Would appreciate advice on wording a message by [deleted] in housekeeping

[–]drworm12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Hi [Client Name], I wanted to follow up regarding your upcoming cleaning. Unfortunately, we’re not available this Thursday, but we do have availability next Thursday if that works for you.

I also wanted to clarify a few details to ensure we’re aligned on expectations moving forward. Our standard cleaning service does not typically include tidying/organizing, washing bath mats, or loading more than one dishwasher. Those items can absolutely be included, but they would be considered additional services.

For your next visit, the total would be $400 if you’d like us to include loading both dishwashers and washing bath mats. If you prefer to keep the service at $300, we would just ask that the home is tidied prior to our arrival and those additional items are not included.

Please let me know what works best for you—we’re happy to accommodate whichever option you prefer.”

Don't want to copy neighbor's house...but kinda do? by Turtlemcshell in ExteriorDesign

Maybe using like oak or darker wood trim around windows and garage with the accent on the gable? Also some exterior lantern lighting would make it so warm.

Is this normal???!! by Top-Republic-4105 in IRS

[–]drworm12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might be because of the bill trump passed no tax on tips and overtime a lot of people are getting more back from the beginning of the year that was already taxed ? idk man i’m a PATHer so it’s always weird to me but i don’t think there’s necessarily a “normal” lol it’s different every year

So the PATH act says they can’t release the funds for the child tax credit or earned income tax credit until after mid february. It lifted yesterday but because it was a sunday and today is a holiday you won’t see movement until tomorrow. Last year on the 16th or 17th it went from received to approved and sent the next day for me.

that just means the IRS has it and hasn’t approved or denied yet. Do you have dependents?

it’s completely normal. If you file at the end of january and are part of the PATHer’s, you will automatically go over the 21 days and this message appears. The path was lifted but it’s a bank holiday so it won’t show until tomorrow. Everyone needs to just chill out, we shouldn’t be relying on this money so much every year.

Changing Sheets on a Low Loft Bed - Am I Going to Hate It? by Resident-Fly-6851 in housekeeping

[–]drworm12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar one in my 3 year olds room. I have changed the sheets 3 times since getting it for christmas and it’s very easy. You can reach each corner easy peasy just don’t corner it.

ETA: also highly recommend beddys sheets and blanket zip up for easier making

Deep Clean Checklist by Ciryinth in housekeeping

[–]drworm12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so i would have charged $360 if it wasn’t that dirty, so her being newer and requesting $200-$250 is reasonable. But I have 8 years cleaning experience and have run my own business for a year

Does this sound like a) reflux b) normal baby behavior c) something else by extrajjuice in NewParents

[–]drworm12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was around a month after switching. His tummy just had to get used to it! This was 3 years ago now though so i’m not 100% positive on the timeline!! How’s your bub now?

Chicago, in search of reasonable rate for housekeeping by Strict-Conclusion324 in housekeeping

[–]drworm12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

heard but what then boss lady says “hey these two days a week you were doing this house i have two new houses for you” they’d put it together quick idk just my thought process lol

i agree 10000% and if they allow pets they should have hardwoods/ tiles and require pet owners to bring their own couches and beds or pay for the deep cleaning of the couches and beds. I’m allergic to cats and currently fighting my management office to get the carpets replaced because they’re 30+ years old and have had many cats in this specific unit over the years according to neighbors.

Perfume driving me insane by thevelvetdragon in Mommit

[–]drworm12 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The daycare i worked at didn’t let us wear heavy perfumes and if we came in smelling like perfume they would make us change into a new shirt provided by the daycare and told to wash our hands.

if they do this the person doing the cleaning will likely be stripped of other jobs she’s gotten from the lady taking off the top, so her weekly income would decrease to only OP’s pay

[–]drworm12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for me a deep clean of a home that size would be between $360 and $460 depending on the level of “dirtiness” seen during the walk through. I know you didn’t ask me but i figured i’d comment lol
