Appreciating Professional Cleaner More In Absence

My neice works with her partner in business – so they live together, travel together, work very hard together and when possible, relax and mess up their lovely house together. The latter made all the more by them acquiring dogs . . . . .  For their first years the breakdown of household chores was shared, after a fashion.  Safe to say the lass picked up the major cleaning and housemaiding duties.    Then after a few skirmishes over fairness of duties etc. etc. it was agreed they’d hire in a professional cleaner…..  to do the downstairs only.  Their lives were completely revolutionised.  The cleaning lady owns the company and has vested interest in giving the very best service imaginable.  She really deep cleans – each room she tackles is left gleaming like a new pin.  Every Wednesday afternoon they’ve looked forward to this joy.  Until recently when the global pandemic caused the cleaner to halt her services for the duration.  My neice was horrified at tackling all the cleaning again and bemoaned how she just couldn’t get the place as deep cleaned as the professional!
