How to approach this with lovely cleaner

[BlueMagnum]

I have a cleaner who comes and does tidying as well as cleaning
She has been amazing - esp during a busy period of our lives where we just weren't doing as much as we could
But her standards seem to have gone off a bit.

But I feel it's too late in the relationship to be critical now
Does
that make sense?
How would you approach this?

Cleaner here...
I wouldn't be offended if I got a deep clean or pre xmas blitz note!!
Never miffed at a 'to do', list if anything particular needs done!

oh Windydaysuponus that's a relief to know
I will do that.
Thanks

Having a similar issue. Came home after she’d been and she hadn’t wiped down the kitchen counters, they were visibly dirty - to me that’s a very basic thing to clean.
I’ve decided I’m going to write a list of my must do items e.g thorough clean of kitchen counters and sink, hoovering & mopping of floors etc. Think I haven’t been very clear with her about my expectations and she will try to do a big job like clean my oven rather than the basics. Hoping a list will help, but feel awkward as she’s a lovely lady and does try hard so don’t want her to feel criticised,
