He likes to brag and tell me for 1 year when he was in college he used to clean. Okay, he's been out of college for 10+ years, I have lived with him for 5 years and he is yet to clean anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-836499 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:08:11 +0000 Springtime 836499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely bathrooms!! I hate cleaning bathrooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-836496 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:07:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 836496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathrooms! I hate cleaning them so much. Then probably the floors since that's really annoying. I feel like for me, a lot of the kitchen cleaning is just me putting stuff away, the actual wiping down isn't too bad. </p> <p>@littlek: We stopped having a cleaning lady when we moved, but I told DH I don't feel comfortable cleaning the bathroom with the cleaning products that we already had while I'm pregnant (all bleach, chemically goodness). I wanted to either buy organic stuff or he coudl do it, he thought it was dumb to buy more when we had so much so said he would clean the bathrooms.... one month after we moved in I broke down and busted out the gloves, opened the windows, turned on the fans and cleaned the bathrooms, which had not been touched. Then I bought some greener stuff since clearly, he's not going to do it. I think the cleaning lady will be back come August, once the baby is here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-836482 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:01:55 +0000 littlek 836482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I don't think DH nows what that is. He believes that there is an elf that takes his dirty clothes off the floor, cleans them, folds them and leaves them magically on the bed for him to not put away until his wife nags him... Yea, he's going to clean.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-836289 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:50:34 +0000 MrsH 836289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathrooms and kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-836279 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:48:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 836279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kitchen if that includes fridge/oven cleaning! </p> <p>bathrooms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-836267 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:43:47 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 836267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: 4 full baths!

So if you don't use all 4.5 bathrooms every day, only have her clean the ones you do use. And of course the kitchen and whatever room you eat dinner in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-835870 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:11:34 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 835870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wherever gets the most traffic. For my house it would be the bathrooms, the kitchen, and the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-835867 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:11:07 +0000 regberadaisy 835867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def bathrooms!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-835858 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:08:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 835858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: exactly what you said. Bathrooms and wood floors. First of all: I hate cleaning tubs and toilets. and second of all: no matter what I do, I can never get woodfloors to be as spotless as my cleaning lady does. So, if I had to scale back, I would have no problem doing the rest of the house (I do it anyways) and having her just do bathrooms and flooring.<br /> Mine only comes once a month now. But, I hire a sitter to come in for 4h and go to the playroom with my son, while I clean once a week. It is cheaper than cleaning ladies PLUS the girl I hired reallllly needs the money. So, my house gets a deep clean every week and OMG it cuts down on stress when the house is clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-835855 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:08:32 +0000 ShootingStar 835855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the bathrooms. I'd also want the kitchen floors swept/mopped, living room dusted and floors cleaned, bedrooms dusted and vacuumed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-835854 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:08:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 835854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathrooms and floors . . . I find the kitchen easier to keep up with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-lady-what-would-you-have-them-clean-if-you-were-limited-to-2-or-3-areas#post-835845 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:05:38 +0000 wahine08 835845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathrooms and Kitchen for sure.

Before I had someone come every other week to clean. DH says that I can only have a maid come once a month and clean a few areas. If you were me, what areas would you have cleaned? </p> <p>I'm thinking bathrooms and maybe kitchen? Or should have them clean the bathrooms and wax the hardwood floors? We have 4 full baths and 1 1/2 bath. </p>
