Extra jobs for cleaner?

My cleaner has mentioned she sometimes runs out of things to do, we have her a couple of times a week and granted aren't that messy but we've agreed I'll list some other things she could do if she has extra time. She already does laundry and changing sheets.

She's wonderful so I want to keep her busy. Any suggestions for jobs it'd be ok to ask her to do? I don't want to go OTT and ask things cleaners wouldn't normally do?

Fridge always takes a good while, especially if she checks all use by dates and tidies too.

Microfibre cloth and a bit of fairy liquid and get marks off walls (check your paint first! Dulux can take this, farrow and ball no)

Sort through kitchen cupboards.
I had one cleaner who reorganised my clothes drawers in my room even though I had told her not to (as she was prone to doing this sort of thing). She was so pleased with herself and showed me what she’d done - I wasn’t happy she’d done when I’d said not to but it did look a lot better!
She also used to cut flowers from the garden and put them in a vase....
Or you could just reduce her hours.
