Elevate Your Cleaning Career with Expert Guidance from Industry Experts With Your Cleaning Training Course Instructor, Katie Sikkema, Owner of Hollander Cleaning
Elevate your cleaning services for vacation rentals, commercial cleaning, and home staging with the online course, Dust to Dollars!
Whether you operate a residential cleaning company partnering with short-term rental owners, or you’re a college student, parent, or retiree looking to make some extra income with a flexible schedule with a cleaning gig, you can become known for your excellent cleaning work and get hired again and again.
Dust to Dollars is a self-paced, online cleaning training course that you or your team can take to elevate your cleaning skills while increasing your income. A truly clean vacation rental, staged home, or commercial space is one that is going to impress and keep your happy clients coming back for more services.
There’s nothing worse for vacation rental owners than to hire a professional cleaning crew to come clean and turn over their property and have the results be less than satisfactory. They’re hiring professional cleaners so that their rental creates a great warm, inviting and positive experience for their customers.
In the dynamic world of commercial and residential cleaning, the challenges extend far beyond the surfaces we clean. As a cleaning business, reliable and trustworthy help is hard to acquire and retain. You’re doing your best to provide excellent cleaning services, but at the end of the day, your crew might be letting you down. Your business might be suffering because you’re not getting repeat business due to the lack of professional training.
Constantly hiring and training new staff due to high turnover can disrupt the workflow and affect service consistency.
Efficiently managing time during cleaning assignments is challenging without the right training, affecting the overall productivity and profitability of the business.
Maintaining a consistently high standard across multiple cleaning and staging tasks poses a challenge, impacting customer satisfaction and retention.
Property managers that are overseeing the cleanliness and presentation of properties need and expect a high level of reliability and professionalism. The challenge is not just about cleaning surfaces; it's about creating an environment where property managers can trust that each turnover will meet a consistent high standard. The lack of a standardized training approach often results in varied levels of service quality, creating uncertainty for property managers.
Countless people are entering the cleaning industry for more flexibility in their schedules and more job security. Vacation rental turnovers are more lucrative than standard cleaning because of the level of detail and staging involved. Whether you’re a college student, parent, or retiree looking to make some extra income with a flexible schedule, you can secure a steady job with the best-paying clients if you have the right cleaning and staging experience. However, it takes industry knowledge to provide top-notch, excellent services. Without the proper training, you could be faced with some of these challenges:
Everyone can pick up a sponge, right? It’s not rocket science! But, without comprehensive professional training, you might be wasting your time and effort without even knowing it!
The absence of training may lead to subpar cleaning quality and
awkward staging, creating dissatisfied clients.
Without a standardized training approach and clear processes, you may be getting feedback from those hiring you that your work is inconsistent, or not up to their high standards.
At Hollander Cleaning, we created this self-paced, online cleaning training course because we know firsthand that achieving a high standard of clean makes your clients happy and your business thrive. If you can provide consistent, professional results, you can make a name for yourself as a premiere cleaning service provider.
This course is perfect for standardizing your team’s training if you operate a cleaning company, or ideal for leveling up your own cleaning skills, whether you want to work for yourself or get hired by another company.

When my husband and I needed a little extra income, we reached out to a vacation rental management company to see if they needed any additional cleaners. They loved our work, and we just kept growing. Within a few months, we were earning over $2500/month in turnovers. The next summer, we were doing $8,000/month, and a year after that our team was doing more than $25k/month in turnovers, in addition to other commercial cleaning accounts. We could not believe that our plan for “a little extra income,” turned into a thriving business. We created this course to provide others with the skills and knowledge they need to get into the industry and succeed. We sincerely hope these skills can help you thrive as we have.
