My place is so unorganized, I’d have to monitor the entire process on where everything goes.

I hate cleaning the bathroom, so hiring a house cleaner was one of the first things I did when I started earning decent money.

There are lots of places where you can find reviews of cleaners, or you can get recommendations from people you know.

I’m chuckling to myself as I read about the rest of us who clean before the cleaner comes. Well, we don’t clean, but we do straighten up and square things away so that our cleaner can focus on the things we want her to do, like clean the toilets.

I like the way you put that. “Reset”. Yes.
