About Us - Rise N Shine Window & Gutter Cleaning

From humble beginnings to one of the most trusted names in residential exterior cleaning on the Mornington Peninsula and beyond

At Rise N Shine Window & Gutter Cleaning, we’re more than just a cleaning service - we’re a family-run business built on hard work, honesty, and a passion for helping locals feel proud of their homes. We specialise in window cleaning, gutter cleaning, solar panel cleaning, and pressure washing across the Mornington Peninsula, South East Melbourne and West Gippsland.

Hi, I'm Sheridan - founder of Rise N Shine Window & Gutter Cleaning. I started this business in 2018 with little more than a bucket, a squeegee, and a big dream.

I grew up in the Dandenong Ranges, the middle child of three, watching my dad work hard in his rock drilling & blasting business. My mum also had a small business. Their work ethic and determination stuck with me - we didn't have a lot, but they sure worked hard for us. I started working as a barista at the age of 15 and spent my teenage years juggling school, volunteer work, and shifts in the café. By Year 11, I’d left school, mainly to focus on my volunteer work.

At 17, I took a part-time job with a friend's window cleaning business. It wasn’t my planned career route, but I just needed something to support my community work. Since I was underage and didn’t yet have a driver’s licence, I was getting up at 3:30am to catch a train into work. A year later, at 18, I bought my first shop run from a family friend in Berwick. It started small - just 12 fortnightly window cleans - but it was the beginning of something bigger. I built it up, one clean at a time. That little route soon became 35+ shops on a regular schedule. I kept working for my employer while building this small income on the side.

I soon accepted a new role with a window cleaning company based on the Mornington Peninsula. But not long after in 2020, when COVID hit, I was unfortunately let go. My small shop run in Berwick was all I had. My car had just been written off, and I was living out of home, 21 years old, newly married, trying to make ends meet. To make it harder, my husband was on apprentice wages at the time. We were really doing it tough.

So I did what I knew how to do: work hard and build something from nothing.

Over the next year - through lockdowns, tough regulations, health issues, and countless challenges - I grew my own residential window cleaning business in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne, servicing areas like Narre Warren North, Berwick, Dromana, Mount Eliza, and Rye. I added gutter cleaning and solar panel cleaning to meet local demand. A year later, in 2021, I hired our first team member. In 2022, I expanded further into the Mornington Peninsula, where I had family ties, and purchased another commercial shop run in Dromana - about 30 shops along Nepean Highway that we still clean every week.

By 2023, we’d grown to a small but mighty team of four - and then something unexpected happened. I was offered the chance to buy the very business that had once let me go during COVID. With a sense of gratitude and a lot of excitement, I took the leap. It was a full-circle moment and a huge step for our team. No hard feelings; just gratitude and growth.

Today, Rise N Shine has expanded into pressure washing, home care cleaning, and NDIS-compliant cleaning services for vulnerable individuals across Victoria. We now serve thousands of residential and commercial clients throughout the Mornington Peninsula, South East Melbourne, and West Gippsland, delivering honest, reliable, high-quality work.

In 2024, I was honoured to be nominated for the Top 25 Under 25 Entrepreneurs in Australia. Contributing to that nomination were two other businesses I launched in recent years:

- Organisation Station – selling home organisation products. Established 2021. www.organisationstation.com.au

- Clean Car Hire – hiring out carpet/upholstery cleaning machines. Established 2023. www.cleancohire.com.au

Today, I live in West Gippsland with my husband and our two dogs, running the businesses with the same hands-on passion that built them. I feel incredibly privileged to maintain a regular share in the volunteer work that’s always been close to my heart.

So, why do we do it?
Because we believe everyone deserves to feel proud of their home.
Whether it’s a sunny Mornington Peninsula beach house or a small unit in Berwick, we show up with respect, integrity, and elbow grease — just like we always have.
