Meet Donna McCartney
Hi, I’m Donna McCartney — co-founder of a vacation home cleaning business that grew to 22 employees and $540K in annual revenue. I’ve been self-employed since 1986, and I went back for my business degree in 2019 because I’m still learning every day.
After five years of building systems, training teams, and refining every checklist, I documented everything I’d learned. Now cleaners can deliver five-star results with confidence, and hosts can protect their listings without constantly worrying about bad reviews.
Whether you’re cleaning properties yourself or managing the people who do, you deserve a business you’re proud of … without the burnout, the guesswork, or learning everything the hard way. That’s why I’m genuinely excited to share this with you.
