I’m a domestic cleaner & these are my ‘red flag’ clients – and if you follow me around the house I’m bound to hate you | The Sun

A CLEANING fan has confessed the five things she considers to be ‘red flag’ by her clients. 

As the owner of a cleaning business the content creator said her ‘bad’ clients only made her job more stressful.


The Essex based cleaner who goes by @cleansbymrsfinch on TikTok has listed the worst things some of her clients have ever done. 

Firstly the cleaning fan said she hates clients that follow her around the home whilst she is trying to work. 

Stating it makes her nervous, the cleaning fan said she was more likely to make a mistake if her clients were doing this. 

She said: “It’s not helpful as it puts you on edge and ultimately I’m going to make mistakes with you following me.”

Next the cleaning fan said she hates when her clients bring up what their last cleaner did.

She said: “This really gets to me, if you were happy with your last cleaner you would still have them.”

The cleaning fan also said adding extra jobs is a red flag. 

The line she hears most often is ‘it just needs a quick wipe over’.

She said: “Please don’t tell me how to do my job. Every house is different and it will take a different amount of time.”

She added: “I’m not going to rush because you only want two hours. I also think if it only took an hour to do the full house why would you pay me and not do it yourself.”

Lastly the cleaning fan hates when people try to manipulate her into reducing her hourly rate. 

She says people say: ‘Your hourly rate is high, if I supply my own products can we reduce the rate?’

She confessed: “Major red flag for me. My rates are set based on skills required, insurance, product, time. I’m here to make a living.”

The cleaning fan said she was happy to have only ‘green flag’ clients now. 

She said: “I'm so lucky that all my clients now are so lovely but it took a lot of bad ones to get to where I am now.”

The cleaning fans video gained over 155,000, many others chimed in to shared their red flag client stories. 

One user confessed: “I'd follow you around apologising for the mess and hoping you weren't secretly judging me.”
