I've recently moved in with my partner and his cleaner is an extended member of his family. I've known my partner for donkeys years as well as this member of the family.
She is a lovely person, but absolutely crap at cleaning and over stepping the boundaries.
For example, I will regularly mop the floors throughout the week, when she'll come in she'll also mop the floors but won't scrub them. Therefore right now we need to scrub the floors as dirt gets in the nuts and crannies which obviously hasn't been done in years. Apart from polishing everything she does over the four hours she does once I week I'll probably do in an hour a few times a week. I'm not a clean freak by any means but I'm not a slob either.
Another example, my partner cooked us both breakfast and we both cleaned the kitchen afterwards (including hob/sides/dishes/sink/floors etc) - mixture had gone down the cabinets so then wiped the cabinet doors down. She came in, then proceeded to 'clean' the kitchen which had obviously just been cleaned. And made a song and dance over giving it a good once over.
Yesterday I came home to all of my laundry neatly folded. She had taken my laundry basket and did the whole lot but didn't actually clean the house. She them proceeded to make jokes about my laundry to my partner. The microwave/oven/fridge/floors could have been cleaned in that time she faffed around but no, that's left for us to do. She never deep cleans a room just the basic wipe over.
It's a modest two bed house with two bathrooms.
I think she's taking him for a ride (he still pays her) and he thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread.
I'm thinking of giving her a list i.e. clean all skirting boards, clean door frames etc etc. Things that aren't done just before guests come over.
