What the heck is with my maid?
We have a maid who comes to clean our 1 bedroom once a week for 2 hours.
Because the company I use doesn't do 1 hour slots I had to go with 2 hours and I always leave a note to say "If you have any time left over, please iron the shirts I have left out"
To begin with she wouldn't iron the shirts, so I rang and asked what is taking so long that she doesn't have any time left over, and apparently it's because she scrubs the oven trays and the balcony sometimes takes a long time. So I said, well do the balcony once every other week and don't worry about the oven trays, I'll do them myself.
So everything was going OK...she sometimes did iron 2 or 3 shirts, but most of the time she didn't, so I've still wondered what she's been doing??
However today, because our drawers and cupboards are in a bit of a mess, I booked her for 3 hours and left a note to say "Please do the usual clean (minus balcony) for 2 hours, then remaining hour spend on tidying drawers and cupboards"
I come home to find that she's not mopped the floor, not made the sofa, not dusted/wiped the surfaces, not cleaned the toilet properly (I swear she just uses the bog brush and gives it a bit of a wipe because it's never white-white) and only 2 drawers (my PJ bottoms and my husband's trousers) have been folded.
How has she done LESS with MORE time?!
Clearly I need a new maid from a company with high standards, because this is ridiculous.
Plus, I don't mean to make myself out as a saint, but I know these girls get paid very little, so husband and I give her AED 100 a month extra as a tip, thinking that would spur her on to do a good job. Well more fool us! Perhaps it's had the opposite effect!
