Questions for a cleaning lady?

juangela

Hey girls, DH and I have decided to hire someone to come clean our house every other week. With work and family we are always putting it off and I'm tired of being embarrassed of the state of my house!  I have no problem keeping it picked up, but the dust in all the corners and the conditions of my bathrooms...no good!

We've posted an ad with a Catholic Hispanic outreach program my father-in-law volunteers with. We've gotten so many responses! We're setting up interviews with as many of them as we can...but we aren't exactly sure what to ask. I'm sure any of them can do a great job - any recommendations for things to ask/what to look for more specifically?

Thanks!

How much experience do you have?

What is your typical routine? (If there is a specific task you want her to perform, ask if it's a problem.)

Who will provide the cleaning supplies and equipment? (especially if you prefer a specific type or brand of something)

Does someone onsite speak english? (I've had problems with this). If you have pets, is that a problem?

Thanks, ladies . We had a few interviews this weekend and found someone we love!

Wonderful! We first considered it en extravagance, but when you calculate cost per hour for me to do it, the math works. We're pretty busy people, and having someone come in just once a month to do all the heavy stuff really helps. Brent said he didn't want to help, so there it is.
