Why is my new house keeper not cleaning things good & having issues with cleaning?

I already did tell her exactly what needs to be done from the get go. I only added one small thing once like just clean the refrigerator shelves on one side only. I moved all the food myself.

She works at a set rate. So she can clean the house at her pace. There is NO time limit.

If she works fast or slow, she will still get paid the same amount. I’m generous & I give her a $20 tip for a flat rate of $50 each time. That’s way over a 20% tip.

And I don’t make much money either. I appreciate her hard work. I’m not expecting miracles, but she seriously left my husbands toilet filthy.

And when I nicely asked her to please clean it, she got quiet & offended it seemed like. Wth? Did she really expect me to be OK with her leaving things dirty?

Also, what really bothers me is that I almost slipped and fell 3 seperate times in the kitchen because she left the floor wet. The first time it was very wet. .

I could’ve fell & broke me neck! I told her that too & to please dry the floor. I even offered her towels..
She didn’t do anything until the third time & she made zero apologies for anything! Wth? She finally dried the floors the 3rd time but she left a few wet spots on the floor.

It’s a safety hazard. She also didn’t clean the microwave until I asked her to clean it.

I don’t understand her. She kind of half cleans stuff. She shouldn’t get so upset & shut down whenever I politely ask her to clean stuff!!!

If she wasn’t so inexpensive, I would’ve hired a better and maybe more expensive cleaning service.

I don’t understand her. She’s weird tbh. She’s way to sensitive.

Jesyka several people told you that your list of chores is unreasonable. Yea it could be done but not spotless. If you want her to leave it spotless, she’d need to be there longer than 2 hours but who would do that for 50 bucks. You said she is fast but you keep adding tasks so she isn’t going to do them perfectly because it’s too much

Your expectations are unreasonable. Even the most experienced cleaner and a clean freak would leave “some wet spots”. Floor being wet after mopping isn’t unusual. Do not go in the kitchen after she mopped. What’s the emergency?

Now of course you can fire her but you’ll not find anyone to do a massive clean up you require for $50. The most you could get is some surface cleaning or just some parts of the house. And that’s what she is doing.
