A career as a naked cleaner isn't on everyone's radar, but one woman has raved about the confidence boost it's given her. Even more impressively, it's helped to clear her debts.
Rhiannon, 32, from Manchester, has been enjoying the nude role as a side hustle but it's going so well she's on the verge of ditching her main job and slashing her 40-hour work week to just 10 hours.
Most people get dressed for work, but the cleaning guru takes her clothes off when she arrives and navigates an array of requests from her clients.
Rhiannon said: "I love being naked and love cleaning, so it was a win-win with great rates of pay. I normally clean naked, so it's £65 per hour.
Raving about her job at the Naked Cleaning Company, she added: "In the next three to six months, I'll only have to work 10 hours for what I'd earn in my 40-hour-a-week contract with my current employer. I'm just building my clientele in the North West to allow me to quit my present full-time job.
"It's just a normal working day otherwise, but it encourages me to get up and do my hair and makeup and gives me a spring in my step.
"All my clients have been lovely and proper gentlemen. They are very complimentary, which boosts my confidence."
She explained that she is expected to arrive at each booking in "smart casual wear", but clients can request specific outfits for the cleaning itself.
"I actually enquired with other naked cleaning companies within the area where I live, but they don't carry out any safety checks on cleaners or clients", she shared.
"I felt uncomfortable that they were willing to just send cleaners into clients' properties with no relevant safety in place or checks carried out.
"It's rather a concern if you ask me. The Naked Cleaning Company has everything tied up to a very high standard safety-wise. I wouldn't want to work for anyone else in the industry.
"Other places don't necessarily know who their clients are, or their backgrounds, so how do they know you are safe after entering the property?"
She highlighted the importance of being part of a reputable business that can offer the "personal touch" like her manager and company owner Nikki Belton does.
Nikki created a very safe structured business model that allows her employees to feel body confident and earn money whilst feeling safe.
Nikki said: "The safety of our cleaners is our main priority at all times. We have many structures in place to protect cleaners.
"We are aware of companies not carrying out checks and putting potential cleaners at risk.
"This will never be the case for ourselves. I want to protect my brand so their trading doesn't impact our reputation.
"I have had to bring this to the public's interest for cleaners looking to work in the naked cleaning industry. I need to protect people.
"People's safety is so important to me - these cleaners are people's daughters, sons, partners, mums, and dads."
