[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes if my family could pick up their crap from surfaces, I’d get one too. [/quote]

My wife’s excuse for years was that the house was too cluttered and we just needed to declutter it and we could

A)get ahead of the mess
B) talk about a cleaning person

But guess what? They decluttered for us. And magically all our seasonal allergies went away because they were actually dust allergies.  [/quote]

Would love to know how you found cleaning people who would declutter.  Ours just clean around any clutter, and they don't dust at all as far as I can tell, unless it's a really obvious place.  [/quote]

We didn’t mean to, we just asked recommendations from the neighbors. They came in the first day and just started picking things up and putting them away. Things that don’t have an obvious place they neatly arrange near where they found it. What they did with our son’s room (with his permission) was stunning.

They don’t do laundry, but the pick up and arrange before cleaning. It’s sometimes odd how they arrange things, but it beats having a messy house. There have been a few times when small but crucial things (sons mouthguard for practice) was “put away” somewhere mysterious but we’ve found everything and we weren’t finding a lot of things before. We pick up dirty laundry and put away bills and things like that but it’s a lot easier to keep track of that without the mess.

It’s too anxiety inducing for my wife to watch but I’ve hung around a few times and they do a decent job. There’s the actual cleaner we hired and two assistants and they don’t know I speak Spanish and despite my wife’s greatest fears, they don’t talk about us or our mess.

I keep telling my wife they probably see some real gross shit and we’re not gross just overwhelmed.[/quote]
