LB,
Thanks for trying to tell me otherwise.
BUT
Seeing as I have been involved in Cleaning in one way or another (owned company, employed other cleaners and have been a cleaner) since 1988 until only the last year or so (that's nearly 20 years), I'll stand by what I said and meant...
In a recession - when money is tight - the first thing to get jettisoned as an expense is cleaning.
Your wife is one single isolated case. I am talking about an Industry. And it's plain old Nuts to plonk down a substantial amount of money for a business that is less in demand when times are tough.
Yes, there are things that always sell - like Rolex Watches. But knowing of those Exceptions doesn't help you when you're getting into a business that targets general people.
Now. If times are not tough, then all bets are off. And whatever the media says is baloney - it's baloney anyway.
BTW, cleaning Always increases prior to Xmas. Always. (For those who might want to make some extra Xmas cash.)
