My journey began with a five-day training that taught me the basicsābut letās be honest, experience has been the real teacher. After all, no course can prepare you for the creative ways dirt and grime find to test your patience! Cars were the perfect place to start. Between plastics, upholstery, glass, leather, and the dreaded piano black surfaces (which somehow scratch just by existing), every vehicle presents a new challenge. You quickly learn to master a variety of materialsāand maybe develop a healthy respect for microfiber cloths. Over the years, Iāve attended additional trainings, but the standout was leather cleaning and restoration with Colourlock, the industry leader. That course didnāt just refine my techniqueāit gave me a deeper appreciation for the craft. When COVID hit and meeting customers wasnāt an option, I pivoted to property cleaning and disinfectionāskills I continue to apply today. Now, in 2026, Iām ready to share the knowledge Iāve gained over the years. This page exists for that very reason: to offer insights, tips, and maybe a few stories from the frontlines of cleaning. After all, if you can handle piano black surfaces, you can handle anything!
