If you went to your Adult kids house, and offered to clean or sweep would pay attention to where thing were if you had to move then? Would you make sure to put them back as they were? When my MIL come to watch my son, she always offers/has to clean. It is off putting and doesn't feel genuine. As she clean though she rarely puts things back as they were. She said she doesn't remember or makes a mental note of how things were before she moves things to clean. What is your opinion?

Our cleaner moves stuff all the time but does a good job.

Only once did my MIL offer to clean, and she said something to the effect of "give me a cloth and I'll do your windows for you", and I had a reply (for once in my life) and said 'windows are for looking THROUGH not looking AT'.
She never offered again.
I really found it very offensive.

I have enough trouble cleaning my own house let alone cleaning someone else's.
