Would you let the cleaner wash your dishes

[mengatur]

Currently on holidays, in a 5* self catering apartment.

A couple of mornings the cleaner has come right after breakfast when I am putting suncream on ready for the beach. After I do the suncream, I was the dishes.

However, when the cleaner comes she INSISTS on cleaning them. I feel bad, as it’s my mess, so I obviously expect to tidy it up after myself. SIL who is with us, said that’s normal and that her cleaner at home washes up the dishes if they are lying about etc.

If I leave a glass or coffee cup in the sink because the dishwasher has run overnight and I don’t have time to empty it before work but want a drink in the morning, the cleaner always washes it up. I think this is fairly normal as long as it’s not a disgusting pile of last night’s dirty dishes.

I your circumstance, on holiday, I would definitely let the cleaner do the dishes.

At home I've never left dishes for the cleaner. Partly because we just throw them in the dishwasher but mainly because she's only here for 2 hours and I wouldn't want that to eat into her time.

Leave her a tip at the end as a thank you.
I think it is part of the job if they are there. In my youth without the wisdom of consideration we made scrambled egg the pot was destroyed we left it on the balcony for 2 days, when we came back from the beach the pot was spotless, it must have took some elbow grease.
I did leave a tip as a thank you but decided never to be such an arse again.
