ADHD-Friendly Cleaning
Does cleaning feel impossible? Do you get overwhelmed before you even start? Does the guilt about your “messy” home weigh on you constantly?
I get it. Because I’ve been there.
This isn’t regular cleaning service. This is cleaning support designed specifically for ADHD brains - flexible, judgement-free, and focused on what actually works.
What Makes It “ADHD-Friendly”?
Traditional cleaning services show up, clean, and leave. That’s great if you can maintain things between visits. But if you have ADHD, you know it’s not that simple.
ADHD-friendly cleaning means:
Body Doubling
Sometimes you CAN clean - you just can’t START. I provide body doubling support: I’m there, working alongside you, making it easier for your brain to engage.
Flexible, Not Rigid
Bad brain day? We adjust. Can’t face the kitchen? We’ll start elsewhere. This isn’t about following a strict schedule - it’s about working with your brain’s capacity on any given day.
Breaking Down Overwhelm
“Clean the house” is paralyzing. “Let’s start with clearing the kitchen bench” is doable. I help break tasks into manageable chunks.
Shame-Free Zone
You haven’t cleaned in weeks? The dishes have been there for days? Your bedroom floor is covered? Zero judgement. I understand this is ADHD, not laziness.
Building Sustainable Habits
We don’t just clean - we build systems and routines that work for ADHD brains. Simple, visual, minimal-step solutions.

What Clients Say
“Jayne is the first person who didn’t make me feel like a failure for struggling with cleaning. She just gets it.”

The Reality Check
This won’t “cure” your ADHD. Your home won’t suddenly become immaculate and stay that way forever.
But it WILL:
- Reduce the overwhelm
- Break the shame cycle
- Give you breathing room
- Help you build sustainable (not perfect) routines
- Make your home feel less chaotic
And honestly? That’s huge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis? No. If you struggle with executive function and these challenges resonate, this service is for you.
What if I’m embarrassed about the state of my home? I’ve seen it all. Truly. There is nothing that will shock me, and zero judgement here.
Can I just have you clean while I do something else? Absolutely! Body doubling isn’t compulsory. If you want traditional cleaning, that’s fine too.
What if I cancel last minute? Life with ADHD is unpredictable. I have a flexible cancellation policy. Let’s chat about what works.
Will you tell me I’m lazy or need to just try harder? Never. I understand this is neurological, not motivational.
