I would not go as far as to say that I have OCD (because I don’t), but I like things to be squeaky clean, and there have been times when I have been unable to sleep thinking about the mess, and I ended up cleaning myhousein the middle of the night.
Now, speaking about cleaning, this original poster (OP) was unhappy with the cleaner she hired from a company, so she refused to hire cleaners from them again. Well, they called her kitchen disgusting and blocked her, leaving her feeling violated!

According to the poster, the new cleaner didn’t do a good job and clean everything as she had expected
The living room window sill was unclean, and she broke her glass chopping board, left chemicals in the oven which she was asked not to clean, and the floor corners were dirty

Due to this, she refused to hire her again and told so to the cleaning company, but they sent a pic of her house which the cleaner had secretly taken
In today’s story, OP tells us how a cleaning company took a jab at her after she said that she was unhappy with theirservice. What happened was that her self-employed cleaner went back to her own country so she hired a new one to deep clean the downstairs story of her house. She mentioned that it generally takes her 2 hours, but she pays for 4 hours to get it cleaned properly.
However, when the newcleanercame, she didn’t really do all the work expected of her within that time. The living room window sill wasn’t cleaned, she broke OP’s glass chopping board and didn’t say anything, she left chemicals in the oven even when she was asked not to clean it, and also left the corners and many areas dirty.
Despite everything, the poster didn’t say anything, just made a mental note that she wouldn’t rehire her. Well, thecompanymessaged her and asked why she didn’t want to hire and OP replied that she wasn’t happy with the service; seems pretty reasonable so far.
This left her feeling veryuncomfortablehiring another cleaner, but her husband felt that she was overreacting. When she vented online and sought advice, she also attached a photo of her kitchen before the cleaner came to clean, and netizens were divided in their opinions.
Researchstates that 1 in 10 British households have a domestic cleaner, and almost 25% of all households with an annual income under £20,000 use the services of a home cleaner. Just like so many other people, even OP hired one for her house, as she is not able to do it herself because of her work.
OP also received some responses from cleaners and they said that she could hire someone else as the cleaner had not done a proper job.Researchshows that in 2021, the total number of cleaning businesses in the UK grew to around 69,005, so the poster won’t find it too difficult to get in touch with another cleaning company.
While most netizens backed up the poster and said she had a right to complain, there were a few who felt that her house was very messy
