Every cleaning I will request one additional item be cleaned. e.g. inside oven, refrigerator, inside windows.
Some of our rooms are not used on a regular basis and will not need to be cleaned. Upstairs we have a small room and downstairs we have a man room/bourbon room that will only need cleaning occasionally.
I do not expect you to put away any items that are left out. Please leave them on the bed if they are in a bedroom or on the kitchen table if they are in the downstairs. We will be responsible for putting them away.
I will purchase all cleaning items as needed. Please leave me a note letting me know what you require and if you are having any issues.
My dogs will be crated during the day in the upstairs pink bedroom. They are friendly but will most likely bark at you. They are afraid of loud noises (vacuum). If you feel comfortable letting them out that is fine. They are allowed in the back yard.
All cleaners are kept under the kitchen sink, beside the toilets, or in the drawer under the dryer. The brooms, vacuums, and mops are kept in the entry way closet or in the laundry room.
