To think of sacking our cleaner for small irritations?

[curiouscat]

How annoying does a cleaner have to be for me to replace her? She's pleasant and willing, but speaks little English. The problems are

1 Uses whole bottle of multi-purpose cleaning fluid every week which would last me a month and entire kitchen roll every week
2 Uses yellow dusters to clean the bathroom, gets them all wet and ruined
3 Cannot use Dyson properly, has broken one attachment and insists on using the other attachment wrongly attached so the handle's on the floor.
4 I don't trust her with my new Miele vacuum which I hide in the car boot when she's due
5 I dread trying to communicate and explain what I need (tried endlessly) so avoid the house when she's around

AIBU to give up on her and find someone else?

There are a lot of dumb people out there. Gumtree is a great place to advertise for cleaners. I have found it stressful to have people who can't speak english as you just can't get over what you want and then everyone gets stressed.
it's your money remember, she is not doing you a favour, she is working for you1
