I've always been one for not having unrealistic expectations of what a cleaner can do, you pay for two hours of cleaning, you're not paying for a spotless house...
But I'm beginning to think my cleaner's doing far less than I should reasonably expect. And I'm not sure that buying extra hours would actually make any difference. I have tried talking to her about this but nothing changes.
Do your cleaners clean the toilet (I mean, actually clean it, not just squirt it with Domestos)? And do they put things away? Clutter is generally just put in a pile in the room it was in. I keep seeing things - eg the skirting, behind radiators, behind the loo where I assumed she was cleaning, and being mortified at the state of it. I've spent two hours scrubbing at the bathrooms this morning. Grime / limescale which has survived her efforts week after week came off with a bit of patience. I'd been assured it was impossible to get off but seemingly not...
She's paid £10/hour and is really, really nice. Which makes it hard to raise the issue with her, although I've tried.
