Eco-Friendly Cleaning Services - Cleaning Naturally

Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Genevieve Boileau, Owner of Cleaning Naturally, located in Halifax, NS, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Cleaning Naturally is a Halifax-based eco-friendly cleaning company that serves all of the HRM. We help busy families with the gift of cleaning and time.

Tell us about yourself

I've always loved to clean and had worked for an amazing cleaning company out west before I worked in the oilfield. When we decided to make the move out East, I thought there was no better time than now to open up a cleaning company. I had looked around, and from my knowledge, there was only one other eco-friendly cleaning company in the city, so this was my chance. What motivates me is knowing that we are helping people balance their day-to-day life while keeping their family and fur babies in mind during cleaning time with our eco-friendly products.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I would say my biggest accomplishment as a business owner is my team because, without them, we wouldn't be who we are today.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Staffing is by far the number one struggle out there. It's very hard to get people to want to work or to even show up for interviews.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Never stop advertising if you want to grow your clientele or your team.
  2. Take it one day at a time, some times you just need to roll with the punches.
  3. Don't give up!
