From My Bathroom
Are you ready for the biggest first world problem ever?
It is really hard to find a good, competent, cleaning service.
There, I said it.
I never quite understood why people would clam up when friends ask for the contact info of competent people who help with domestic tasks around their homes, like the babysitter or the gardener or the pool boy, but now I'm beginning to get it. Once you let a revolving door of cleaning ladies into your home who don't know that grout between bathroom tiles requires scrubbing and that gas burners need to stay dry, you'd be kind of stupid to share the name of the amazing person from the agency who showed up one day and boom, Monica cleans your home (please watch any episode of Friends if you're lost) and to prove it, places a sticker on your toilet paper. Branding is what I think they call this.
Only, of course, me being a germaphobe, my mind immediately goes to how someone's hands were all over the outside sheets of this roll which I am now to use down there. No, thank you. I tear off the outside layer and toss it straight into the trash. Seems a tad wasteful, but absolutely necessary.
Like I said, first world problems.
i understand the folding, as we did this when i worked in a hotel as a housekeeper, but the sticker is just weird lol it's toilet paper not an envelope. But, as someone who knows a lot of people that work as housekeepers/custodians in public places AND clean residentials on the side, they really could use recommendations because it'll increase their revenue.
ReplyDeletewhat does the sticker say? i see wizard but that can't be right lol
ReplyDeleteI think branded stickers on TP rolls is common in Manhattan. Every agency has their own logo on a cute little sticker. I've seen it in hotel rooms after housekeeping stops by, but it feels like overkill in private residences.
ReplyDeleteI believe it says Wizard of Women? Or Wizard of Homes? I didn't hire the service so I'm not sure, but I think Homes sounds better than Women!
