Melissa Maker wears many hats. She's a YouTube star, author of a new book (out today!), and the founder of a boutique cleaning service in Toronto. Through years of cleaning other people's spaces, she's discovered the best ways to clean her own—and she's sharing some of her best tips with Apartment Therapy.
The shoemaker's kids never have new shoes. When I first started cleaning professionally, my number one goal was to make someone else's home look and feel absolutely perfect—my clients had hired me to do the things they didn't want to or have time to do. Through my work I was able to grow my skillset and become extremely proficient at cleaning, but by the time I'd get home I couldn't scrub another shower or vacuum another floor. I was toast — wine and TV, please. I still wanted a clean space, though, so I needed to find a middle ground. I decided to focus on what really mattered to me and forget the rest (most of the time). And that's how the concept of an MIA was born.
