If you left the house before she came and did not return until she left?

Re: Would you still let the cleaning lady come?

Yes. If I won't be in my home and she is CLEANING and sanitizing the home- why not?

Ours cancelled but someone brought up a point to me that you don’t know whose house they have been in and what they have been exposed to. and even though they are cleaning surfaces if they touch that cleaned surface they can still leave traces of the virus. Surface is only clean until someone touches it.

No. Mine was going to come a week ago and I decided not to. I did't want her taking public transportation, and at that time I already was home with DS for the whole day.

Wouldn’t need one since I’m home and clean up as we go through our new normal!

We didn't because we are home and would certainly be in their way. We still paid them and will continue to pay them as if they were working.

Re: Would you still let the cleaning lady come?

it would depend on a lot of factors.

in my current situation... no.

SO's elderly mother lives with us and we don't allow anyone into our home, except for us. when we get home from work, we both head straight to the shower and change our clothes before we touch any surfaces.

Nope and that’s what I told my sister: you don’t know where anybody else has been or what they go home to

Yes. We've always left when they come and are continuing to do so. We both still have to work with the public and aren't spending any time with elderly relatives or anyone outside of work as it is so I'm not too worried.

no I can clean my own home. I'm amazed people would let a cleaning lady come when we are told social distancing.

kid are home
people are now working from home
going to the store should only be when needed
we are no supposed to visiting

but some would still let their cleaning person come into their home not knowing who she has come in contact with...... OYE

that way of thinking is not thinking outside oneself

She's CLEANING. Wearing gloves. Using bleach! And other sanitizers. With nobody here. I thought it was a legit question. I have been working full time and half ass "homeschooling" on top of cooking, laundry and all the other maid services I provide so I don't feel like cleaning too. No need to be all preachy. I have not left my house in days so save it for someone else who is a true rule violator.

I’m not getting preachy and I’m not one to get crazy over things but a cleaning person is not sanitizing your entire house. They can have it and not show signs and sneeze and a droplet sits on a surface.

You just really don’t know and letting people in your house that have been all over other house is just not needed right now.

I get working, homeschooling and running the house but I’d rather have a messy house.

You guys do realize that by OP having her cleaning lady come, she's providing income for said cleaning lady, right?

I honestly don't see the issue with one person coming to someone's house when they aren't home, even under these circumstances.

The moral superiority and high horses about this are out of control.
Apparently her cleaning lady is typhoid Mary.
Get the pitch forks and burn OP at the stake for even daring to ask such a horrible question!!!
When the economy collapses and we enter another Great depression and people are starving in the street perhaps a virus won't seem so bad.

I would let her come, she is CLEANING lol. I’m sure she is wearing gloves while cleaning. Honestly she should be more afraid coming into the home to clean, but probably needs the moneyChat Icon

Me Preachy?? I'm not a preachy person in life or on this site. You asked a question and I replied.

Part of my reply was to all the people who said yes to letting a cleaning person in not just you. Sorry I hit a sensitive nerve.

If you feel its important to let someone in to clean that's your choice. I think its absurd with everything WE hear all day long. All day the GOV of NY is telling all of us how to stop the spread of a virus. I'm not even going to the bank because its not truly necessary or urgent and can wait. I for one am trying to limit who I'm around and who is around my family.
