[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The latest long thread is about hiring a maid service to preclean her son’s dorm before move in. “It has to be clean to MY standards” she shared. I just wonder if she is going to check weekly on how filthy her son’s room will become. [/quote]

My son was a junior and moved into a university owned apartment in fall of 2020 (so during Covid.)   I figured things might be a little dusty so when we helped him move in I brought a container of Clorox wipes, thinking I'd just quickly wipe most surfaces down.  I was so wrong--it wasn't just "dusty" it was "grimy!"  We ended up spending over two hours (son and husband in the living room kitchen, me in the bedroom/bathroom) and the ENTIRE container of wipes cleaning everything.  It was really disgusting.  I've never worked Clorox wipes so hard and after two hours my fingers were raw and numb from the chemicals and rubbing.

Two weeks later I moved our other son into a dorm room--this time I came prepared with REAL cleaning products, not just wipes---and it was IMMACULATE!   I started wiping a few surfaces down with wipes and then realized there was no need, it was perfect!

Cleanliness standards vary so much in dorm/apartment move in.[/quote]
