Further, if they are to clean, they need to be able to \u201cget at it\u201d so pick up dirty clothes and kids toys off the floor. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I find it hard to clean around your family!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As lovely as your family is, a housekeeper has a job to do.

For example, if your child has been throwing up all night, you should clean it up. Do not leave the soiled linens for your housekeeper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have views on cleaning products!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your housekeeper is the professional so consider discussing which products work best.
