I do this every two weeks. And the person who recommended the cleaning lady to me was a total slob, so I know the cleaning lady wouldn’t mind. But I can’t have the house too messy for her.
Heh. I worked as a housekeeper for a rich family for a while. I spent more time just picking up after the parents and the kids than really cleaning or cooking. Every morning, clean up the toothbrushes, hairbrushes and shaving gear, fold and put away the rejected clothing. Mom cam home mid-morning, showered again and changed clothes, so again pick up and put away at least half of her clothes. Kids come home from school, lounge in front of the TV eating boxes of cookies, so as soon as they stuff themselves I’m vacuuming the crumbs. We won’t even discuss the condition of the dining area after meals. After being raised to clean up after myself, it was quite an eye-opener as to how the privileged live.

There’s a difference between “cleaning” before the cleaning lady shows up and picking up so that the cleaning lady can actually “clean”.
