Things that have shocked me as a cleaner

I have 15 clients a week

95% use ‘disposable ‘ wipes

90% don’t recycle (I root through their bins & recycle but it’s obviously only 1 day a week)

Because the people who have cleaners are lazy bastards who don't give a shit about the planet.

Fuck you @onegiftedgal. I have cancer and not up to much right now. And I want to live in a clean house while I go through this shit experience. I do hope that's ok with you up there on your high horse.

She was being ironic.

@Catchingbentcoppers
Thanks for that. You're not the only one experiencing health issues though.
You have a cleaner because you need the help, of course that is fine.
But those who can only survive through having a cleaner and are STILL using mountains of wipes ARE lazy and the type of people who are destroying this planet.
I have no idea why non degradable wipes of any type have not been banned though.

Shame on anyone for judging how people live in their own homes, especially if you're paid by them.

Shame on those who cannot be bothered to make even the slightest effort to reduce their waste.

Shame on anyone for judging how people live in their own homes, especially if you're paid by them anyone who leaves used condoms around for someone else to clean up deserves to be judged.

@onegiftedgal I never, at any point, said I was the only one with health issues. In fact, I didn't mention it at all until your post and if you look at my previous posts, you'll see that I am one of the posters who said that I thought disposable wipes were awful and never use them.

However, I was rude and I apologise.

Tut, tut, condoms! Single use plastic!

I did hear about a distant family connection who once came to stay with my GPs and hung his, er, 'laundry' on the pipe leading up to the hot water heater...Envy

Chopin what laundry? Not his condoms hopefully?

Drying out and reusing a condom must be environmentally friendly?

Terrible bloody things. They should be banned. Along with 4 by 4s. I can tell that's gonna be popular.

I clean by 4 by 4 with disposable wipes- inside and out. I use unicorn tears as an additional deep clean product.

We can but hope . . . .
