To tell my cleaner to put things back where she found them?

[quesshoe]

This is a real 1st world non issue.

I rent a serviced bedroom in the city for work. The building as a whole has a team of cleaners, and I often chat to mine when I see her. Lovely lady.

There is a sink in my room. A few times a week, it is within her duties to clean it.

Being a sink, I obviously have things like handsoap, toothpaste, mouthwash, around the sides. I may put a drinking glass in the sink to wash myself when I get back from the office.

The cleaner picks up all of this stuff, and puts it on the floor benneath the sink. Cleans the sink. Great, I get that it’s in the way of completely
cleaning. But, she then leaves all my things on the floor.

Am I being unreasonable to somehow politely ask her to put the things back where she finds them?

As DelerictWreck says, why do you need a drinking glass to wash yourself???

We move most things out of the way, but some things would just always be in the way if we moved them elsewhere.

Our cleaner always rearranges them in a schmancy way like it's a hotel. Except the salt and pepper we keep in the lounge, which she obsessively tries to return to the dining table or kitchen, even though we have sets in there, making me huff in fury when I sit down to eat dinner that night, and discover she's moved the damned things again.
