House cleaning
Posted on 1/14/16 at 5:35 pm

In-laws bought us 6-months of house cleaning for Christmas.
Cleaning lady did her work today. Well done.
But, here is my question for this board. My wife and mother in-law spent a few hours yesterday "cleaning up" for the cleaning lady. The house was not that bad.
I don't change my oil right before getting my oil changed.
I don't get my haircut right before a haircut.
I do drink a few beers before drinking beers so maybe the analogy is best fit here. I guess.
Does this pre-cleaning before hired cleaning makes sense to you?
Not me.

Yes, because you can't clean with a lot of crap around.

Women are strange creatures.
I usually just end up banging my cleaning chicks.

I could see a cursory clean, then let her see the norm next time.

My wife does the same thing before the maid comes. I don't understand it but she is a woman so I don't try to understand it.

Almost every wife does this. Then they become friends with the maid. Then when maid starts messing up the laundry and ruining my favorite shirts I can't fire the maid. Then when I ask my wife if we can just keep paying the maid, but not let her do the laundry my wife says "No! That would hurt her feelings!" So now I pay the maid and have to buy new shirts all the time. But I out kicked my coverage so I just grouse a little and smile when I cut the check. Anyone who says I need to control my women etc is young and single. You married guys know exactly what I am talking about!

Last time we did that some of the wife's jewelry went missing..

We spend a few hours 'cleaning up' each time before our cleaner comes. To the normal person our house would look perfect before the help comes in...but we walk in that night it smells and feels so much cleaner than we left it. Our help doesn't do laundry, dishes, beds or anything that is normal upkeep. She does floors, toilets, showers, range...

Makes sense to do the larger cleaning yourself and give more time for the cleaning lady to focus on the tedious crap no one likes doing.

Was that a hint that you live in a pig pen?

Well I'm a bachelor so I don't have a wife to nag me. It works out

Deal with it.
If you ever get a hall pass from her* make sure she gives you a hummer with rim job before you use it.
*FYI: She'd be cheating on you of this happens.

My house is spotless before our cleaning lady comes. I don't pay her to spend half the time straightening up. I want her deep cleaning and doing the things i don't want to do.

Dust my blinds, baseboards, scrub the tubs, the showers, the tubs, toilets, scour my floors and leave every surface in my house gleaming clean. She also cleans the crown molding in every room and light fixtures/fans.

Totally makes sense! You want to get the everyday stuff laying around out of her way so she's not spending an hour that you could have sent getting it out of her way so she can do the big cleaning that regular people hate doing! That's what her job is ! Clean the house not "pickup" the house! BTW I wish my inlaws would gift me Cleaning service! Great gift
