Cleaning and tidying

Vicky
over 1 year ago

Hi, I’m new here and hoping for some help and advice!

Basically, I don’t trust anyone to clean my house and I don’t like people touching my stuff.  I have a baby and my partner I think is messy (although he doesn’t).

I don’t like cleaning myself and I don’t really have the time to do much anyway.  But I don’t want anyone to do it because I don’t trust them to do it properly, I think there will be chemicals everywhere and especially the smells, and people will touch my things.

Is any of this sounding familiar??  I don’t want to feel like this, it’s so stressful.

    Hi Vicky, I totally understand where you are coming from, I'm the same and would also probably feel like I had to tidy up and clean before they came to clean too!

    You could consider having someone come to do some of the heavier cleaning for you where they don't really need to touch your stuff like cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming and mopping floors. If you find someone who is freelance/a micro-provider rather than through an agency they might be more flexible with you specifying how you want things done and use the cleaning products you provide/prefer.
