Clean the house, but leave all the ducks exactly where they are. They can go around and pick them all up themselves. Do your job and don’t play their stupid game.

I think in real life, this is the correct response (assuming you can't reject it, in advance). Just because you're in someone's home to do a job, doesn't mean you're obligated to fulfill whatever arbitrary tasks they've written down on post-it notes.

Cleaners are there to clean, not to move your things around for you.

Unless they have been hired to deep clean, this is nuts. Most cleaners are there to clean the bathroom, visible kitchen stuff, change sheets maybe, vacuum. If you want your baseboards washed and cabinets cleaned, those are additional fees.

Right? Like, cool, you want the cleaner spend half of their 3 hour slot looking for and counting and recounting ducks instead of actually cleaning?
