My husband & I both work long hours & we have 3 teen DCs. We decided that to try & lighten the load we would get a cleaner. We have a four bed, 3 bath house, but the cleaners are told not to do DCs rooms (up to them to keep them clean & tidy).
So just 1 bedroom, 2 en-suites & 1 bathroom upstairs. Downstairs kitchen, lounge, downstairs loo & playroom. (Have office but I do that myself). All the house is clear of clutter & tidy for cleaner arriving).
We have gone through a company & have 3 hours a week. I’ve just got home from client’s to find they haven’t vacuumed, scum still all round bathroom taps, hair & normal crud all over floors in bathroom, including an empty toilet roll one of DCs had left. They also haven’t cleaned window sill in lounge, half mopped the kitchen & hall but not vacuumed as bits in the corners.
What is the issue? Do they not have enough time or are they just crap? (I could clean the house easy in that time but it’s my house!).
DH thinks I’m expecting too much, but I think if we’re paying someone to clean I shouldn’t have to come home & get the vacuum & cloth out.
