My beloved cleaner is leaving me to go and childmind her grandson, and she has lined up a replacement. She comes for the whole day, as I like a really deep clean every week and am happy to pay well for someone to take their time about it. The two of them have been coming together for the last 2 weeks. Old cleaner doing upstairs, new cleaner downstairs.
The new cleaner so far seems a bit crap, and I've done the floors after she's gone both weeks, and got quite dirty cloths up. She's over 50, and I just don't think she is going to suddenly develop that attention to detail that I really would like, no matter if I speak to her or not. Plus, I'm a wimp, and I know I'd play it down, and not get over all my points if I did.
Has anyone here ever successfully reformed a sub-standard cleaner by talking to them? I feel like I'm better going to the agency and auditioning someone else.......?
