PAY YOUR CLEANER WHEN THE JOB IS DONE.
I cannot believe this even needs to be said.
Someone just spent HOURS in your home, scrubbing your toilets, cleaning your bathrooms, washing your floors, removing your dirt, grime, grease, and whatever else you’ve left behind. They’ve physically exhausted themselves doing a job you either couldn’t or didn’t want to do yourself.
And then you make them CHASE YOU for payment???
A WEEK later, they’re still having to ask for money they’ve ALREADY EARNED, and you have the audacity to act annoyed that they’re asking?
What is actually wrong with you?
Your cleaner has bills to pay. They have gas to put in their vehicle, supplies to purchase, families to feed, and a life outside of cleaning up after yours.
They showed up when they said they would. They did the work. They held up their end of the agreement.
Why on earth should they have to beg you to hold up yours?
And the absolute disrespect of treating someone like an inconvenience for asking to be compensated for their own labour is something I’ll never understand.
Cleaning is physically demanding, honest work. Just because someone is willing to scrub your toilet doesn’t mean they’re beneath you.
If you can afford to hire someone to clean your home, you can afford to respect them enough to pay them on time.
Making someone chase you for money they’ve earned, then giving them attitude for asking, is genuinely disgusting behaviour.
Do better.
