clutter is not a problem, but I do move my daily pills from the kitchen countertop to a cupboard. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 7, 15:50
"Hey we need to clean, the cleaners are coming tomorrow" - my mother, seemingly every time I visit -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 15:42 1
- do you want strangers handling your personal items? -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 16:04
Put it away? -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 15:42
we end up cleaning up for about an hour and a half before the cleaner comes -- nm - prayformojo Nov 7, 15:37
we try and tidy up the day before -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 15:36 10

  - Oh everyone says that! It really needs to be, "I need to put away my personal items before the cleaners come" -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 16:05 2
    - I’ve still missed certain items. They are nice about it. Put items on the nightstand. Hair clips. Etc -- nm - Epiphany Nov 7, 19:52
    - though with my grandmother there was always a subtext of "we can't let them see how we really live." -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 17:58
  - every damn time -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 15:56 1
    - ... do you put everything back afterwards? -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 15:57
- do you ever tell them some areas are off limits? -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 15:37 2
  - Yep. “Don’t bother with that room.” or “if the door’s closed, don’t clean.” -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 15:54
  - yes. they typically hesitate around dusting some things too; I feel like some have accidently broken some stuff so they dust around rather than under -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 15:38
