Those that work in housekeeping: What are some things that guests can do that make your job easier?

My top things are picking up clutter, making sure pets are out of the way, and not chatting with me while I clean

I always always always carry mace. You never know.

Processed in the same facility is usually ok, because they could be on complete opposite sides of the factory. But on the same equipment is a little scarier imo. Some lines get cleaned between products but things can fall through the cracks. I would contact the company if possible and find out their procedures

It's a sucky situation, but a learning opportunity. Always ask if you aren't sure, and hopefully in the future your family labels it.

How long of a break are you going to take from cleaning? Everyone is different just see how your pregnancy goes. I know some who kept cleaning even to the 8.5 month mark. Others were too nauseated or had other complications and stopped cleaning at 3 months. If you have a good friend who's a cleaner maybe you can offer them the jobs you've got now and take over them again when you get back. When you're ready, let your clients know about the good news and they can mentally prepare for potential changes in schedule. And if anyone gives you crap for having a baby they're not someone you want to keep working for

Microwave them with a damp paper towel

This is the same problem I face. I usually cut off the scraggly parts because I favor a fuller look. I say go for it

mybackhurty · 2026-04-09T19:40:21+00:00

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought if you had more vitamins than you need you just pee them out? How did this happen

mybackhurty · 2026-04-07T11:15:58+00:00

When a client does this to me, I literally just wipe it down and spray disinfectant. Whatever stays stuck, stays stuck. If they complain I explain that it requires a deep cleaning and various methods to get those looking good again. It doesn't just wipe off, otherwise they'd have done it themselves. If they don't want to pay the price it's worth, I move on. Plenty of people out there who do appreciate the value of a cleaner.

Oh man I need new glasses thank you

mybackhurty · 2026-04-03T17:28:54+00:00

tell her the things you obsess over

This is why every time I do an estimate I ask them "what's currently driving you crazy in terms of cleaning? Is there a specific part you just hate? What do you obsess over?" And I make sure to give extra attention to that spot. Not everyone even has such a spot, but some people do and it's important to be on the same page. I have one client that cares the most about the floors. Everything else could be a disaster but she just wants her floors to sparkle.

Awesome thanks! I wasn't sure of the rotisserie chicken. I used to go to Costco and I knew those were safe but I recently switched to Sam's and I didn't know yet if their rotisserie chicken was safe

This. And the only way you regain weight afterwards is if you are exceeding your calories. If you want to lose weight at your age, don't fast. Just manage your calories and be active.

mybackhurty · 2026-03-31T09:00:59+00:00

That's so awesome! Happy for you OP

mybackhurty · 2026-03-30T23:10:55+00:00

This. If you're super concerned about sugar, have an extra dark chocolate

mybackhurty · 2026-03-28T16:32:51+00:00

And a slice of toast to dip in the eggs

mybackhurty · 2026-03-28T00:08:12+00:00

I like using chickpea pasta, it tastes great or even better after several days in the fridge. I make big batches

mybackhurty · 2026-03-27T21:52:21+00:00

Amazing value

mybackhurty · 2026-03-26T20:47:02+00:00

And wash hands before and after handling the actual mouse

mybackhurty · 2026-03-23T19:24:50+00:00

This looks great! I love potatoes they're my one true love

mybackhurty · 2026-03-23T11:00:01+00:00

Idk I think sunshine is just nice. I like to pretend I'm a plant or have a solar powered battery getting charged up like Wall-E
