The young Cuban woman, Leidy Aragon, who has been cleaning houses in the United States for over a year and already owns her own company, responded on TikTok to one of the most common questions for those considering a career in house cleaning in the U.S. "Can you live well with that job?" was the question @leidy.aragon answered on social media, while demonstrating a trick to remove hair from chairs using just gloves.
On a typical day, according to Leidy, she can clean several houses, with prices varying depending on the type of cleaning, the size of the property, and the frequency of the service. "I always try to come to an arrangement with the client without giving away the job," Leidy comments, noting that you can earn very well in this business, much more than people imagine. At the end of the video, she shared that the highest amount she has made in one day, after cleaning two different places, is $1,800.
Users reacted with surprise, questions, and supportive messages: "In South Florida, this business is almost impossible because people want to pay $60 for a huge house and not only want cleaning but also want laundry and organization. I won't do it for that price"; "I can't stand when houses have hair; it takes more time than usual"; "I wish I could make $1,800 in a day"; "Do you have your business formalized? License and insurance? Because I haven't formalized yet and have had clients," some said.
Leidy, who regularly shares tips and informative content about her business on her account, concluded her video affirming that you can indeed live well in the United States cleaning houses, as long as you are willing to work hard and seek out clients who value the service.
