Used to have a cleaning service once a week, then dropped it to every other week. Although they did a great job I eventually discontinued them because our house didn't get dirty enough to justify having them. Seemed silly to pay a team $100 to have already clean floors washed and already clean bathrooms cleaned, just to get the vacuuming and dusting done.
I have a H shaped roller that sits under our fridge, with rollers that allow you to move it frontwards, or sideways. The delivery guys put it under the fridge when they delivered it about 5 years ago. It only takes a slight push to move it. We have a young woman who cleans our house every 2 weeks. 4 hours for $100 and she is super good at it. We go out for a drive while she is cleaning. She is a cousin of our next door neighbors. JimB.
I got an aide from an agency. Horrible experience. Absolutely not interested in doing the work properly. Did it in a clearly unsanitary manner. And, they only showed up 3 times out of 13 scheduled visits.
Oh yes, that is how mine were too. Always calling in. She called in more than she worked in one month. So I got rid of her and have been much happier doing what I can do myself.
That's how I clean too. I've gone through several that did not know how to clean, mostly young girls, early twenties. Once I found some meds missing after a company sent two here to clean.....so it is hard to find someone you can trust and that can do a good job...... but I keep searching.
I find that the younger ones who do menial work for a living tend to be slapdash about it, they don't want to do it, because they don't actually want to work, but they want to be paid....
In my apartment it comes from the white textured paint on the ceiling. Since people live upstairs that are more active than the last tenant was, I get more dust. Even on my houseplants' leaves.
Mostly your own skin particles.. ..and also if you live on a road that's busy with traffic, then it'll all come into your house that way!
We replace our filters every 30 days. JimB.
i had geriatric in home patients...i have mowed their grass...cleaned carpets and drapery...even painted a lady's porches...lots more...I guess that's why I can't do my own as well as i used to
I worked as a personal care as well as a home health aide so I think maybe that is why I was expecting more from an aide. The difference is that I worked for a health care agency not an agency through a social agency. We were trained and tested. Many times I see women in these jobs who just took it thinking they were easy and they do not want to work.
