Re: House Keeping Experiences
I was just reading over some of these discussions and you'll are very right. I have been cleaning houses and condos on the beach for 8 years and have worked with rental companies and on my own. It is so very true that if you have a good housekeeper take care of them and keep them, because as the lady said they see a little of everything as they go in to clean and they stay in close contact with you and will let you know how "everything" is going it makes it a little easier for the owner knowing if there is any damage, problems or whatever it may be they can rely on their house keeper to call them. I don't think some people realize some of the things these house keepers really find and have to clean up. But I will tell you from working with some of the rental companies they do now stay on top of their house keepers and things they don't want the owners to know has happened, and to me that is not right it is your house and be it good or bad you need to know, that way you know how to thank your guest, with a welcomeing warm return or damage receipt.
The lady that talked about giving her housekeeper a week free that was so nice if you have a one that does a good job after a season of what they do they deserve it. I don't see charging the owner extra for cleaning out the fridge that is all part of the cleaning to me as the saying goes you have to take the good with the bad. Like I tell some of my home owners when I get new houses to clean I am gonna tell you everything I find or see whether it is big or small and if you don't think it is important overlook it, but that way I don't forget to tell you what I found or has happened. Because it might not seem important to me but will be very important to you as the owner. Just want to give a imput from working on the inside. Hope all of you Homeowners had a wonderful season I know it is coming to a end, And best wishes for a wonderful season to come.
