Your regular cleaner in your home - what are your rules?

Hi... I'm finding that I don't know where to draw the boundaries now things are so much lower risk....

She's been in our house, but not in kitchen or bedroom for last three weeks - wearing mask and gloves until today when suddenly I noticed she wasn't

What are your rules?

Still using mask and gloves inside?

At the mo, we do the kitchen and our bedroom as they feel "higher risk" areas but maybe that's mad and unnecessary

We'll just both be out the house when she comes so don't care what she does.

Hopefully it won't rain! No coffee shop or library to sit in!

There are no rules.

My cleaner can come and clean my whole house and go about in whatever way she feels comfortable with.

Cleaners literally spend all day cleaning with their hands.

She isn’t going to breathe on your duvet and then it smothers you in the night with the evil corona.

I really feel genuinely sad for the people who have been terrified into this warped thinking by the media and the internet.

We don’t have any rules. We just stay in a different room when they are in the house
Gloves are pointless unless they change them every time they touch anything

She hasn't been in until this last week.
I don't impose rules. She is an intelligent woman. She can do what makes her feel comfortable.
She doesn't wear a mask and nor do I. She didn't wear gloves and nor do I.
I stay out of her way and give her the space she needs to crack on.
She did all the rooms she normally does, except the one bedroom which dh is now working in.

I wouldn’t worry about avoiding kitchens and bedrooms, I have to clean toilets and change beds and god knows what else for complete strangers.

I just stay in a different room from her.
