Does everyone have a cleaner except me?

I am the same as Loislovesstewie I would clean up and tidy before the cleaner came so the house was presentable.

Mine left when I retired, but I never actually wanted one, I just wanted more time to be able to do it myself.

But no, whilst I’m able to do it all myself I will.

No, because I would have to clean before the cleaner arrived!

I don't have a cleaner; gave her up when I retired.
Tell your daughter to keep her opinions to herself.

I've never had a cleaner and never would. I would hate someone else doing my cleaning. We only have a small house and we manage quite well. I'm not really into cleaning. The house is clean enough.

I don't have one, although sometimes I would be tempted (not just now, obviously) to have someone to blitz-clean the place. I've had one in the past, and it is awkward both keeping out of her way and cleaning the place yourself before she arrives!

In answer to your question, no, I don’t have a cleaner and neither do lots of people.

My daughter is trying to get me to have a cleaner as she says my kitchen and bathrooms aren’t kept clean enough! I’m struggling at the moment as we are doing up and decorating the conservatory and dining room (all the same room) including sanding the wooden floor and painting it plus the hall prior to having new carpet. Consequently, every single room is stuffed to the gills with furniture, boxes, pictures, mirrors etc.

I’d love a cleaner (never ever had one) but I’m here most days and would be embarrassed to have someone cleaning whilst I’m doing something else or sitting on my iPad! It’s impossible just now as we’re in such a mess, we’re in tier 3 so presumably can’t have anyone in and I’d probably wait until after Christmas but I just wondered if most people have a cleaner?

PS I’m dealing with my daughter.
