Few niggles with our cleaner and don't know if it's me? If so please set me straight (gently lol)
3 bed house, ensuite, Lounge, Snug, large kitchen diner, utility, cloakroom , conservatory. They are large rooms to be fair.
We don't use one of the bedrooms, the main lounge and ask her to leave the conservatory. So she's here to clean 2 bedrooms, kitchen/diner, snug, bathroom, ensuite, utility and cloakroom and the Lounge.
Pay her for 3hrs and give her extra for petrol.
Apart from hoovering, the house looks no different after she's gone. Last week told her not to worry about child's room as it was messy or the main Lounge. Instead I asked her to give the bathroom a good clean - it looks no different, still scale marks at the bottom of the shower door and fluff on the floor.
In the Lounge we had mold on the wall behind a chair (chair positioned so you can easily walk behind it to hoover etc) we were upset she hadn't brought it to our attention but cleaned it with mold spray and it hasn't returned. We had two bottles of mold spray, one had gone missing so we left the other bottle on the floor behind the chair. That's also gone.
We have mold on the inside of our window frames (in the corners), bins upstairs not emptied - am I not giving her enough time?
We have had Limelight go missing, 5 microfibre cloths, pack of sponges, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and we get through a bottle of washing up liquid a month, even though we have a dishwasher and rarely use washing up liquid. She uses washing up liquid in a spray bottle and I know she's topping up her supply (she carries a little bottle in her cleaning bag) as the level always goes down a couple of inches or so every time she comes (minor but niggling as she's supposed to supply all cleaning products)
Very difficult one. How to prove? I took photos of all the cleaning stuff, toilet rolls etc one week as we had quite a few toilet rolls go missing the previous week. But nothing taken this time.
Is it possible that the cleaning stuff going missing is innocent and she's absentmindedly putting in her bag after using it (even though she's supposed to supply) without thinking it's not hers? If you're a cleaner do you know what's yours and what's your clients?
In a real quandary :-( Would like to see it from a Cleaners point of few as don't know if I've got consumed by the stuff that annoys me. As I said, don't know if it's me or this is normal. So please be nice 😉
