth friendly bag with my logo on it to lug my supplies in.
   
   
8. After every clean, leave something behind, whether it be a positive quote for the day or a flower. I always leave a ‘be truth’ and either a flower or a sample of an essential oil for my clients. ‘be truth’ are little truths such as the ones I teach on this website printed on recycled paper.
   
   
9. Create a website. Mine is www.gotthebeattitude.com. Check it out! I only have one page up, but am working on building it as I go along. Pop up the widgets on my page to get an idea of how to market your company with fun, witty words.
   
   
10. If you run into a client who already has a housekeeper, don’t try and take her/his job away. Work smart. Offer to come in and train that housekeeper and the client in being green for a one-time coaching fee. If they like you and the products, they just might purchase your products from you for the long haul. Sell your bottles with it and the formula and teach them how to re-fill.
    
    
11. Offer this service to commercial clients as well.
    
    
12. Walk what you talk. Make sure you are living green in your own home. De-cluttered. Toxin-free. Organized. Peaceful. Let your clients see you using re-usable shopping bags as you ride your bike to the grocery store. Trust me, they are watching. Ride a moped or a compact car if you must use a vehicle.

If any of you would like to follow this formula and like my company, feel free to contact me.

I am open to others around the country teaming up with me and Miracle II, using our logos and marketing ideas! After all, the more people see a logo, the quicker recognition occurs. This way I am creating my own company and brand recognition but using Miracle II as the base. If you have ideas, share them with us.

SMILE! A LOT! Let people in your town see you as a happy, joyful person.
