My wife has been sick with a persistent respiratory infection for six weeks. I have a shoulder injury. We haven't been staying on top of the cleaning. We finally admitted that the house smells like one of those caves you age cheese in, and booked a cleaner to put it back in good shape so we can just maintain it going forwards.
Last night, at my wife's insistence, we tidied the house from top to bottom and wiped down the flat surfaces so the cleaner wouldn't arrive to a messy house. ๐
In her defence, she kinda saw the irony of it.
I hear you, but if you want the cleaner to deep clean, you gotta surface clean. Or just pay for twice the time.
