Tidying up after the cleaners

[Isaidmaybeee]

Is this normal?

I have two cleaners come for two hours, so pay for four hours in total.
My house is tidy and everything in its place, I just hate and don’t have time to do mopping, windows, oven etc etc
My parents are staying with us for a short holiday. When we came back today, everything was very clean as always, but their room had the carpet on the bed, pillows on the bed (supposed to be on the floor-it’s my Dds room and she has a little reading corner etc) All clearly been cleaned but things thrown everywhere, we’ve just spent time tidying up

Is this normal?!

Carpets on the bed is disgusting. They would not be allowed back.

Please don't put your dog at risk again. They sound terrible.

Op sounds as annoying as their brand new username said out loud

Can't understand people saying you're petty.

Absolutely not petty. Carpets on a bed is unhygienic and dog could have run off/been run over.

@Blondewithredlips I assume OP means rig on bed, because how the fuck do you put a carpet on bed? But why is a rug unhygienic? It's in a child's bedroom, who isn't I assume wearing shoes, or shitting on it?

Do you think they were making a point as in please leave this stuff on the bed before we clean as it's easier that picking it all up first?

We’re saying the stuff on the bed is petty, not the dog.

A rug is for the floor not on the bed. Disgusting.

The dog is the issue, I think. But I’d just mention it to them rather than report it if they’re normally good.

It doesn’t even look like a rug, more like a throw.
Definitely not a carpet, more exaggeration 🙄

@Blondewithredlips it really is a non issue, it's not disgusting

Well I don't have a cleaner but if I did I wouldn't be impressed to come back to that. The gate open is totally unacceptable.

We pay for my dads cleaner as hes 89 and they are fantastic.

She’s just replied back to me apologising saying it’s new cleaners

Not petty at all. You're paying for a service to be delivered to a certain standard. Well done for being assertive.

Also, rugs are meant for the floor, I wouldn't have one on my bed even temporarily.

Obviously we have different ideas about hygiene eeewww

Agree about the rug it should never be on the bed!

Not petty you pay and that's it!

No this would annoy me and I wouldn’t expect this. For context, our cleaners make the bed and pick things up off the floor and put away nicely.

Isn't it just to demonstrate that they hoovered under them and not around them?

Agency cleaners? They're in a rush to get to their next job. They're probably earning min wage absolute maximum.

My cleaner (who I now employ directly) was paid below NMW and she was considered self employed by them. A lot of the agencies are absolute crooks who exploit women

What a disgusting thing to say. My children are fine. I have no issues but expect rugs to stay on floors and not beds. It is unhygienic

@Blondewithredlips I mean germs germs germs, a rug on a bed, we will all cat h something disgusting, how will we all survive.... the germs!

What will happen to your children!

Don't say ewww to me if you don't want it back!!

Ridiculous that you think that's so "unhygienic"!

You'll bring up another load of paranoid germ people!

Why is the bed not made? I would not be happy with that.

What's the usual standard like? If it's a one off, I would just mention it when they came next time. If standards aren't good generally, then maybe reconsider and hire a new firm?

Your dog, though? What do you mean?

It looks like they've moved things to mop and forgotten to put them back. If they usually put everything back in their place this was probably an oversight. Either that or floor may have been too wet to put them back.
