Got a cleaning lady already for about 12 years. 50 every week, around holidays 100 extra + some food stuff in order to keep things interesting, whenever sick gets also paid.
Where do you hide when they show up and clean? Do you just sit there playing Xbox and watching them scrub your body fluids off the walls, or do you lock yourself in a bedroom or what? How can you look them in the eye when they show up and you're home?
I basically see the person as a extension of the family, it's like your girlfriend/wife/mother cleaning the house, u don't pay attention towards it.
However mostly i sleep when the cleaner lady is here, and the times i am not, i sit in a another room, its only 3-4 hours.
What gets done are the following:
Dust cleaning, floor cleaning, kitchen cleaning, toilet rooms cleaning, sometimes ironing and windows inside every x amount of time.
She's not there to clean your degenerate student room with trash everywhere every week. if the kitchen is loaded with pans and plates, she can skip it. If the floor is riddled with junk she can skip it. This is why u keep things clean yourself and only small things like little food rests that get stuck in corners or behind burners are the things she cleans and makes sure its clean, same for floors etc.
if i have party a day before or something and house is riddled with junk and stuff everywhere + kitchen piles out with lots of trash. I basically ask her to come a day later or simple skip that week. I will clean it myself.
So there is nothing to be ashamed off when u keep your shit in a normal way.
