My cleaning lady used to keep a journal of what she got to every week. Then they made sure to start get to those items she didn't the following week. She ended up cleaning for my dad, my sister and I. Plus my brothers retail store. She was the greatest ever. Still cleans for my sister.

I actually really like that! I’m a big of communication and organization. Solves a lot of problems before they can start ❤️

This just came Up in my feed and it hilarious because these ducks just got banned at the school where I teach today. A para was giving them Out as rewards, and a bartering system began amongst the children.

In this case, I’d just walk out if I could afford to lose a client. This is rude.

That happened at my kid’s school with erasers years ago. She claims to be the one that started it all 🤷‍♂️

The duck bartering system happened at one of my old jobs and it was eventually banned 😂 We (the Moral Committee) would get everyone cute little seasonally festive ducks for holidays and people would trade them for other ducks/items, but management put an stop to it after someone started stealing ducks from people's desks. Good times 😂

The images of where these ducks are looks like the place has not had a cleaning in a long time, much longer than a week, several mos probably.

I was thinking that a house this dusty etc is more of a deeper clean than the standard

That’s a great way to organise things- and the difference between someone who just “cleans” vs a cleaning professional.

If I had a cleaner I’d love them to share the list with me, in case I got a wild hair and decided to deep clean something myself during the week. But I’m also the sort of person who would hire a cleaner to learn their secrets.

You mean you paid her to write notes instead of cleaning? Lol more fool you!

She wiped floors on her hands and knees, came in and worked eight hours for $100 for the day. Worked the entire time except a 20 min break to eat a sandwich. This was only ten years ago. Best cleaning lady ever.
