What do you get your cleaning lady to do? I told her to do a thorough cleaning of the bathroom from top to bottom, including, using windex to make the taps all shine when she is done....(this is the first priority...then the rest of the work)

She can do all the floors that need washing and waxing, vacuuming, dusting.
I used to have one when I was working, Filipinio girl, used to come in once a week. As I recall I paid her $30 for a couple of hours work a week - cash in hand of course.

These days I could probably get help under the government's MyAged Care program but I haven't bothered for various reasons. I have plenty of time to do it myself is one good reason the other is that I wander around the house without wearing my glasses so everything looks clean anyway.

In the past I found it cheaper to wait until the oven is nice and greasy then buy a new one.

Though these days I never use the oven; it is just storage space since I bought a convection microwave for $160 and use that for any baking (it even has a grill)- far more convenient.

Re: Cleaning Lady

I'm working class, sad to say (actually no - I'm proud of it), so no cleaning lady.

Mrs. Floydysaurus and myself only live in a measley and paltry semi-detached house so it's easy to get up off our asses and pull little Henry around isn't it?

Re: Cleaning Lady

I knew a Cleaning Lady, at work she looked dowdy, but, socially, she "Scrubbed Up Well".

Re: Cleaning Lady

To be honest I only vacuum once a fortnight or so . I clean and wipe down kitchen each day when I've cooked , bathroom gets a wipe down each day , bed gets changed once a fortnight , I'm on my own and a tidy person and minimalist . I like a tidy house and wouldn't need a cleaner .

Re: Cleaning Lady

I wôuld like to be tidy but I have this large impediment -
Mr Mud - who is without doubt the most untidiest man in the universe .
He will not subscribe to the word tidy and will happily vacuum with out tidying up a single thing .
He is physically incapable of ever returning anything to the fridge and his paperwork is everywhere .
Drives me up the wall.

Re: Cleaning Lady

We had one years ago but she didn't do a good job so I sacked her.
