Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
So, any of you with housecleaners? If so, I assume you're not having them come, right? But are you still paying them? I feel bad about cutting off our housecleaner, so I think we're gonna go ahead and pay her about 75% of what we normally pay. Anyone else doing something like this? Is there another way?

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
I wouldn't want them to risk their health and ask them to come (and, hey, we won't be entertaining any guests for a while). I had only figured on tipping very heavily (multiples of what the normal cost is and letting them split it up internally as the people who come vary from month to month) when they are able to return, but you make a good point about paying as things go.Shirley wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:57 am So, any of you with housecleaners?

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Yeah, I would probably feel different if it were a service vs a single person. I'd be much less likely to worry about a company, even though, to be honest, they'd likely have the same financial problems.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
I have one that comes every other Monday (earlier this week was her day). Right or wrong, my wife and I gave her the choice and she chose to still come. My logic was she works with bleach all day every day, uses gloves and our area is not a hotspot for the growth of virus. She lives in town and only had been out to the grocery store. My wife and I have had minimal exposure as well since we both work from home. She cleans using harsh chemicals; if she only used "natural products" or something like that I might have canceled.
We were her only customers that did not cancel on her; she appreciated us keeping the appointment. We'll see how things look in two weeks.

My upstairs AC unit picked right now to go out, so not only am I about to be out multiple thousands of dollars, I will also have workers inside my house for a period of time. I'd postpone, but the highs have been in the upper 80's, and it's getting hard to sleep at night because it won't cool down enough.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

None. On Kimmel, he covered a Paul Simon song. He has no new music to promote which usually means there will be a good mix. You can join antsmarching if you want to play the setlist game. (edit: no setlist game for tonight, but they're making predictions here: https://antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=354069). I'm guessing we'll hear One Sweet World, Everyday, Crash, and a cover

Paid her full freight this week (mailed a check). We are on every other week with her, might consider paying 75 percent, but really my wife cuts that check and it'll probably be full freight again.Shirley wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:57 am So, any of you with housecleaners?

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Our lady comes every other week. We paid her not to come this time. Not sure how we’ll handle it in the future. We also had a short trip planned that we cancelled, so we paid our Petsitter half of what she would have earned.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Yeah, it normally costs us about $135 for a cleaning, and we were thinking of just paying her $100. Seems reasonable, right?

May not be popular but I cannot fathom paying $270 a month for someone to clean the house.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Me neither, but I have no children and it's sort of just ingrained in myself and the Mrs. lives now that we clean every few days. But I understand why people with the means do it.

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
Ours is an independently-owned company, not a Merry Maids or the like (the owner comes with the group probably 75% of the time as a cleaner, not a supervisor, he personally texts my wife with their expected arrival time). We have them once a month for dusting, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, etc. while we still do plenty in between (I probably vacuum once a week due to our two crumb factories - can't wait for Girl Scout cookies to be completely out of the house due to the foot traffic from people running booths picking up and dropping off).

Re: The OFFICIAL 2020 Self-Quarantine Thread
We pay $130 every two weeks and I agree it's hard to fathom. Like BSF we have no kids; I personally felt weird about it at first especially since we both work from home and have plenty of time to do it. It's just something that my wife really wanted because she hates cleaning but also thinks everything is dirty all the time so I agreed to it. We still do some light cleaning in between.
