For example, I was thinking about this when I realized that the LL Bean water hog mat under my dog’s food and water dish stinks. So I had to go outside and scrub it with oxyclean and hose it down, and now I have to remember to bring it in before it rains.
Do weekly cleaners notice this stuff if you find the right ones? Do you have to list all possible one-offs or deep cleans and they rotate through them? Are there special cleaners who do this? Or do you have another method for managing the intermittent things that need to get done but aren’t obvious?
I’m fine managing it on my own now, but I never see any of my neighbors doing this kind of stuff and I’m wondering what secret I’m missing.
You don't see my DH scrubbing the car mats? You don't see us taking all porch furniture outside to clean the room 1x per year? Maybe you're just not paying attention?
No, I think I need to move! This is how I was raised but I don’t see it in my neighborhood. The last time I was scrubbing the car mats my nosy neighbor strolled by and just stared like I was an actor making candles in colonial Williamsburg.
We live near a bunch of indoor cats who don’t seem to clean. You’re my people.
