Kiss the chaos goodbye!

Kiss the chaos goodbye!

Discover exactly how to STOP THE STRESS
in your residential cleaning business and start growing more profit, peace, and freedom.

Are you sick of struggling in your residential cleaning business?

Sure, you’re a great cleaner who’s working LONG hours, going above and beyond for your clients.

Your business is probably growing, too — and you might even be bringing in $300,000, $500,000, or $850,000 in revenue a year.

But instead of being excited about your growing list of customers and your latest jump in revenue, you’re lying awake at night worrying:

Not to mention the never-ending stress around cashflow, overhead, payroll, unexpected expenses, and what the economy is going to do next!

You thought you would GAIN freedom as a business owner, but the truth is you’ve never had LESS!

It’s exhausting, frustrating, and scary…

and so many days you just want to quit because it just doesn’t feel worth all of the TIME and the STRESS!

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone!

Hi, I’m Debbie Sardone, 
the founder of Cleaning Business Fundamentals (CBF) and the owner of one of the largest maid services in the country.

If there’s one thing I know well….

it’s the pain and frustration that you’re feeling in your business — because years ago I used to be right where you are.

I started my cleaning business — Buckets & Bows Maid Service — in 1984 and for the first 14 years, I tried everything I could think of to grow it. 

I was doing a lot of things right, and I had a big team, an impressive sounding revenue, and a fancy car to show for it. But you know what I didn’t have?

Peace. Predictability. Freedom. Money.

Back then my business felt like a rollercoaster.

One week I’d feel like I was succeeding and then the next week everything would fall apart.

I was constantly dealing with employees quitting and needing to hire new people fast.

Every month, I didn’t know if I would get a paycheck (but I still had all my bills to pay!).

I was at the mercy of my business way more than I was in charge of my business.

And let me tell ya’ something that I bet you can relate to:

I was stressed out!

What I wanted was a business that WORKED!

Where I could count on my employees.

Where the quality of the work didn’t go down the less I was involved.

And where I made MORE money while working LESS.

What I hadn’t realized yet was this:

Even though I was doing so many things right in my business, there were so many things I didn’t know to do that were working against me and preventing me from finally making the money I deserved.

What I really needed was a business system to follow that would give me the missing pieces and the right processes to turn my cleaning business into a predictable, profitable, self-running machine. 

Sick to death of struggling in my business, I hired a team of business consultants and together we developed a system that completely changed everything for the better.

This system (which we now call CBF) served as the step-by-step blueprint that helped me:

After implementing this system for just NINE MONTHS, my revenue hit the $1 million dollar mark.

After implementing this system for just NINE MONTHS, my revenue hit the $1 million dollar mark.

I also started sleeping well at night because I knew I had the roadmap to running a profitable and stable business no matter what life or the economy threw my way.

Twenty five years later, Buckets & Bows Maid Service is still growing strong with that exact same system.

We’re now at $4 million in annual revenue, with a very healthy profit. As its absentee CEO, I still own the business and profit from it, but I’m no longer involved in the day-to-day operations at all. 



My business success didn’t come from luck, hustle, or “trying things”.

It came when I started following an actual blueprint for success.

So let me ask you this:
If you had access to the same blueprint that pretty much guaranteed you would:

...would you follow it?

“When I heard about CBF, I was at a point in my business where I didn’t know what the hell I was doing but I knew I needed help. I didn’t think we could afford to join, but after learning about everything it had to offer I realized we couldn’t afford not to. One year later, we’ve doubled our clientele and our revenue, and we’ve got systems in place I never thought possible. I’ve met so many people I now consider close friends. CBF gave me a vision, a path, confidence, and the accountability that I was missing. If you’re wondering if you can really do this, I’m here to tell you that yes you can — and yes it’s worth it. That little voice in your head telling you to wait? Push past it. The return on this investment is real, but only if you commit and plug in. Growth isn’t easy. It never is. But if running your company was easy, why would you be sitting right here, reading these words?

Discover how Angel and Lynnette went from burned out and totally broke to $2 million in annual revenue

“It’s always interesting to me when people say, ‘I can’t afford to join CBF,’ because it’s clear they don’t understand how much it’s going to change their life. Lynnette and I used to be totally broke, but we found a way and CBF has completely changed our business and our lives. If you’re broke, chances are if you don’t make a change you’re going to stay broke. But if you can piece together the money and follow the program the way it’s laid out, we know first-hand that it works.”

“You already have a broken system, so what do you have to lose? You’ve got nowhere to go but up. It is possible to make your business less chaotic, and CBF is designed to help you do it. Joining the program has been one of the best decisions of my life.”
