To say that it’s really hard to find a good cleaner

I have tried a few times incluidng a new one today but they don’t ever seem to know what they’re doing.

me and DH have splashed out today on a deep clean of the kitchen but she had to be told to clean the skirting boards, the kitchen cupboard, the fridge and instead was polishing my kettle for about 15 mins? Also she was using viakal on the oven - it’s for bloody limescale. I had to show her how to use the oven cleaner. She’s also really bloody slow.

the last one used oven cleaner on my wooden countertops, scratched my wooden floor and the fireplace surround by trying to hoover them with a hoover I had asked her not use downstairs.

they just seem to not actually know how to clean, which products to use etc. Why is this so hard?

We trialled several before finding a fantastic cleaner. I would always trial first and never do a deep clean with someone you haven't trialled first. We saw some very interesting things before finding our current lovely cleaner! The best cleaners don't need a to-do list, they get to know your house and rotate the tasks that don't need doing every week.

And here with pics after the ‘deep clean’ of the kitchen where I specified the skirting boards and cupboard doors!!!
