    This is a hotel service thing, it’s what the maids do in hotel rooms.

    If this is happening with your housekeeper you got the wrong housekeeper.

Lastly, if you are pleasant, treat them with respect and pay them very well, they will bend over backwards for you and ensure you are very happy. Maybe give you a hand job when the wife is on a long vacation.

    We've had the same housekeeper for the last 20 years. Polish woman who does an excellent job. Never had any issues with stuff missing or skipping out on cleaning. I even went through my house once with a clean towel looking for dust. Nothing.
    Bottom line is hire somebody you know or get a reference from your family or neighbors. I would never trust a large cleaning company that sends different people all the time.

    My housekeeper understands not to come over when my girlfriend is there. We have a very good cleaning relationship.

    Always bring extra shoes when visiting Donkland even if you are planning to walk around barefoot.

    Cleaners come in once a month. Probably every two weeks would be better but it's $200 each time (2500sf house in Maui where things are expensive). I definitely put anything expensive away to prevent temptation. I've never thought about the cross-contamination aspect. The group that does mine brings 2 or 3 people and different ones do bathrooms and kitchen. I like it because it motivates me to pick up and organize before they get there.

    jj the only thing you know about house cleaners is that you can't afford one.
