I am quite relaxed about these things. Once I know the cleaner I give them a key to one of the locks and leave the other lock unlocked (and then when I once or twice forget to leave the other lock unlocked and it causes a big hassle). I prefer my cleaners to clean when I'm not around.

I always keep my house tidy but particularly so before the cleaner comes in as I don't want her to be putting any things in the wrong place. Afterwards I just move a few photo frames and things if she hasn't put them where I like them.

My current girl isn't the greatest but she has really learnt and as she is our nanny too (who wanted extra hours for cleaning so I let the cleaner go) and she's great with children and now also keeping the house tidy. With this girl I am always wiping the corners in the bathrooms and some other rooms too as I can stand any dust collecting there

It's hard when you have once had an amazing house help. Ours in the Middle East was out of this world and she cleaned the whole house twice a week too but everything was perfect all the time.

I suppose your question is do you want your house cleaned for himself (I am assuming he is staying at home) or do you rather be extra cautious?

I love that you clean before she comes...Such a Jewish trait Shana Maidelah....Lol...Does she need to come when you will only be gone for 2 cleaning weeks? Does she need the money ? I would probably tell her It is unnecessary to come while you are away....That is my opinion...Now does your man need her to clean up after him...I am guessing ..not...chuckling...Well there it is for what it is worth...You will get it right no matter what you decide...Stay safe.....

I believe there really is no need for her to have the key while you are away. It's two weeks .......

Empty house don't need cleaning. Off hire the lady for a fortnight.

I think the cure to your anxiety can be found in some Famous Dave's BBQ.
