[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a good relationship with my parents and would be able to just say, “you guys need a cleaner; I’ll even pay for the first visit to get it going.” In fact, I did that a few years ago and surprise surprise, they love having cleaners and a clean house. I think me paying the first time was the key to get them over their hesitation. I don’t think it is rude to be honest and offer help if it is done properly.[/quote] I do too but I'll bet your parents care enough about your allergies to do something that would involve having a stranger come into their home and do work around their personal possessions. My MIL allowed it only because it was my long-time vetted cleaner whom she had witnessed in action while at our home. Telling your parents to get a cleaner and you'll pay for it does not get them over that fear of things being taken or damaged. [/quote]
