Savannah Hall, along with the other “divas,” wear face masks with red lipstick when cleaning client’s homes.

She worked in Fairhope, Alabama for eight years doing this before moving to Nashville, Tennessee.

While living in Nashville, Williamson began to clean in the evenings and on the weekends in order to have money to enjoy Nashville’s live music scene. She mostly cleaned people’s homes and completed any other odd jobs that were needed.

“I got to know the families I cleaned for,” Williamson said. “That enabled me to invest into my business.”

Six months into cleaning houses, Williamson decided on starting her business. In May of 2014, Southern Domestic Divas was born.

Her business started out of her double garage in Nashville, but over time she transitioned to a commercial building.

Six years later, Williamson’s business has two branches, with one in Nashville and the other in Monticello. While she isn’t personally cleaning houses, she still has many of the same clients, along with new ones.

“I’ve come a long way,” Williamson said. “They’ve been with me for six years.”

For Williamson, cleanliness isn’t simply having a tidied up space. It’s more than that.

“Cleaning is more of having an organized mindset,” Williamson said. “I think life is all about balance and having a clean, organized home helps you balance that.”

When it comes to a clean space, there’s nowhere she would rather be.

“I think there’s no better feeling in the world,” Williamson said. “You can be relaxed, it’s like an oasis.”
