Should I make an attempt to clean before the cleaners come so they won't have a moment of clarity and quit?

Answer 1

Yes you need to pick the place up. Put away things that are in the wrong place. Hot spots like tabletops can be cleaned, but if they are cluttered the cleaning people will not know what to do with the clutter. Same goes for clothing in the bedrooms, it goes in the closet, in the dresser or in the hamper for cleaning, not in the four corners of your room. Just exaggerating for point.

Answer 2

Just leave out a nice cold pitcher of sweet tea and some Moon Pies and give them an extra tip for the day. The sugar buzz will keep them confused, and the money will remind them to come back.

Answer 3

The "cleaners" are there to clean. You need to straighten your shet up before they get there.

Answer 4

Chisel the snot off the bathroom mirror at least, and flush the week's worth of turds down the toilet.

Answer 5

I would pick up any clutter that gets in the way of their cleaning. They don't necessarily know where stuff goes and so it is better that you do it.

Answer 6

I would have to. It's my mother's fault. She wouldn't like a stranger coming in to clean my dirty house.

Answer 7

So you don't scare them off?
I would pick up anything too awful or personal but I wouldn't make a huge job of it.

Answer 8

I guess it all depends on
how much you want to pay for nothing

Answer 9

no, they might expect it in the future, and you'll wind up paying them for the privelege of doing their job for them.

Answer 10

No! If they start complaining, just stare......and stare......and stare. Then tell them you are paying them to clean, not to *****.
