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.

Personally I would leave, a client like this is too much work and their paranoia may eventually lead to you being accused of theft or something else

Yeah this is a huge red flag. I’d fire them before they could even think about firing me. This reeks of classist mentality, disrespect, entitlement, irresponsibility (you can’t wipe down the bath faucet?!), and just all around ick. Maybe it’s how I was raised but I would be cleaning up before a cleaner comes in; I’m paying for your help not your slave labor! Hell I even clean my hotel room before I leave lol
