While cleaning several wellness offices each week, I notice a common detail — the feeling wheel. Those colorful charts help people name their emotions, but they also remind me that a clean, peaceful space supports that inner work. Maybe cleaning, done with care, is its own quiet act of restoration.

Most people don’t think about leaves when they think about cleaning a building — especially the ones outside. But I do. After years of commercial cleaning in Austin, I’ve learned that what happens outside always finds its way inside. A few minutes spent clearing entryways can save hours of cleaning later — and keep every space looking its best.
