Cleaning and tidying

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.

  • Oh I totally understand you!  I do have a cleaner who comes once a week as I don't have the time to do it, but it drives me nuts.  I have to tidy up before she comes and then afterwards go around a fix all the stuff she has MOVED.   For no good reason, she just moves stuff!! 

    But I have tried to re-focus on the fact that overall net impact she has is positive.   The place feels and looks much better afterwards, and so if there are few things to be put back in place, that's ok, it is worth it.
